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 a tick
- It is softcapped at 2000 acres

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 upon or undergoing construction.

- Provinces can not explore more than their current acres at once.
- Kingdoms with less than 10 provinces will see an increased 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 kingdom median, including incoming explored acres).
- During end-of-war cease-fire, when under median, explore time is halved.
