Sibir

[unmerged(1457)]

Just wanted to check...

the only ways to discover terra incognita are:

1. Explorer
2. Conquistador
3. Any Military Unit belonging to a country with the appropriate Land Tech Level
4. Exchange Maps

Are there special or random events too? In a game as Russia does it make sense for me to control the two Sibir provinces that are visible? Will that allow more to be seen beyond or do I just have to wait for the appropriate tech level to move East?

Oh those Sibir people are foolish; here I want to offer them my 389 province map for their measly 8 province map and they refuse

You also get a country's map by sacking their capital. I believe this is the only way to get a map of the rest of Sibir without bribing them silly. Beware the Sibir army with its extremely capable leader though. Lure it to destruction first

There is also a random chance of getting maps when you sink some ships. For this reason, do not expect any provinces you share with a naval nation remaining secret from the rest of the world for long.
