One stumbling block I'm having is that this is a New continent, and the Pcs don't speak the language of the natives. So it makes getting immediate info as useful. That's part of what I liked about Pathfinder's Kingmaker approach. The Pcs job is to Map the region, thus exploring extensively is useful for their job. I don't want epxloration to be a Chore, but sweeping hex to hex, combing through it would be good.Also good point, SiderisAnon - not spending every moment mapping every hex if nothing interesting is there. PF gives the option of "Spend X hours thoroughly combing a hex". I could give them several hexes for free, those that have nothing of interest. Since the PCs aren't the only "team" doing the exploration (but the only team getting anything Useful), I can even fill in the grid with uninteresting things the other Teams have found.The overall shape of it is that the PCs land in a generally "safe" area, sort of like a "Home base" neck of the woods where a few friendly villages are. This corner of the continent is Walled Off from the real nasty stuff Out There, where the real power playing is going on. This walled off corner is for the PCs to get their feet underneath them, to get a hang on the Colonizing, a bit of the exploring, before the PCs decide to push past the Wall, so the fit can start hitting the shan.</blockquote>
