Pioneers of Pagonia Expands Into the Desert With Echoes of Aldramar

Pioneers of Pagonia Expands Into the Desert With Echoes of Aldramar — original editorial gaming news illustration

Envision Entertainment launches Echoes of Aldramar today, adding a full new campaign to settlement-building strategy game Pioneers of Pagonia. The expansion sends players south across the Pagonian sea to the legendary islands of Aldramar, where desert landscapes, monumental ruins and the remains of a forgotten civilisation replace the base game's greener frontiers. Four campaign maps tell the story of the lost Galdrar civilisation as players restore huge marble structures in stages and gradually reconstruct what happened to the region. New enemies and gameplay challenges accompany the unfamiliar environment, while online cooperative play remains supported. Pioneers of Pagonia comes from a team led by Volker Wertich, one of the original creators of The Settlers, and its elaborate production chains very much carry that lineage: watching hundreds of tiny citizens transport individually modelled resources remains absurdly satisfying even when you realise you have somehow created a national timber shortage because one road was badly placed. Echoes of Aldramar gives established settlements a good excuse to start fresh somewhere harsher. Civilization may have collapsed before you arrived, but don't worry — within twenty minutes you can create entirely new logistical problems.
