com/app/5070310/Pioneers_of_ Pagonia__Echoes_of_Aldramar/ The new story campaign, featuring four maps, immerses players in the history of Aldramar and lets them uncover the legacy of this lost civilization step by step. The focus is on the island’s monumental structures, which gradually reveal the history of Aldramar’s past. Marble, a new and precious resource, is now available for reconstruction; it is mined in the Master Quarry and used to restore the monuments. At the same time, the new desert landscape presents new challenges for the pioneers: Dunes and quicksand dominate the landscape, water is scarce, fertile land is rare, and some paths are initially inaccessible. Meanwhile, stranded Pagonian adventurers are in need of assistance.
As if that weren’t enough, the ancient structures are guarded by colossal stone warriors that have run amok. Players can face these mighty guardians in battle or use clever planning to evade their patrols. Mysterious obelisks can be activated using magical keystones, gradually bringing the landscape back to life, while altars grant additional reinforcements. With the “Out-of-Territory Construction” feature, the expedition camp and new expedition builders also allow players to build or restore pre-placed structures including monuments and statues outside their own territory. To successfully rebuild the island, players must use resources carefully, plan their infrastructure with foresight, and adapt their strategy to the changing landscape.
Key Features of Pioneers of Pagonia – Echoes of Aldramar:
- New story campaign with four maps
- All new gameplay features are also playable on custom maps

Regular buildings from the player’s technology tree can still only be placed and built within your own territory.
