Mayors, the new archaeological expedition is here!
Victor Rich invites you to join the search for artifacts dedicated to ancient Russia to enrich your museum with exhibits of another interesting and original culture.

Are you ready for the adventure?

Archaeological expeditions last 9 days. There are 6 maps in total in expeditions. They repeat endlessly but with each transition, they are updated – you can re-collect resources from them. This will help you collect the necessary items sooner!

There are a number of tasks on every map. When you complete the tasks you receive tiny shards that you can use to restore the museum exhibits in the Archaeological Museum.

The Archaeological Museum is located in your city and remains where you decide to place it. It will remain there after the completion of the expeditions and will bring you profit.

Players can only exhibit 3 expositions in the Museum at the moment as there are 3 rooms available in total.

When you remove obstacles on the map, you get points for the Club’s excavations.

There are 2 tabs in the club’s excavation plan:

• Club aims: These are the aims of your club for the whole expedition.
• Excavation intensity: These are the daily resettable goals for the expenditure of expeditionary energy by the club members.

 

Club Aims: You need to be a member of a club and collect a minimum of 10 points to participate in a club aim. After that, the more points the club members collect, the more prizes the club will be able to receive: expedition energy, seasonal currency, marathon cards, superbucks, and artifact fragments.

The main prize for the club excavation is the Samovar workshop. It gives 3600 coins, 1-5 energy, 2-5 glass baubles every 22 hours.

Excavation intensity: You need to be a member of the club and spend the expedition energy. The more energy is spent by all club members, the more bonus energy from expeditions they can get.
 
Note that:

1. Each player has a limit on the energy spent per day that is recorded. If you spend more energy, then it no longer goes into the total count for a day;
2. The timer is reset daily at midnight UTC;
3. To receive bonus energy, you need to click on the “Get” button – energy is not added to you automatically! If you have not clicked the button you will not be able to receive energy;
4. Collect valuable finds to get Tsar’s Residence (task icon is visible in the expedition location only);
    
   

   To get Tsar’s Residence you need to collect 2500 valuable finds.

   Please note that this building is optional and is not a part of the collection of the Archaeological Museum. It’s just a separate house that will bring you additional in-game bonuses: 3900 coins, 3-5 energy, 3-4 glass baubles, and 1 useful item every 22 hours.



5. Bring points to your club in the Clubs’ tournament.
    
   

   At the end of the competition, the clubs with the most points will receive banners that will bring bonuses to each club member within 16 days.

6. Get resources that you need to complete the tasks in the expedition.
   For successful completion of tasks, you will receive Tiny Shards which are necessary to restore the exhibits of the Archaeological Museum.

   

   In this expedition, you can also get an artifact fragment (for club activity in the Club Excavation).

   

   This item can be used to reduce the number of tiny shards that are required to restore an exhibit in the Archaeological Museum. Do not forget to click to activate!

!ATTENTION! If you have moved to the next location, then you cannot go back. After moving to a new location, all objects must be rebuilt.

New room: Russian Culture!

If you didn’t have time to finish collecting any of the exhibits in the previous rooms last time, then you can complete the collection this time!
As soon as you collect an exhibition, it will give you an extended bonus for 16 days – do not forget to put it on display, the countdown starts immediately after you restore the last exhibit!
