World Map/Map Locations

Exploration

At the beginning of every game, there are several locations already available on the World Map:

• The Home Island, displayed as a yellow icon with three houses, from which the game begins.

• A village next to your Home Island for easy early game trade once you've gained access to trading through research, repairs and infrastructure.

• Several Unknown Locations, displayed as grey question marks, which can be explored with The Ship once it is repaired.

Discovering locations:

Locations can be discovered in two ways:

• In the early game, it is only possible to discover an Unknown Location by ordering the ship to travel there and explore it. Once explored, the location will be discovered, and any further connecting nodes will be revealed as an Unknown Location, GRAY.

• After upgrading the Ship's bridge, locations can be discovered by visiting the node on the map directly preceding the new location. Connecting nodes will be revealed with their original icon, coloured either RED or GREEN, if there is an enemy present or not.

Exploring locations:

Locations can be Explored by visiting them with The Ship: Unexplored locations fall into two categories:

1. A Location With Enemy with a RED map icon. (It must be defeated for the location to be Explored.)
2. An Unknown Location with a GREEN map icon.
