The World Map

The World Map is an important part of Elvenar, so you will visit it quite frequently.

While exploring the Wold Map you will discover many different Provinces and other player's cities surrounding your own. Elvenar is a mysterious world full of secrets, but it is also peaceful. So don’t hesitate to get in touch with your neighbors and the area around you. Actually, you can visit any city, right from the start.

Scouting Provinces

When you enter the World Map for the first time, you will immediately notice that most of the world is still unknown to you. In fact, the World Map is not much more than a rough draft, at the beginning. However, you can frequently send Scouts to bordering Provinces in order to gain more information about them. The Scouts demand a lot of Coins for their efforts, but they are definitely worth the price.

Once their work is done, the scouted Province gets a lot more details and colours. But most importantly, you can take a look inside it and search for Relics.

In addition, all bordering cities of that Province will also become "discovered". As a result, trading with those neighbours becomes cheaper and you will be able to start giving them Neighborly Help.

Provinces

When you enter a Province, you previously scouted, you can see more detailed information about it. While on their mission of discovery, your Scouts will spot interesting people and will mark their location with an exclamation mark. You should check them out!

At first, all Provinces may look alike, but, if you look closely, you will see each Province type has its own special terrain, depending on the Relics it contains. You may collect those Relics either by negotiating an Encounter, or fighting it. But, be aware, the enemy units you will find on each Province type will also differ, so, be prepared!

Provinces Distance

The further you go, deep into the Wold Map, more distant you get from your city. This means that, not only Scouts will take more time to discover far away Provinces, but also it will cost you more Coins to achieve them.

The Provinces Distance will also influence the ranking points you get by solving each Encounter. You will get 1 ranking point per Encounter * Province Distance. For example, if you solve an Encounter on a Province 3 Provinces away from your city (Distance 3), this means you will get 3 ranking points.

Collecting Relics

On each Province, you will meet a merchant who may offer you a Relic. And you just can’t have enough of these magical objects! But of course, they will come at a price. You may take the merchant's offer or maybe, you can find a way to use your troops to get the Relic and save your resources. It’s up to you!

No matter how you get the Relic, it will always increase your knowledge. In other words, for every Encounter you solve, you will receive a Knowledge Point you can spend in Research, to unlock technologies faster. The World Map is a great source of knowledge, you will see!

Province Expansions

You will receive a Province Expansion as a reward, when you solve all encounters of a certain amount of Provinces. A tooltip in the Buildings Menu, on the Province Expansion, will show you how many “Completed Provinces” you have and how many are “Required for the next Expansion.”

Neigboring Cities

As said before, by exploring the World Map, beside scouting Provinces, you can visit every city right from the beginning!

You can take a look into other players' cities, in order to get inspiration for you own, but once you Discover those cities, you will, also, be able to give them Neighborly Help.

At a certain point in the game, if you take a closer look, you may notice each neighbor has a different image representing their city. This is due to the fact that, when reaching a certain level in the Research Tree, the map will reflect each city development.
