Renowned Explorers

[xploring]

The 48 hours challenge right after expansion release finished and these are the bonus contents as a result. It's the maximum we can get from the challenge.

Tier 1 (50 MP): You're not the only traveler on expeditions...
A few new events will be scattered around the world, with some spotlight time for some Entourage characters! (Will be in the base game partially)
Tier 2 (100 MP): A dark force terrorizes the Andes...
A malificent Inca priest has found a relic that holds terrible power! Will the crew be able to get this relic and stop the priest? (More to Explore only)
Tier 3 (150 MP): Muscat & San Francisco
The sheriff of San Francisco and the king of Muscat are very impressed with the spirit of the Renowned Explorers. To attract more renown to their own cities, they've planned for opening up new facilities for explorers! San Francisco will open up a modest new Entourage shop, while Muscat will offer exotic trinkets in it's humble bazaar.
Naturally, Sydney and New Orleans will respond accordingly to this new competition on the market... (Will affect both base and More to Explore)

There are some bugs with the new expansion but it's playable. Fine tuning and details mainly but gog version can't get new campfire cards at the moment. That's a bit of a downer.

So I played a bit more, been to the other new expedition, Lost Island, twice. This is a 5-star expedition, the Andean is 3-star, so 13 different expeditions in total in this game (5 per individual campaign for scoring). This is different to every other expeditions, inverted in a way. There are 3 mysteries to solve so it's not the same boss encounter every time, you can choose which one to go after. Lot of new treasures, very rewarding in terms of tokens and it's a lot of fun. I have only solved 2 mysteries, the boss remaining is apparently much harder. The campfire story, it's an additional bonus you get mid-expedition. The game randomly selects 4 cards from all available for you to choose and you can select to keep or discard the unused cards and pick again next expedition. There are 3 unique cards for every character, so 3x20=60, you need to unlock these, 1 for every run you make in adventure mode, win or lose. There is one card that allows you to do a higher level expedition so you can do both of the highest level expeditions, Shangrila and Lost Island. The other ones are different variety of bonus, some relates to perks(professional trait), I haven't got them yet. You start with 5 basic cards which gives you basic tokens: 8 Collect/Campaign/Study, or 5 Encounters or 2 Resolve.

Some information can be difficult to find, Kallac has started to revamp the wiki.

There is a treasure guide on steam to help you find them too, but the bonus from them has changed. Some of the new bonus doesn't fit with the image of the treasure, like getting science for a treasure chest. That may get changed later, not sure. At the moment it's just fixing the bugs and balancing I think. Support is promised until August. Depending on the sales numbers, development may end if there are not enough players.

Sorry I misinformed quite a bit regarding campfire because I was on gog and couldn't see the cards. Some of them get a little follow up story in a later expedition between two crew members, they are fun. :) I got about 5-6 new cards so far per win so shouldn't take too long to unlock them all. There are some duplicates, everyone seems to get only 1 "real" campfire story with followup story later. They change though depending on your team members so lot to unlock and discover.

You can find the list to campfire cards here (at the bottom, contains spoilers):

With scoring, status has been nerfed and gold is really good now.

It's one year anniversary for Renowned Explorers, and there's a special going on steam, 50% off the bundle ($12.50) and 60% off for base game ($8). There's a new patch to go with the anniversary, they have been adding a few more changes and treasures to the latter expeditions so they are a bit different to how they were 2 months ago when the last expansion comes out. Another new expansion has been announced in the stream last night though no details yet. The game is still being fixed and patched every few weeks so minor new contents are regularly added even without the expansion.
