Explore

Exploration is one of the main ways of growing your Province. Via the Explore page, a province may send out soldiers, at the cost of gc, to acquire additional acres.

On this page you will have the following information:

• Exploration Costs (Soldiers)
• Exploration Costs (Gold)
• Available Uncharted Acres (also known as the Explore Pool)
• Currently Exploring
• Maximum Explorable Now

If you have the Soldiers and the Gold, you will be able to explore for Acres to grow your Province. Explore costs increase significantly when over Kingdom Median in acres.

Available Uncharted Acres

Available Uncharted Acres, also know as the Explore Pool, has the following features:

• Starts at 200 Acres at the start of the Age.
• It grows by 2 Acres per Tick.
• It is soft capped at 1000 Acres.
• When a War ends, a provision of additional Pool is added to each Province for both Kingdoms, this can increase the Pool over the 1000 Acres soft cap.
• Awarded Acres in the Pool over the soft cap of 1000 Acres are auto-explored on War end.

Restrictions

The following restrictions are in place:

• Provinces may not explore without the resources to cover the costs.
• At least 50% of existing Acres must be built or undergoing construction.
• The Explore Pool must be greater than 0 Acres.
• Provinces can not explore more than their current Acres at once.
• Kingdoms with less than 10 Provinces will have an explore penalty.

Effects of War on Exploration

The following penalties apply during war:

• Exploration costs increased to 600% during active War and End of War Cease-Fire (or 300% during End-of-War Cease-Fire for Provinces below the Kingdom Median, including incoming explored Acres).
• During End-of-War Cease-Fire, when under Median, explore time is reduced by 50%.
