Sorry 1st attempt was a mess, but this new feature sounds cool. What will it bring I'm hoping for war ships. However in true simulations style it may be important explorations to get us goodies?

I'd like to see historical favourites like below, With space age looming Neil has to be there, but would love to hear your views.

First. I just want to get this out there. Expeditions are dumb idea. With what workers will I send?? Why do I have to keep buying houses? You added the university and make me put workers in there. Now you want me to go on a quest. For what gold food fir maybe cheese our tibber yea no thanks. Really bad idea. How about you give us war replays or maybe 20-24 workers then I will still need that many for base upgrades and university upgrades but by all means quest away it will flop just like the glory system is working so well. All the bases being stacked with Iron Age accounts. But send those precious workers on that quest

Tim said in his SoftN "We ... are actively considering solutions for problems that you uncovered" and " We are working on a new system specifically for Atomic Age, but I can’t reveal any details about it yet." I'm hoping this will mean that this new system will either give us way more workers to get the job done or eliminate the need for them so they can do other things such as go on expeditions. With that said, I agree with @Bruce Wayne this expedition thing does sound like an interesting diversion while waiting for stuff to upgrade. Hopefully it will come out after they fix all the other stuff tho. Thanks for thinking positive Bruce and your fun survey ... Forum needs that 😊

How do we even know expeditions will take workers? Did they say that anywhere?

Or give us tech upgrades that speed up workers, like give them forklifts or something.

no, think he'll pull a ''Moonraker'' and use a laser cannon.... or if Nexon clues in they will have him go the ''Expanse'' route and just deflect asteroids down on opposing warbases, why bother with bombs?

Guys, expeditions will be very simple - like submarine in BoomBeach. U tap your dock and see 3 icons (expeditions) with their cost and different rewards (some shown as question marks to get surprise).

They will need workers, gold/food/oil and possibly a general. When u have that all available u tap send. And after few days (depending on expedition) u get your rewards. That's it. Nothing to expect more.

Rewards will be:
-resources (gold, food, oil, crowns),
-mercenaries,
-trade goods,
-maybe coalitions added to the inventory,
-maybe some troops added to the inventory,
Simple as that but they may have add some historic comment to it - to make it look more sophisticated ;)

He said you will send villagers on quest. Read more closely
As for upcoming new features, there are two I’d like to talk about briefly. The first is Expeditions. This is a new system at the Dock that allows players to send their citizens out on missions to faraway lands and get rewarded with resources, troops, and a few other surprises.

Workers for expeditions, workers for uni - Nexon's intentions are about as subtle as a rhino trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle .....

The only reward you mentioned that's worth anything is the crowns. I dropped from 3,000 medals to 1,000 and I have so much oil now I'm wasting it with max oil. Can't upgrade enough stuff at once to keep it going!! Gold and food are just as ez to get and I'm maxed on national trade goods so what can an expedition do that would be worth the villagers? And 90% of my alliance are all the same way so it's not just me!

While I have no doubt it will be that simple and the 'inspiration' for it taken from some 'other' game, the rewards will have to include something that will make the whales press the Instant button and spend crowns. That reward list can already be bought with crowns. So it will be new stuff that can't be bought anywhere else in the game. Won't matter if it unbalances attacks/war.
