Introduction “Pioneers of Pagonia” has already established itself as an outstanding building game, but with the latest update it takes the gaming experience to a whole new level. Developed by Volker Wertich, the creator of the legendary “The Settlers”, the game expands its functions with exciting mining features. The game has now been released onsteam. In this article, we take a look at the exciting new features and the benefits they bring for players.
Underground adventures and new resources
Gold and Nickel – The New Treasures: The mining update introduces players to the fascinating world of underground mining. Here, valuable resources such as gold and nickel are waiting to be discovered. These new materials not only expand the economic possibilities, but also the strategic options for building and expanding your settlements. Gold, which has always been a symbol of wealth and power, opens up new trade routes and makes your settlement more attractive to traders. Nickel, on the other hand, an important metal for advanced technologies, enables the production of new, powerful tools and weapons.
The geologist – your new best friend: Another highlight of the update is the introduction of the geologist, a new unit that is strongly reminiscent of the classic “The Settlers” games. Equipped with travel rations and an unwavering spirit of discovery, the Geologist sets out to uncover hidden treasures beneath the earth. With his cry of “Yippie”, he signals the successful discovery of valuable resources. The geologist’s hut serves as the base for these expeditions and is the starting point for the underground expansion.
New challenges and improvements
The Scavs – A new threat: With the mining update, the Scavs also enter the stage, a new enemy faction that can make life difficult for your settlers. These invaders suddenly land on your island and try to take your land. Players must therefore not only think economically and strategically, but also react militarily. Destroying the Scav bases in time is crucial to maintaining peace and progress in your settlement
New units and improved game mechanics: To meet the new challenges, players now also have two new elite units at their disposal. These are the Blade Dancer and Elite Soldier. You can recruit these fighters in the Adventurers’ Guild. They are ideally suited for going into battle against the Scavs. The update has also brought numerous visual and functional improvements. Rivers and stone plateaus on the pre-made maps now look even more realistic. The tracking of resource consumption in taverns and dwellings has also been improved. In addition, various causes of crashes have been fixed, which increases the stability of the game.
