Explore

In The Reincarnation, exploring is the safe way to gain more acres of land, in contrast to gaining land in battles with other kingdoms. Exploring is very efficient when you have little land, and becomes increasingly less efficient when you have gained more. You can specify the number of turns you want to spend exploring in the Explore screen. Exploring many turns at once does not give a land gain benefit above exploring turn-by-turn. Note that the rate at which land is explored also depends on the length of the game so far (late comers can explore faster) and is effected by enchantments. There are also items that give you extra land.

The amount of land determines a large part of your net power. Exploring a lot of land means you will quickly rise in ranks, defending new explored land and maintaining ranks is a different matter, and requires using the resources of your land. Newly explored land comes as barren wilderness. After exploring, you’ll need to build structures on these acres of wilderness to use and defend the land of your kingdom.

On some servers, the maximum amount of land to which one can explore is limited (e.g. to 3500 acres). There is no hard cap on exploring, but the Wilderness returns will just drop to about zero (apart from enchantment bonus). When a mage has reached the point where on-averge 0 acres per turn are generates, exploring 200 turns gives a few single acres and exploring without enchantment help is no longer practical.

Luck gives a +10% boost to average land explored.
