🧭 Expedition Events

26 events6 follow-ups

The scripted “send a character off to explore distant lands” Expedition chains. Some entries are follow-ups that only fire after an earlier expedition via an event link. Each card shows what fires it, who's eligible, the guaranteed reward, and every response you can pick. See also Ruin Events and the mission events on Rally Troops / Hold Court / Steal Research.

How yield rewards scale ↗ turn

A yield reward like +40 Science +10/city ↗turn is not a flat number. The amount you actually receive is:

(base + per-city × your cities) × turn multiplier

  • Per-city adds that much for every city you own (the rival's cities for Steal-Research-style effects).
  • Turn multiplier is ×1 up through turn 60, then ×(turn ÷ 60) after — ×1.5 at turn 90, ×2 at turn 120, ×3.3 at turn 200.

The number on each chip is the ×1 (base) value. Hover a yield chip for a cities × turn table of the real reward. Example — +40 Science +10/city with 4 cities: 80 early game → 120 at turn 90 → 160 at turn 120. The mission pages also have a live calculator. ("Tiny / Small / Average / Large" in the game are just preset base/per tiers — shown here as their real numbers.)

⚠ Weights are not in-game odds. Each story is gated by character/empire conditions (some hidden in-game), so its real frequency is filtered in ways the XML can't predict — community analytics differ a lot from raw weights. Treat the weight as the XML knob, not a probability.
