Exploration
Introduction
A large part of the game is dedicated to exploring the map and looking for opportunities. This is
particularly true at the beginning of a game.
As you move your army around your start point you will discover lost structures, riches, new regions
and climates, untamed Minor Factions and, eventually, other major empires.
Ruins
The cataclysm which plagued Auriga has left behind it remnants of ancient civilizations. In these
ruins, you will find loot, monsters, quests, or possibly nothing at all.
To search a Ruin with an army, simply right-click with it or click on the “Search” army action in the
Army Control panel. A notification panel will display the result (and consequences!) of your search
effort.
Usually a ruin can only be searched once, although some research and special events allow you
to bypass this limit.
