E&E: Exploration & Empire

Exploration & Empire

---

Exploration & Empire is a new map that takes place throughout the 1800s, an era where new nations have already received their independence in the Americas, while the Europeans are beginning their domination of Africa. Play as a newly born American nation, a colonial empire, or a regional power. Expand your empire across the region or the globe, dominate the nations around you, and explore new lands! This is Exploration & Empire!

The American Frontier is an important aspect of relations between the United States and Mexico, as well as an important factor in the growth of the United States. There are 6 cities with 5 reinforcement each within Mexican territory that are neutral. Each of these cities has a special unit in them called "Frontier". These units have 150 defence, but their defence weakens by -50 when faced against an American Frontiersman. It should take between 10-15 Frontiersmen to capture one of these cities.

The Russians have an important railroad that crosses from Moscow to Yakutsk. This can be used to transport units. There are a total of five stations along this line, and each of them has a Railway unit in them from turn 1. You cannot build any more railroads, and if all of them get destroyed, you can only build regular naval units for this railroad. Use them wisely. Each Railway can transport up to 30 units.

The Russians and the Brazilians have a combined amount of three fortresses. One is located in Manaus, Brazil, and the other two are located in Yakutsk and Novosibirsk, Russia. These fortresses are used to defend territory that is otherwise very hard to defend due to their isolation. You cannot build any more fortresses.

Other special units include Ottoman Janissaries, Japanese Samurais, and British Red Coats. These units have their own respective buffs and nerfs compared to other units of their types, and can be used to your advantage.

India is a very crowded place that has quite a few different empires all combined into one sub-continent. The main empire in the area is known as "Indian States", but is primarily the territory of Maratha. The British Empire is the largest colonial empire present in India. The other empires present are the Spanish Empire, the French Empire, and the Austrian Empire. To prevent confusion in terms of wallfucks, if your first turn walling will prevent either Britain or Maratha from walling a capital city, Britain and Maratha get the right of way. Their empires in this are are more important to gameplay.
