Scouting and Claiming Land


      This is how you discover new land that you can claim as your own. It takes 1 turn to scout for land. Sometimes your scout will get lost and not return. Sometimes the land will be uninhabited which means you can claim it without war. After you gain 30 acres you will no longer find land uninhabited. If the land you discover is occupied, it will be by a random monsters or another kingdom. You do not have to claim land that you discover.
      After 24 hours a discovered land will disappear if you do not claim it. To claim occupied land, you must go to battle and win. When fighting monsters you need to kill at least 75% in order to win the battle. If the monsters gain more experience points from kills you will lose the battle unless you kill them all. When battling another kingdom you must gain more experience and also kill at least 25% of the army to claim the land.
      After the Majere Frontier your scout will find multiple land occupied by monsters. From 1 to 3 land can be found. It still only takes 1 turn to scout the land, although battling will take 2 turns per land. i.e. 3 land occupied by Orcs would take 6 turns to battle.
      If you lose a battle you must scout to find the land again. Whenever you discover land occupied by another kingdom, that kingdom becomes one of your Known Kingdoms. You can send messages to a known kingdom as well as scout for land occupied by that kingdom. These options are available in the Known Kingdoms link from the Claim Land page. Scouting a kingdom will also discover from 1 to 3 land.
      After you find the Key to Cross to the next Frontier, your chances of scouting land is greatly reduced until you cross.
