a few expeditions im sending. #1: Launches from Port Rome, slightly east of the Rome city proper, and heads on a course of ~265 degrees, with 105 men, 3 ships (2light-draft trading ships, oar & sail equipped, 1 Man o'war, sail and oar equipped), and fishing equipment plus 1 ton of fruit for scurvy protection, they will head 3,000 miles, following a curving pathe (a sine wave basically) and then return to harbor, one ship will turn back at 1500 miles, and head for Athenia. 60 CCRP day expedition (there and back) could be improved by fair winds and oar usage. Ships are mid-weighted, they have a decent amount of weight to stabilize them in stormy weather. If land is found, 100 soldiers are dispatched. #2. Leaves from Athenia, proceeds at about 240 degrees to the SW, 4000 mile journey, same ships and equipment as #1, blah blah, heads back if land found, 120 day expedition #3. Leaves from Smalltown, makes a stop off merion to anchor and trade, before heading south-ish another 1000 miles, joins up with #2 after reaching 1k miles and proceeds east then north, recrewing in Port Rome after leg 1 (to the south, then West, then northeast), and heads north past Herbana for 3000 miles of the top of Initia. 360 CCRP day mission, stops at 102 days in Port Rome. Same ship types as 1 and 2. #4 - launches off of #3 and joins Kalonip Industries' one to the west, it consists of a small fishing crew to aid them with food
