Topic: Foreign office visibility bonusPosted: 01 Sep 2025 at 14:32 |

After five years playing I built my first foreign office to level one.
Previously my visibility radius was 17.0 (5 base, +10 consulate level, +2 Inquisitive populace) Now it is 22.1 with the extra 5.1 stated as due to the 10% bonus a level 1 foreign office gives. I was expecting 18.7, so can anyone explain this please? There is a post by GM ThunderCat on 09OCT11 that states the radius is: ((5 + Town Consulate Level/2) + (Visibility Discoveries * 2)) What I'm hoping to achieve is not to see diplo units but extend the range where the size of NPC units is visible so I have less need to scout before sending against them.

the description in game on the building is wrong. it says +10% per level, but actually, the bonus is +30%. so, with a level 1 foreign office, you will see 17.0 * (1 + 0.3) = 22.1sq. a level 20 foreign office will get you 17.0 * (1 + 6) = 119sq

Thank you, that makes sense, and makes the building a lot more useful.
