    Well, that will be a new one. Why would they change science related things, again... and as per normal procedure, for the worse. Why do we even have a science system? As more time goes on, the less it is worth the player to waste time and resources (and spots to build on the island) for a science system that never updates to the new releases (Sophisticated Pillager), and even degrades over time (now, Sturdy Shovel). For all the good things going on in the game, it is sad to see the science system fall to attrition.

    I'm wondering if these two things are related.......

    A week or so ago went on test to try out the new explorer. I noticed that the wild determination skill wasn't working anytime map frags were in the right hand column but it worked properly when frags were in the left one. So maybe, since eggs are in the right hand column sturdy shovel is having no effect, same as what's happening with map frags on the new explorer? Is this a brand new bug? Is this one for BB_Endesmor to look into for us?

    Excellent question Perwyn. I do not recall if on test explorers brought back more presents with Sturdy Shovel. Either way they redid the whole event resource thing, perhaps they left that part out. And with the MOD ruining the other generals, the new explorer affecting the old ones does make sense.
    One army. Pretty please.

    I am sorry, but please do not blame us for this.

    Hi Perwyn,

    Thanks for the report. We will take a second look and I will forward the details.

    Any word yet on whether or not sturdy shovel will apply to event resources?

    The event has been live on the French server for about a week now, and this is the way to go.

    Send your explorers on the shortest search you will still be around to send them immediately back out. If you have the means to be around for short searches you will get double the eggs.

    I think that this has ALWAYS been the best strategy, in or out of the event. The only thing I see altering is utilizing explorers scienced for adventures in the search of treasure while the event is running.
