==== What is a New Region Badge? ====

  * 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 
  * Warning - this takes a while -> [[https://www.badge-r-s.de/suggestRegions2.php|New Region Badge Priorities]]
    * Some hints how to get it done are here [[rules:faq#qwhen_does_my_ruler_mapper_badge_appear|FAQ "When_does_My_Ruler/Mapper_Badge_Appear"]]

==== What is the crowdsourcing initiative? ====

  * If the region you are waiting for is not <color #22b14c>**green**</color>, 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.

==== How can I provide an image? ====
