Explorers

[Castellon]

Hi, I know that Conquistadors(sp) have the draw back of 0 level stats when in Europe. Do explorers suffer any draw backs?

Also, I had an explorer die and I think all the ships in his fleet were destroyed as well. Is this a known thing or am I seeing things?

To add to your question: Also can you do anything to get more explorers? (without cheating)

If you go slightly naval and slightly free trade you triple your chances of getting explorers (one left of the middle position). Otherwise if you're interested in a colonial game try a colonial country like Portugal.

The death of an explorer can kill a fleet because they have a huge effect on fleet attrition, when the attrition gets high enough it will hurt the fleet. You can see this if you inspect the attrition score for details. I think Diaz has something like -12 in attrition.

Attrition would not have been a problem here.

Then something else caused it. Maybe the explorer died because the fleet was destroyed? The ordinary death of explorers does not affect the ships they are with.

Explorer stats don't change either. U can use Drake as an admiral in the Channel as well as explorer around the world.

Yes Drake is one of the greatest English "navy leader" in EU2 .

I believe the sliders need to be two left of middle, or at position 3.

There is one additional event at Land less than 5 and then two more at land less than 4 AND mercantilism less than 4.
