Hi Dark, The manual provides some insight on this topic, as it happens. Any less than about seven goods or cows per sacrifice is seen as stingy, or at least unlikely to work. Fourteen or larger is a safe minimum. Any less than 10 or 15 goods or cows in gift giving is also stingy. As for exploration, I think that when you go to the map screen and hit the explore button for the first time you end up near the northwestern part of the map in most cases. You probably would have to scroll to see your exploration cross. I believe your clan typically ends up in the central southern area, although the precise position varies from game to game. Don't under estimate the value of just exploring your tula either, which you can do by not double-tapping another hex before sending the expedition off. I hope this helps a little bit. I should also point out that the values for gifts above are traditional, and under exceptional circumstances you might have to give substantially more. in particular, tribe formation is a very expensive prospect. Hope this helps, Zack. On Nov 20, 2012, at 2:43 PM, "dark" <d...@xgam.org> wrote:
