In my game, I gave them the ability to build roads, outposts, and colonies.

Without pillage ability? Not much, but they are still a source of recon if your fighters are not there. There are also applications during peace.Originally posted by Aqualung71

How is a group of 1-200 people without heavy weapons going to cower the countryside's inhabitants enough to let them pillage their farms and industries?? It doesn't make sense, and I cannot believe I didn't see it years sooner. (Besides, have you EVER seen the AI even USE, much less pillage with, an explorer (Conquistador excluded))?
That however, will soon change. The main function of the explorer is to "explore" -- to seek out new civilizations, the lay of the land. If you are looking for a semi-historical feel (such as in the Rhye's of Civ mod) explorers STILL have too much movement, and is being reduced to ONE, still all terrain as roads.
... and if 6 tiles is too much in a 170x170 map, (nudge, nudge).
