Future Era Continent Map Overview

Below you will find my recommended scout order + which order I recommend taking provinces. Future Era Map Overview

This map has a few more restrictions than the last ones, so let me go through them in order. First of all, the yellow numbers indicate scouting order, the blue/pink/red numbers in the center of provinces indicate the order I recommend you take provinces. I will be using both the province names and these blue/pink/red numbers to refer to provinces.

It is important that you negotiate all sectors of Agadar (1). If you fight any of these sectors, you will lose out on 3 Hover Tanks. From now on (except Fort Buntu (12)), you can decide if you want to Fight and/or Negotiate. I fought all of these, so if you negotiate you will get slightly different quests here and there, but the units you get are the same.

After negotiating all Agadar (1) sectors, you should scout Omogba (2). When that province is scouted you should start scouting Esan-Ewu (4), and then acquire Omogba (2). When Esan-Ewu (4) is scouted you should not take any sectors yet, instead start scouting Owopele (3). When that is done take all sectors of Owopele (3) and start scouting Jak (5). You will then get a story quest to acquire Esan-Ewu (4), it is now ok to take this entire province. This order of taking province 2, 3 and 4 might not be strictly necessary, but according to a commenter on the fandom wiki the quest to acquire Esan-Ewu (4) is skipped if you take it before Owopele (3), and you don't want to skip this quest as it gives you 100 Purified Water. Taking Esan-Ewu (4) before Owopele (3) is not quicker, so I wouldn't risk it :)

Now it's straight sailing until Kolaburg (7). When you get to Kolaburg (7), it is important to not take all sectors until the quest "Down the Rabbit Hole" is triggered. If you take all sectors before this you will have to research 1 more technology.

The next important part is after acquiring Botuku (9). You should now scout Bisoraba (10) and then Kalabuye (11), without taking any sectors in either. When you have scouted both and completed the story quest to scout both, you should acquire sectors of Bisoraba (10) as asked to by quests. DO NOT take any sectors of Kalabuye (11) until you have gotten all 4 Hover Tanks. You will get all 4 from Bisoraba (10) quests, so when you have taken that you can take all Kalabuye (11) sectors and start scouting Fort Buntu (12).

For the final province, Fort Buntu (12), you want to fight sectors until you get 2 Rail Gun and 2 Satellite Spotters. After that you can fight and/or negotiate as you wish. The first Fort Buntu quest asks you to infiltrate some of its sectors. I completed this by taking all the sectors, but I would not recommend that you do so. By doing it I appeared at first to skip the quests that give units, but I did eventually get those as well, in a different order than expected. This would probably be the case for you as well, but to play it safe I would just infiltrate sectors when asked to, you should have enough coins by now. Especially if you plan to go for Turturrets, you don't want to miss out on the 2 Rail Gun. I was terried I had messed it up and couldn't get them, you don't need that kind of stress in your life, so just infiltrate the damn sectors!

It's now onto the Arctic Future!

Future Era Story Quests

Below you'll find a list of all the FE story quests in the order you get them if you follow my suggested path on the continent map. I will also be using the blue/pink/red province numbers in this section.

1) Here we go, the first FE Story Quest! You will get this by reaching the FE continent map.

2) Scout the first FE province, Agadar (1)!

3) Negotiate a sector of Agadar (1). It's crucial that you negotiate this and all other Agadar (1) sectors, otherwise you will lose 3 Hover Tanks.

4) Pay 500k Coins and gather 200 Goods.

5) Negotiate one more sector of Agadar (1).

6) Negotiate two more sectors of Agadar (1).

7) Negotiate the remaining sectors of Agadar (1).

8) Scout the two provinces (2,4) next to Agadar (1), in the order described in the Continent Map Overview section.

9) Fight/Nego two sectors of Omogba (2).

10) Recruit 5 current age or 9 previous age units, for example through GE/GBG/PVP, or military/special building. Gather 1M Supplies.

11) Gather 100 Goods and Pay 30 Purified Water. You either need to borrow, buy or uptrade for these goods. You will get back more Purified Water from later quests than what you have to pay, so ask a guild-mate or friend to borrow these until you can repay them later on :)

12) Spend 50 FPs and Infiltrate 5 sectors. This could be any sectors, for example lower age sectors if you saved any.

13 Fight/Nego the remaining sectors of Omogba (2).

14) Scout Owopele (3) and gather 50 Purified Water. Again, if you have a guild-mate or friend who can lend you these you could do a cycle trade with them. First they give you 50 Water in return for X, and then they post the reverse trade after so you are back to where you started.

15) Fight/Nego 2 sectors and infiltrate 3 sectors of Owopele (3), or fight/nego all sectors of Owopele (3) and the first part will auto-complete. I fought all sectors here. You can start scouting the next province, Jak (5), when you have acquired Owopele (3).

16) If you didn't do it in the last quest, fight/nego 5 sectors of Owopele (3) and pay 40 Purified Water.

17) If you haven't already, fight/nego the remaining sectors of Owopele (3), and scout the next province Jak (5).

18) Fight/Nego all sectors of Esan-Ewu (4). Do not take all sectors before getting this quest, or it might be skipped.

19) Scout the province next to Owopele (3), Jak (5).

20) Aid 40 buildings.

21) Pay 50 Purified Water.

22) Pay 50 Nanoparticles and fight/nego 2 sectors of Jak (5).

23) Build a military building from your age (you don't want to research a technology here). Placing a rogue hideout/den, drummer school, color guard camp or champion's retreat will also complete this, though by now you should have INA barracks to place.

24) Complete 20 current age or 30 previous age productions, and spend 50 FPs. If you acquire all of Jak (5) before completing this quest, you will skip the Taking Jak quest. This will give you 2 random rewards, but if you haven't prepared the production quests I would just take Jak (5) now and start scouting the next province immediately. That's what I did :) In any case, start scouting Pala (6) immediately after taking Jak (5).

25) Delete 2 current age or 3 previous age units, and fight/nego 3 sectors of Pala (6).

26) Complete 30 current age or 45 previous age productions, and gain 5k Happiness (for example by placing/deleting decorations).

27) Delete 5 current age or 8 previous age units, and fight/nego the remaining sectors of Pala (6). Start scouting Kolaburg (7), but do not start taking sectors of Kolaburg (7) before asked to by quests.

28) Build any 5 buildings from your age, for example decorations.

29) Gather 1M supplies and 800k coins.

Side Quest) This side quest should activate when you get the previous quest. You can complete or abort this as you wish.

30) Complete 40 current age or 60 previous age productions, and research any technology.

31) Scout Kolaburg (7) and spend 40 FPs.

32) Buy 5 FPs and Infiltrate 4 Kolaburg (7) sectors. Here you should infiltrate instead of completing all sectors to auto-complete this. If you acquire all sectors instead, the next quest will ask you to research another technology.

33) Fight/Nego all sectors of Kolaburg (7) and scout Bonta Town (8).

34) Fight/Nego 2 sectors of Bonta Town (8), and recruit 6 current age or 10 previous age units, for example through GE/GBG/PVP, or military/special building.

35) Not quite sure what this quest is, it's automatically completed from the previous quest xD

36) Fight/Nego 2 more sectors of Bonta Town (8).

37) Research any technology.

38) Fight/Nego the remaining sectors of Bonta Town (8). Your first FE units ... Yay! You won't be using these at all ... but nice to have I suppose :P

39) Scout the next province, Botuku (9)

Side Quest) After scouting Botuku (9), you will trigger this side quest. You can complete or abort this as you wish.

40) Fight/Nego 2 sectors of Botuku (9).

41) Fight/Nego the remaining sectors of Botuku (9), and scout the next two provinces (10, 11). You want to scout both provinces before taking any sectors in them. After you have scouted both, don't take any sectors before quests ask you to. At this time you also want to prepare 4 24-hour productions and 5 8-hour productions for the next quests.

42) Finish 4 24-hour productions for some more FE units! You probably won't be using these a lot either :P

43) Fight/Nego 2 sectors of Bisroba (10).

44) And here we are, the quest you've been working so hard for! Simply aid 50 buildings and finish the 5 8-hour productions you prepared (you did prepare them, right? :P), and the first 3 Hover Tanks are yours! This is an immediate game-changer, allowing you to easily auto-fight in GE/GBG, and even do some auto or semi-auto fighting on the continent maps!

45) Put your Hover Tanks to good use and fight 2 more Bisroba (10) sectors! You can negotiate if you want ... but why would you want to now with your Hover Tanks!

46) Build 3 current age or 6 previous age residential buildings. Most event buildings count as residential, though it should be easy enough to just build and delete some houses.

47) Fight/Nego the remaining sectors of Bisroba, fight/nego all sectors of Kalabuye (11), and scout the last province, Fort Buntu (12)!

48) Recruit 6 current age or 10 previous age units, for example through GE/GBG/PVP, or military/special building.

49) Infiltrate 6 sectors of and fight 4 sectors of Fort Buntu (12).

At this point, I decided to fight all sectors of Fort Buntu (12) to auto-complete the infiltrate part of the previous quest. As I described in the continent map overview, I would recommend infiltrating 6 sectors instead. Below I have added the quests in the order they should appear if you infiltrate 6 sectors, I got them in this order instead:

54 -> 50 -> skipped 51 -> 52 -> 53 -> 55 -> 56

50) Pay 50 Algae and 1M Coins. You probably won't be using these units now, but if you are going for Turturrets the 2 Rail Guns are really good to combat Jaegers!
