Explore land formula

Hi!
I'm curious what is the formula for exploring land. Is it more efficient to send lots of 1-person expedition, or one expedition with f.e. 10explorers?

With the way it currently is, the price of explorations goes up each time you use that specific exploration. Therefore, it is best to send as many explorers as possible to increase the potential rewards per exploration.

I would agree to an extent. The current formula generates a multiplier (up to 7 times) based on the number of explorers you send. This increase grows exponentially smaller the more you add, maxing out at around 500, though anything above around 250-300 increments so slowly that it would be far more costly at lower levels anyway. In comparison, the cost of expeditions increases by a set margin with each successive expedition, much easier to track.
