===Scouting Provinces===
===Scouting Provinces===


When you enter the World Map for the first time, you will immediately notice that most of the world is still unknown to you. In fact, the world map is not much more than a rough draft at the beginning. But you can frequently send scouts to bordering provinces to gain more information about them. The scouts demand a lot of coins for their efforts, but they are definitely worth the price.

In fact, the World Map is not much more than a rough draft, at the beginning. However, you can frequently send Scouts to bordering Provinces in order to gain more information about them. The Scouts will tell you how easy or hard it will be to scout a Province and will demand a lot of Coins for their efforts, but they are definitely worth the price.

Once their work is done, the province on the map gets lots more details (and colour!) and, most importantly, you can take a look inside and search for Relics. In addition, all neighbouring cities of that province will become discovered, too. This will make trading with those neighbours cheaper and you can start giving neighbourly help.

===Provinces===
 
When you enter a Province you previously scouted, you can see more detailed information about it. While on their mission of discovery, your Scouts will spot interesting people and will mark their location with an exclamation mark.
 
 
[[File:Scouted_Province.png|650px|center]]
 
 
At first, all Provinces may look alike, but, if you look closely, you will see each Province type has its own special terrain, depending on the '''[[Relics|Relics]]''' it contains.
You may collect those Relics either by negotiating an Encounter or fighting it. But, be aware, the enemy units you will find on each Province type will also differ, so, be prepared!

=== Province Distance ===
The further you go, deep into the World Map, the more distant you get from your city. This means that not only will Scouts take longer to reach far away Provinces, but also it will cost you more Coins to scout them.
 
The Province Distance will also influence the [[Ranking|ranking points]] you get by solving each Encounter. You will get 1 ranking point per Encounter * Province Distance. For example, if you solve an Encounter in a Province, 3 Provinces away from your city (Distance 3), you will get 3 ranking points.
 
Fighting and negotiating will get progressively harder the further away you get from your city, requiring that you need to keep upgrading your city to cope with the demands.

===Collecting Relics===
===Collecting Relics===


When you enter a province you previously scouted, you will see a detailed view of it. Your scouts marked interesting spots in the province where they spotted some people with an exclamation mark. You should check them out! Most likely, you will meet a trader there who might offer a Relic to you. You can’t have enough of these magical objects! But of course, they will come at a price. Maybe, you can also find a way to use your troops to get the Relic and save your resources. It’s up to you!
On each Province, you will meet a merchant who may offer you a [[Relics|Relic]]. And you just can’t have enough of these magical objects! But of course, they will come at a price. You may take the merchant's offer or maybe, you can find a way to use your troops to get the [[Relics|Relic]] and save your resources. It’s up to you!
 
No matter how you get the [[Relics|Relic]], it will always increase your knowledge! In other words, for every Encounter you solve, you will receive a Knowledge Point you can spend in Research Tree, to unlock technologies faster, or invest in [[Ancient Wonders]]. The World Map is a great source of knowledge, you will see!

|style="background-color:#af895f;|'''Hint:'''By collecting [[Relics]] you can also increase the production boost for your [[Manufactories#Production_Boost|boosted Goods]].
|}
 
===Completing Provinces===
By completing Provinces you can also get additional rewards: Province Expansions and/or Rune Shards.
 
*You will receive a [[Expansions#Province_Expansions_Overview|Province Expansion]] as a reward when you solve all encounters of a certain number of Provinces. A tooltip in the Buildings Menu, on the [[Expansions#Province_Expansions_Overview|Province Expansion]], will show you how many “Completed Provinces” you have and how many are “Required for the next Expansion.”
 
*After researching the first Ancient Wonders' Technology, every time you complete a province you will also get a random Rune Shard for one of the unlocked buildings, which you can find in the Ancient Wonders' Menu.

No matter how you get the Relic, it will always also increase your Knowledge. Or in other words: You will receive a Knowledge Point you can spend in the Research Tree to unlock technologies faster. The world map is great source of knowledge.
===Provinces Overview===


[[File:Provinces_overview_scoutable.png|center]]


[[File:reward_.png|500px|center]]
When you open the Provinces Overview, the Scoutable tab shows you:
* The direction of the Province on your map.
* The Encounter Ranking Points value.
* The type of Province (Marble, Crystal, Elixir, etc.).
* The difficulty to scout the Province: Very Easy - Very Hard.
* The Scout's Note or whether it is still locked.


===Visiting others===
You can also Navigate to each Province.


As has been noted, you can always pay a visit to your neighbours to get some inspiration for your own city. All neighbours in the nearer area are also your natural trading partners. You can exchange goods with them using your trader, but the trader will put a fee on top of the offering. So, trading with your unknown neighbours can be a bit expensive at first.
[[File:Provinces_overview_incomplete.png|center]]


Once you have scouted a province next to a neighbour, things become more interesting. The neighbour then becomes “discovered” to you which will give you some opportunities to help each other: First, you can now give Neighbourly Help to him once a day. Visit him, activate the Neighbourly Help and select the building which you want to help. You will receive some coins for your work, and, in case your neighbour also helped you within the last 24 hours, you will also receive supplies. In fact, if both of you do this regularly, you will receive additional supplies all the time.
In addition, the Incomplete tab shows you:
* The number of completed Encounters in each Province [[File:Completed_Encounters.png]]


The second effect of discovering a neighbour is the ability to trade with him without paying a fee. The trader will not demand a fee from you if you buy an offer from a discovered neighbour. So keep on scouting and discovering others!
===Neighboring Cities===


===Neighborly Help===
As said before, by exploring the World Map, you can both scout Provinces and visit every city right from the beginning!


The Neighborly Help allows you to interact with other players and to be rewarded for it.
You can take a look into other players' cities, in order to get inspiration for your own, but once you "discover" those cities, you will also be able to give them [[Neighborly Help|Neighborly Help]].
The Neighborly Help for the helping player: If you visit another player’s city, you can find an option to help out in one of their buildings. You can only help players you have discovered on the map already and you can only help each of them once a day. To discover a player you need to scout one of his neighboring provinces.
When visiting your neighbor’s city you will see the icon “Neighborly Help” under his portrait.
To enable a helpful effect, just click on that icon and select one of the marked buildings in his city.
You will also receive a reward for your help:
*You will receive an amount of Coins, which depends on your Main Hall level. You will find the current amount in a Tooltip on the Neighborly Help Display Tooltip in the Main Hall.
This Tooltip also shows you which Bonus you will get if someone else helps your Main Hall.
*If you help someone who has already helped you within the last 24 hours, you will also receive Supplies.
After helping a player a countdown timer will start. Once the time is over, you can help again. The timer is displayed on the neighborly help button tooltip Tooltip and on the World Map.
The Neighborly Help for the visited player: In your own city, you can see an icon above buildings who received help. The actual bonus effect of that building is displayed in its tooltip Tooltip.
The effect of Help depends on the building type. You can also see the effect in the tooltip of the building.


At a certain point in the game, if you take a closer look, you may notice each neighbor has a different image representing their city. This is due to the fact that, when a player reaches a new Chapter, the map reflects the city´s development.

The World Map

The World Map is an important part of Elvenar, so you will visit it quite frequently.

While exploring the World Map you will discover many different Provinces and other players' cities surrounding your own. Elvenar is a mysterious world full of secrets, but it is also peaceful. So don’t hesitate to get in touch with your neighbors and the area around you. Actually, you can visit any city, right from the start.

Scouting Provinces

When you enter the World Map for the first time, you will immediately notice that most of the world is still unknown to you. In fact, the World Map is not much more than a rough draft, at the beginning. However, you can frequently send Scouts to bordering Provinces in order to gain more information about them. The Scouts will tell you how easy or hard it will be to scout a Province and will demand a lot of Coins for their efforts, but they are definitely worth the price.

Hover over the Province to see the cost of scouting:

Click the Province to open the Scout's Note:

Click the Scout button to commence scouting:

Once their work is done, the scouted Province gets a lot more detail and color. But most importantly, you can take a look inside it and search for Relics.

In addition, all bordering cities of that Province will also become "discovered". As a result, trading with those neighbors becomes cheaper and you will be able to start giving them Neighborly Help.

Hint: It is advisable to scout only the number of Provinces needed for the next chapter in the Research Tree. The cost for fighting or trading to complete the Province will increase with each newly scouted Province. And in later Provinces, you will need Orcs to be able to "negotiate" (produced in Armories level 20 and above).

Provinces

When you enter a Province you previously scouted, you can see more detailed information about it. While on their mission of discovery, your Scouts will spot interesting people and will mark their location with an exclamation mark.


Scouted Province.png


At first, all Provinces may look alike, but, if you look closely, you will see each Province type has its own special terrain, depending on the Relics it contains. You may collect those Relics either by negotiating an Encounter or fighting it. But, be aware, the enemy units you will find on each Province type will also differ, so, be prepared!


Provinces Overview
Basic Goods Refined Goods Precious Goods
Province of Marble Province of Crystal Province of Elixir
Province of Steel Province of Scrolls Province of Magic Dust
Province of Planks Province of Silk Province of Gems

Province Distance

The further you go, deep into the World Map, the more distant you get from your city. This means that not only will Scouts take longer to reach far away Provinces, but also it will cost you more Coins to scout them.

The Province Distance will also influence the ranking points you get by solving each Encounter. You will get 1 ranking point per Encounter * Province Distance. For example, if you solve an Encounter in a Province, 3 Provinces away from your city (Distance 3), you will get 3 ranking points.

Fighting and negotiating will get progressively harder the further away you get from your city, requiring that you need to keep upgrading your city to cope with the demands.

Hint:After entering each province sector you will be able to see how far that province is by looking at the ranking points it will give you when finishing the encounter successfully.

Collecting Relics

On each Province, you will meet a merchant who may offer you a Relic. And you just can’t have enough of these magical objects! But of course, they will come at a price. You may take the merchant's offer or maybe, you can find a way to use your troops to get the Relic and save your resources. It’s up to you!

No matter how you get the Relic, it will always increase your knowledge! In other words, for every Encounter you solve, you will receive a Knowledge Point you can spend in Research Tree, to unlock technologies faster, or invest in Ancient Wonders. The World Map is a great source of knowledge, you will see!

Hint:By collecting Relics you can also increase the production boost for your boosted Goods.

Completing Provinces

By completing Provinces you can also get additional rewards: Province Expansions and/or Rune Shards.

  • You will receive a Province Expansion as a reward when you solve all encounters of a certain number of Provinces. A tooltip in the Buildings Menu, on the Province Expansion, will show you how many “Completed Provinces” you have and how many are “Required for the next Expansion.”
  • After researching the first Ancient Wonders' Technology, every time you complete a province you will also get a random Rune Shard for one of the unlocked buildings, which you can find in the Ancient Wonders' Menu.

Neighboring Cities

As said before, by exploring the World Map, you can both scout Provinces and visit every city right from the beginning!

You can take a look into other players' cities, in order to get inspiration for your own, but once you "discover" those cities, you will also be able to give them Neighborly Help.

At a certain point in the game, if you take a closer look, you may notice each neighbor has a different image representing their city. This is due to the fact that, when a player reaches a new Chapter, the map reflects the city´s development.
