It is a bad card even if it was an age 1 card. The only explorer card worse than this is probably the German explorer card.

I saw this picture and remembered about Site.
How quaint. Did you photograph and club the baby seal yourself?

I concluded that it is the best explorer card, age II or not, because it can actually help your army.

@milku3459

Who knows what is he exploring? ...and what is the native scout helping him at? :hehe:

How did you conclude it is the best explorer card? All explorer cards have a similar attack attack/hp boost plus a dog (except Spain iirc) but there are other bonuses that are better imo such as better war dogs (for spain) or a swashbuckler attack (Britain iirc) plus the fact that it is much easier for spain/russia/port to send it due to lack of age 1 cards or faster shipments.
I consider the War Dog buff virtually useless. At least from Fortress Age onwards.

I would say that it's highly unlikely to be (competitively) viable. It's not at all useless, though, and if you like sending this shipment then all the power you. After all, games are plaid to be enjoyed.

The 2 explorer card of portugese is actually pretty strong in treaty since you get 2 units with no pop space, 1000 hp and no training time. However this card is only available in age 4. Also each explorer has the crack shot ability.

The coolest explorer is without doubt the Dutch and Portuguese one.
