If you conquer either the ruler or mapper of a region, you can receive a region badge.

For this to occur, first the region must be unlocked.

You can find out when this will occur by checking the New Region Badge Priorities

If the region you are waiting for is not green, it means no image was provided yet.

Only regions which are green and have a positive priority will unlock.

Did you know if an image is provided, and accepted, that the priority score is boosted by 0.25?

This means you get higher on the list, and unlock faster, and even that you can turn a negative score into a positive score.

Therefore you first have to → Prepare an Image

Once you prepared an image, you can → Upload an Image
