Lol req. Honestly if I could explore 150k acres I would net as a techer on occasion lol.

I think they look at things like that as like....exploring costs 1 turn, using your bonus on turns and then using those turns to explore is the exploration bonus.

I'd be down to explore for 150k acres tho. I'm always all for bringing back all-x. But if you tinker with explore rates, the bots will also just be 100k acres and everything will get even more inflated.
