This page contains the order of the path one should take in order to avoid the "CE blocking quests" when attempting to obtain advance units in PME. The exploration of the CE, TE and first Province of the FE Campaign Map was completed while in InA or after Aging Up to PME on a different world. In both scenarios the PME Story Quest "The End of This Chapter" Story Quest was NOT completed.
Every Province/Sector was acquired by Combat (one exception noted below), thus will be VERY challenging in the Industrial Age (InA) unless you were able to receive the PME MG Units.
Upon completion of each Age's Campaign Map, your maps should look like the linked ones.
Exploration Path
Note: It is critical that you DO NOT Scout Salfah to the northwest. Work around this Province by Scouting Al-Shadrya to the northeast instead.
Note: It is critical that you DO NOT Scout Suqqah to the west. Continue north and Scout Shayhour.
Take that sleek, ship thingee to the next region of the map.
Exploration Path
Note 1: When this Province is acquired, it will open an abortable Side Quest called Crazy Comandante. Complete or abort it (it gives 22 Smart Materials).
Note 2: Conquering all Sectors of this Province will provide TE troops later (2 Anti-Materiel Snipers and 2 Ultra AP).
Note: It is critical that you DO NOT Scout Villabaja and Bajatai to the south, continue north and Scout Villariba instead.
Note 1: When this Province is acquired, it will open an abortable Side Quest called Gadgeteer. Complete or abort it.
Note 2: It is critical that you DO NOT Scout Sierra Torrido to the west, continue north and Scout Santa Nerea instead.
Note: When this Provice is Scouted, a Side Quest will open called Media Control. This gives a Surveillance Nexus (TE Cultural Building). Do it - it's simple and you may need it for a future quest (unknown at the time of this writing).
Note: This Province is very tough to acquire. At Combat Boosts of 370/390 (InA City with MG Units) it was challenging but was able to conquer. On another world (PME City with PME units) it was completely undoable at 330/270, thus some Sectors were simply negotiated.
Take the futuristic, hovery carrier to the next region of the map.
Exploration Path
Do not explore the CMAP any further and you may now complete the PME "The End of This Chapter" Story Quest.
