I have good news and some more good news, but I'll start with the good news!

I believe the expedition mechanic has reached a point where I finally got everything figured out.
And while it doesn't look or seem that impressive at first glance, I'm pretty sure it's the most complex mechanic I've done so far with all the different calculations running in the background.
One of the things that was holding it back was deciding how to deal with the different scouting spots you can send your troops to gather material from, something I wasn't sure how to balance or restrict until I found the best solution was to make it an infinite resource where each location has its own set of various material that is randomly rolled each time.
This way I can also re-shuffle the loot pool later or add in new rewards without having to take into consideration if the place has already been explored before or not.

I also solved how to let the players manually check exactly how many minutes are left before an expedition is over to let you send out the troops out again, along with claiming any reward.
So it looks like the next beta will be out this upcoming weekend, y'all!

Thus, I'm out for today and back again next week!
