Sending ships on this revealed the wasteland parts of Greenland (and triggered the Greenland natives event, but their name showed up as 's natives), but not the habitable province on the west coast. I don't really see an option to explore a province of my choosing like the wiki seems to imply.Д®dit: Around 1531, I did get an exploration mission called 'explore the coast of Greenland'. Currently it shows only 'Circumnavigate the Globe' which I don't have enough tech for, but a few years ago it also showed something like the Azores or Canaries which I was allowed to pick (but didn't due to wars with Portugal at the time). But when I click this, I just get a list of preset missions. My expeditionary fleet does indeed contain 3 light vessels and an explorer, so I get the 'Send Fleet on Exploration mission' button. Explorers may trigger certain random events while on missions. Explorers can only be sent on missions to provinces within your colonial range.

When exploring a coastal province, they will discover all coastal provinces adjacent to the sea province in which the target coastal province's port is located. When exploring a sea province, they will discover all adjacent sea-provinces on their way. They will be sent to explore a sea province, or a coastal province. Lastly, yet another thing I saw on the wiki:ДЄ fleet with at least 3 light ships, or at least 3 heavy ships (Though the tool-tip says 3 light ships and 3 heavy ships, only one type is needed) can be sent on an exploration mission. But what is this chance, exactly? Is it something very low, like 0.1%, and I should expect to wait a long time? Or is it supposed to be something high enough that if I don't reveal after a few attempts it means I'm not doing something right? So I understand that it's a matter of chance, and basically you keep moving to the coastal water until you get lucky and reveal the land (which is presumably the logic behind patrolling). Likewise Conquistadors can discover sea regions adjacent to the land provinces they enter. Edit: It turns out that Greenland is a Wasteland except for one single province on the west coast, so revealing it makes little difference.Д®xplorers sometimes remove terra incognita from provinces adjacent to any sea region they enter. In some cases I can see colored provinces that should be native nations, and for Greenland I can actually see that the Western coast is shaded red for out of range, but the Eastern coast is not - so I would be able to even colonize it, if only I could reveal the fog. Even though I can't actually click on any land province in the New World (it says 'Terra Incognita' and doesn't allow me to select it) I can still see slivers of it at the edge of the fog. If I use the colonial map mode, it highlights some provinces red if they cannot be colonized (there are plenty of revealed areas in Africa where I can actually click on the colony regions and check). I guess 'amphibious exploration' isn't possible? Granted, my cog fleet didn't have an explorer, but the army did have a conquistador. the green arrow as opposed to red cross you get for impassable spots) but when I right click nothing happens, they don't actually disembark. When I select the army and mouse over what should be the southern part of Greenland, I get the 'move' cursor (ie. I tried loading up my 10-strong army into a fleet of cogs and sending them to Greenland, but they wouldn't unload. Incidentally, I don't see my explorer ever revealing adjacent sea regions either. I also made about 5-6 trips all the way down to Florida and back to Iceland, but that has also revealed nothing.

But after a year or two of doing this, I haven't revealed any Greenland land territories. So I tried setting my fleet of 3 barques on patrol along the Denmark Strait, Eastern Coast of Greenland and Greenland Tip (then return to Iceland Port for repairs). Upon entering a sea province they also have a chance to discover neighboring coastal provinces Now I want to land some troops and explore the land, because all of it shows up as terra incognita, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.ДЄ fleet led by an explorer can move into terra incognita sea provinces and thus discover them. I explored the sea part of the North American coast starting from Canada down to the Mexican Gulf.I have a conquistador assigned to an army of 5 cannon, 3 infantry and 2 cavalry, his skills are 3/2/1/1.I have an explorer assigned to a fleet of 3 barques, his skills are 2/0/0/0.I finished most of the Exploration Ideas branch.Norway owns Iceland and gave me fleet basing rights.I only have territory in continental Europe (but Connacht is my vassal).

I have figured out how to explore unknown sea regions, but I can't figure out how to reveal unknown land.
