.TH Command EXPLORE
.SY "explore <ITEM> <SECT> <NUMBER> <ROUTE>"
The explore command takes over part of the functionality of move.
Explore is used to stake your claim to unowned sectors.
Only civilians and military can be used to explore.
Note that you can not stop exploring in a sector that you already own.
.s3
<ITEM> can be any one of:
.NF
c       civilians
m       military
.FI
.s1
If <SECT> is not provided in the command line,
the program will request the starting sector
then display the resources of that sector and a map of the
adjoining sectors.
The prompt consists of the number of mobility units in that sector,
its designation, and its coordinates in the form:
.s1
.NF
<97.0: a -6,4>
.FI
.s3
which indicates 97 mobility units in agribusiness sector -6,4.
You may respond with any combination of:
.s1
.NF
y  for up-left
u  for up-right               y    u
g  for left                    \\\\  /
j  for right               g  --  --  j
b  for down-left               /  \\\\
n  for down-right             b    n
v  for view
m  for map
h  for end of movement
.FI
.s3
The \*Qview\*U command shows the sector efficiency
and some of the contents of the sector you are currently occupying.
.s3
Since the <ROUTE> can be specified in the command line,
simple movements are often typed as a single line, such as:
.EX explore m 2,0 20 jjjh
Or some movements may be done partly on the command line and partly
interactively:
.EX explore c 2,0 1 gg

Typical mobility costs are:
.s1
.NF
 1 mu per 5 civilians
 1 mu per 5 military
.FI
.s1
These costs are for movement through a
100% efficient \*Qregular\*U sector in \*Qgood\*U weather.
Wildernesses cost twice as much mobility,
mountains cost \*(iFlots\*(pF more,
and highways can cost as little as nothing (if 100% efficient).
