What increases scouting costs?

[DeletedUser1017]

Is it:

1) Scouting new provinces
2) Completing provinces
3) ??????

I can't afford to make my scouting costs increase. I'm one province away from discovering a valuable player, but my Main Hall doesn't quite hold enough $. (It's already at level 17). I've been at a stand still for over a month without scouting or completing provinces. If someone knows what it is that causes the scouting costs to increase, I could possibly do a little action on my map. I'm at the end of the research map, so hopefully a new scouting costs decrease will arrive shortly.

Thanks guys!

I believe it's scouting. I had 24 open territories waiting till I unlocked dwarven before I finished them. Then I knocked them all out and there was no change until I scouted again.

There are three factors that effect your Scouting Costs, which we're chasing over at https://us.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/brainstorming-about-tournaments.1728/

• The total number of scouted sectors
• The pointy-topped hexagonal ring distance
• The Advanced Scouting technologies
• Completing provinces doesn't change the scouting costs, rather it provides access to additional scoutable provinces

If your main hall is level 17 and you cant afford to scout anymore you have officially hit the wall
You have to wait for new chapter in research and hopefully we can update main hall

and hopefully we can update main hall

As well as getting another 25% reduction in scouting costs/times, if Advanced Scouting is once again the first technology in the next chapter.

That's what I wanted to know! Thanks!

Fingers crossed.
