so i just batch explored for 100 turns. my APT was 15 and i purchased the 20% APT for 10 turns bonus it brought it to 18 APT. when i explored for 100 turns i made 1859 acres. not sure if thats something to do with the bonus or not but its pretty awesome either way.

thats exactly the way the bonus is supposed to work...?

He's saying the bonus lasted for 100 turns instead of just 10.

yea. tried it in my FFA countries and it worked there as well.

yep that's batch exploring...works for explore bonus and building cost bonus

This is a feature, not a bug :)
