Pioneers of Pagonia – Echoes of Aldramar

Echoes of Aldramar is an expansion for Pioneers of Pagonia, the settlement building game developed by Envision Entertainment. It adds a story campaign of four maps set on the islands of Aldramar in the southern Pagonian sea, where players uncover the history of a vanished civilisation known as the Galdrar. The campaign is built around restoring monumental marble buildings in a series of successive stages, with marble mined from a new Master Quarry building and used as the construction material.

The expansion introduces a desert landscape in which sandy sediment leaves the ground barren, quicksand blocks off areas and resources, and water and fertile land are limited. Restoring the monuments and activating obelisks with key stones causes parts of the desert to revert to fertile land, altering the conditions the player’s settlement operates under. Stranded Pagonian adventurers on the islands also require assistance. A new out-of-territory construction system allows Expedition Camps and Expedition Builders to work on monuments and obelisks beyond the player’s borders, while regular settlement buildings remain restricted to owned territory.

A new enemy type, colossal stone warriors, patrols between obelisks with its own unit behaviour, and players can choose to fight them or route around their patrols. Altars serve as points of interest that provide combat boosts, and the campaign concludes with a new final boss. All of the gameplay features added by the expansion are also available on custom maps.
