explored most of the world map

[tm0Lif3]

i'm just level 10 but i've explored most of the world map. level cap is 20 right? i'm on ancient curse part 3 and next development is 226 days.

am i missing something? or i should actually skip days in the kingdom management?

are there more areas to explore? or areas will only be revealed if i progress with the curse?

Did you do Season of the Bloom? If yes only 1/3 to 2/5 of map is accesible.
Next chapter(Varnhold) takes you east.(cca 2/3 to 4/5 of the map unlocked).

You should build your kingdom (do rank up advisors/claim regions/rank up kingdom stats).
If you are using mod or set it to auto-kingdom, and will not do any kingdom managment then yes you will need to skip around 212 days (2 weeks before time limit).

i done season of the bloom. i thought varnhold is DLC. does it adds any level? but i read it seems like a separate story on its own.

Usually, if you have that much free time that early in the game then you are using a fast travel or kingdom management cheat that has dramatically sliced the amount of time it takes to rank-up your kingdom attributes and/or move around the map. If this is what's happening to you, then disabling those mod(s) will take care of your issue.

Or perhaps you're just a really good player and you are capable of clearing things faster than most. If that is the case, then you should make sure you've done whatever artisan quests are available so far and just do kingdom management/pass time for a while.

Regarding Varnhold - a chapter of the main storyline takes place there, the DLC simply provides added context for why.

Wildcard only adds to main game, companion, tiefling race and kinecist class.
Varnhold's Lot is separate story, create new character starts at level 4 I think, then import save to main game, to get resolution to DLC.
Beneath the Stolen Land adds dungeon(= more EXP) to main game, plus separate mode, both have same story content.
You should end with 17-20 level characters.
Spoiler of name of "Chapter names - quick explanation"
chapter 4: The Varnhold Vanishing - Varnhold people captured by necromancer
chapter 5: The Twice-Born Warlord - Barbarian's attack

"hidden" chapter 8: The Cursed King/Queen - The Lanter King pulls your kingdom into First World

no mods installed. yeah most battle was kinda boring now. but i'm just on normal. chapter quests like the troll (once figure out it was easy) and season of bloom still gave me some challenge. but i'd passed that.
