Terrain is a resource that must be created by Exploration, at the cost of platimum and draftees. The game provides some terrain, platinum and draftees at startup so the player is able to both Construct on the Terrain and Explore for more Terrain right away.

	The Terrain does not have a size, it has a unit count. The unit of Terrain is 1 "acre of barren land", and it takes 12 hours of game time to explore. There is no limit on how many acres you may explore at the same time. Once the 12 hours ~~passed~~ and the acre ~~or acres arrived~~, the explored acres are going to increase the cost per unit of the next Exploration.		The Terrain does not have a size, it has a unit count. The unit of Terrain is 1 "acre of barren land", and it takes 12 hours of game time to explore. There is no limit on how many acres you may explore at the same time. Once the 12 hours pass and the acre(s) arrive, the explored acres are going to increase the cost per unit of the next Exploration.

	To illustrate, lets assume the initial cost for exploring 1 acre is 100 platinum and 40 draftee, and at the start the game gave you 1000 platinum and 400 draftees. Your existing infrastructure is creating 100 platinum and 40 draftees every hour, so you can keep adding new Exploration.

			The platinum cost per acre is determined by total land when exploration begins:

	~~The platinum cost per acre is determined by~~		<code>0.6 * LAND^1.299 + LOW_LAND_ADJUSTMENT</code>

	<code>0.~~00045~~ * (LAND ^ 2) + (5.45 * LAND) - ~~800~~</code>		For LAND below 1520, <code>LOW_LAND_ADJUSTMENT = -0.001 * LAND^2 + 1.91 * LAND - 593</code>. At 1520 land and above, the adjustment is 0.

	~~where LAND~~ is ~~the size of the dominion when~~ exploration ~~begins~~.		The final per-acre cost is rounded after exploration-cost modifiers from race, tech, wonders, and similar effects are applied.
