The Smoldering City is at the center of the world map and is where all Viceroys start. This is where Viceroys can buy [[Upgrades]], check their game history and visit their [[Home]], once unlocked.

The foggy cloud cover represents the unexplored world around the [[Smoldering City]]. The fog hides map tiles and their [[Biomes]], [[World Events]], and [[Map Modifiers]] until they are revealed by embarking and completing a mission nearby. Once a Viceroy gets close enough to an unexplored tile with a question mark icon, "?", the fog will be revealed until the next cycle.

== Vision range and Embarkation range ==
[[File:Typical settlement progression.png|thumb|Typical settlement placement]]
Players start out with 2 hexes revealed around the Smoldering City and each of their completed settlements on the World Map. By purchasing [[upgrades]], Smoldering City's vision range can be extended up to 4 tiles, and settlements' to 3 tiles. '''Obsidian Archive''' level 12 is the only upgrade that improves Embarkation/movement range, from 3 to 4. Do note that most of the time your Embarkation range will be limited by vision range - you can't settle 4 hexes away from a settlement with a 3-hex vision range using normal means without backtracking to the Smoldering City or previously completed settlements.
 
Regular tiles on the edge of your vision range are also revealed, but remain mostly covered in the Fog of War (unless they contain a [[World Map modifier]]). These partially revealed tiles can't be settled. The only exception to that are [[World Events]] that necessitate settlement on their hexes - as long as they are within Embarkation distance, you will always be able to claim to that hex.
 
Outside of upgrades, '''Caravan Wagons''' reward (+2 to both vision and movement ranges) from [[World_Map_modifiers#Royal_Resupply|Royal Resupplies]] is the only way to increase settlements' and Smoldering City's vision range on the World Map. The vision range extension is temporary and only applies to the hex you are Embarking from. Once you are back on the World Map after the next settlement, all vision ranges will have returned to normal.

== Minimum difficulty ==
[[File:Difficulty selection.png|Difficulty dropdown|thumb|300px|right]]
:''See for more information: [[Embarking#Difficulty_selection|Difficulty selection]]''
 
All tiles on the World Map have a minimum difficulty associated with them. Within 8 tiles of the Citadel, minimum difficulty is Settler, which means you can choose any unlocked difficulty on the list. As you get further from the Citadel on the World Map, lower difficulties gradually become unavailable. For example, once you cross the 12 tiles threshold, Settler, Pioneer, and Veteran can no longer be selected (they show up as Too Far in the difficulty dropdown).
 
Difficulty thresholds are communicated with rings formed by a dark colored outline on some sides of the World Map hexes. The distance between the rings on the World Map is 2 tiles for Pioneer, Veteran, and Viceroy zones. The next three zones, Prestige 5, Prestige 10, and Prestige 15, grow by 3 tiles each. Past 23 tiles of distance from the Citadel, only Prestige 20 difficulty is available.
