So, completing Advanced Scouts definitely reduces scouting costs in un-scouted provinces. That reduction in scouting costs is reflected in lower costs for negotiating and fighting within those un-scouted provinces. Those lower costs may or may not be sufficient to trigger a change in the difficulty rating. Activating a Squad Upgrade tech may or may not be sufficient to trigger a change in the difficulty rating and affects both scouted and un-scouted provinces. The range for this change may depend on the number of provinces scouted and/or progress through the research tree. With 90 provinces completed and 10 scouted/uncompleted when unlocking Squad Upgrade 15; all techs in the tree completed to that point and no techs completed past that point: all scouted and un-scouted provinces triggered a change -1 difficulty level.
Does that about sum up what we know so far?
