In Six Ages, is exploring worth it?

Solution 1:

According to the wiki, there are some benefits for exploring

Exploring lets you learn about new lands, filling in the map. But you can explore anywhere - it's quite possible to find something new in a place you've been to before. This even goes for your own clan lands.

A side benefit of exploring is that it can make the valley safer. If you don't explore, the threat of bandits or monsters can increase.

Another benefit is that you can let other clans know what you've discovered. This requires a dedicated venture, but will increasey your standing, and the other clans may reveal knowledge of their own in return.

While exploring, you may also experience certain events.
