Beyond the Cape

I am currently working on more restrictions like the Deep Ocean and Cape, but for land locations. I would like the climates Arctic, Hot Arid and Tropical to require an advance as well. This is because I see the AI explore Western Sahara a lot, and moving south to Jolof without going through the sea. This is not what I want at all.

Also, there was a post in the forum that left an impression on me. AI Timurids colonizing Siberia and the Russia player didn't get a chance to. I don't think these things should happen, at least not commonly or easily.

And yes, exploration maintenance is absolutely nonsensical. I understand they did it for gameplay reasons, but it's so jarring that it breaks immersion for me.

I'll keep working on the balance based on your feedback. It's tricky, because I don't want you guys to be frustrated by constant exploration failure, but also tweaking too much results in it being too easy when it shouldn't. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks for the quick update, I tried it out earlier today before the 1.05 patch and I noticed some improvements. My explorers already on missions in my save game all failed, but my new explorers seemed to fail less often, now it felt like 60% of expeditions made it through and they didn't fail when the exploration was almost done. Most of the explorers that failed had 2-3 years left on the expedition, the closest one was an isolated case and he had 13 months left. What I like about this mod is firstly that there is no exploration maintenance (which makes no sense), it also feels like sending explorers with good stats is a big difference from the ones with low stats. I don't suppose you could add a ban on the Papal states from exploring and colonizing :)? JK, thanks for the quick update once again. Will start a new Portugal game soon and tell you how it went.

@goose glad you're enjoying it! I am continuously working on this and already have some ideas cooking. if you want to join the brainstorming, join the discord! Thank you for playing

Great mod! Feels much more realistic to have my first 4 explorers die trying to map Guyana. Potentially much further down the line there should be region by region difficulty!

Thank you for the consistent updates, I'll check it out tomorrow!

I've updated the mod addressing these issues. Please check the patch notes to see what was changed. This should be savegame compatible so please give it a try there. If the mod is not updating, please resubscribe to force the update.

Thank you for your continued support. Please keep giving feedback.

Thank you for the feedback. I've also felt some frustrations, such as a 8 year exploration failing when there's just a few months left. I am working on some anti-frustration measures.

The Devs did not include this in the game because it is frustrating. That is the easy way. I don't take the easy way. I ask for your patience while I sort this out and find a good balance. Thank you.

Yes I have the same feeling as Damphair. As much as I appreciate this mod improving the experience in some ways, its just not satisfying right now. There needs to be some sort of modifier specific to each region and year. Perhaps techs should also increase the likelyhood of expeditions succeeding.

I really want to like this mod but just looking at the map and rehiring explorers on the same expeditions constantly is a pain. I'm in the 1490ies and I've researched all relevant tech in age of discovery, it feels like only about 10% of my explorations actually succeed. I have succesfully explored newfoundland and colonized it, but I just can't get much futher inland as the explorers just disappear, many times when they only have a few months left on their exploration, leaving me to wait several more years. I can colonize both in Canada and in the Carribbean but I still havn't explored the azores islands, my explorers just refuse to get that done.

@MattS I've just released a new patch that should address these issues. Please update the mod, or resubscribe to force the update. Thank you!
