Adventure suggestion
As you research Adventure technologies, the different quests/locations should be harder to obtain. I can see level 0 stuff just lying around, but by the time you get to level 3 quests/locations these should be protected by magical creatures. As it currently stands I can still walk around an find pouches of gold with 200 or more gildar just lying around for the taking IF I’ve researched high enough. These treasures should all be guarded.

This is the same in the latest 1.19 beta version. I certainly hope to see some changes to this adding more LORE once 1.2 is released.
