well since i looked at the wrong map i guess.. im a day behind and cant do anything .. other than .. move out of city.. anything else i can do or am i stuck waiting now until tomorrow?
Well, you could use the action Bind Stone of Return. It's useful when you want to return to home fast.
that doesnt really help me ? i was at home already.. used my submit action to move to one actually valid.. so now i have to wait till tomorrow to do all of todays stuff? and is it possible to put the map somewhere static? like the main WOE area so I or others dont do same mistake of looking at the wrong map.
How is it possible to look at the wrong map btw?

The correct map is included in this same topic and it can also be found in that main spreadsheet. Which wrong map did you look at?

not even sure where i found it but i tried to go to hex 73.. which at one point was just southeast of the darkness city. now its above aether.. and where is this main spreadsheet? I got to it once and cant find it now.
Click the map image on this topic.


What happens if two allies attempt to capture the same hex? First come first serve? Do both get credit for doing it? (Specifically in regards to the first quest.)
First come first serve. It's kind of lame but generally it doesn't even matter who captures the hex because there are no immediate rewards for the person who does it. This quest makes it a bit different though, and teams with good coordination will avoid wasting time.

I submitted my actions a few minutes ago. They were meant for day 1, and I didn't know day 2 has started. Will the actions be counted for day 2?

As far as I know, it doesn't really matter what actions you submit on what day.
The actions you submitted will be processed the day afterwards, it does look like you wasted 4 AP but not doing anything on day 1 though!

Actions are actions regardless of when you submit them. There are no real Day 1 and Day 2 actions, there are only actions you perform during that day.

The "Expand Borders" quest doesn't work very well for Underworld. It doesn't fit thematically, since Underworld doesn't seem to really have/care about borders. From a practical point of view, we have to journey much further to find an appropriate hex, and since we can't just claim a neutral territory, we have to offend another nation right off by taking one of their hexes (not great for a nation trying to act as neutral mercenary types).
Perhaps underworld could have a different quest in it's place? Something like "trade cards with another player" or something else similarly fitting with Underworld's themes of neutral mercenaries and traders.

It's not a big deal if we can't of course. But it would be nice.

EDIT: Just noticed your reply in the Day 1 topic. I still think it'd be nice if the supposedly mercenary UW didn't have to offend a potential employer just to complete a basic quest, but at least the +1xp is a good acknowledgement of the extra difficulty.

The goal of Underworld is to maintain a sense of chaos by preventing any of the elements from taking too much control over the lands. UW players are also more powerful in neutral hexes because of how their Mark of Underworld works. This is why neutralizing hexes is something UW players should do because it benefits them. They can of course choose not to do that and do something else instead. "Expand Borders" quest is not compulsory and can be dropped at any times. But if they do the quest at some point, they will also gain that +1XP for it, seeing it's more difficult for them then to other teams.

Fair enough. So UW is less about neutrality and more about Anarchy.

Yes.

When you submit actions during a Day, those actions will be processed during that same Day.

Would the most beneficial move be to go back to town?  For the quest of expanding our territory, will we need to make sure it happens (updates on the map) and then turn in the quest in-town before we update for the XP and hit the 'complete quest' button? Will this then chain into a new quest?

I of course have other plans (insert evil genius laugh here) but I want to know what your plans are for the next day's tutorial so I don't lag behind.
