[p]Hi everyone, in a few days I'll throw the switch on the Behemoth Update. A free expansion to Bulwark that will likely be this year's biggest free expansion. I am just waiting on some voice recordings and doing some last minute closed beta testing.
(If you want some BETA access, join the discord https://discord.com/invite/falconeer). [/p]
Get the game on Autumn Sale discount and get new content!
[p]Off-course the game will be on a big discount starting with the Autumn Sale, so take this opportunity to support the game by buying some of the small supporting DLC. Because that's how all of this free content is being powered. Small DLC sales allow me to keep on working on Bulwark and other games.[/p]
Feature Breakdown
[p]1. Upgradable surveyors
The previously rather simple faction mechanics have gotten a feature boost, you now buy your upgraded faction surveyor from them. And once you have acquired a new type of surveyor they also offer a single tiered upgrade. This isn't just stats and more guns, it's a visual upgrade as well.

2. Behemoth Surveyor
The Behemoth is a new Surveyor/Flagship that's well..... a bit of a chunky boy.
It comes back with a naval cannon and several large guns. Besides a plethora of point defences and hitpoints to match. It's going to be OP AF, but this is what quite a few where asking for. But it's gonna cost a good coin to acquire it. Also the entire surveyor crash system has been revamped, if you lose your faction surveyor or Behemoth its gone forever and you revert to the tiny vanilla surveyor and you'll have to re-buy at the mechanic or Master of ammunitions.

3. Entagon Subterfuge Events (and clocks on the Ursee)
Someone here on the forums once expressed that they found the late game conquest grind a bit tedious and were looking for a way to acquire those last few settlements easier, thus the Entagon Subterfuge events were born. This sneaky secret society (retconned into the Falconeer Remaster btw) are going to be available and they unlock a new series of espionage and disruptive events. Such as acquiring commanders of a hostile faction (and pacified to boot) or acquiring an entire settlement outright or disrupting defenses.

Take note that I finally fixed the lore absence of accurate timekeeping with the Entagon HQs, tho this isn't a 60m/24h clock.. It's nice and odd.
4.TREES
You will find Arbology towers smattered across the Ursee, Freebooter experiments that you can use to add greenery to your settlements. There is again a nice bit of integrated backstory to these that will I will retro-actively am also adding into the Falconeer Remaster coming later this year.. It also ads that extra bit of tragic backstory to the Lost cave-dwelling tribes and how they were victimized in the Falconeer but always had a key to the future as well. Also trees look nice ;)

5. Curved Wall segments.[/p][p]Well every free update has brought new architecture options and the curved stone segments already existed but they had no GUI implementation and were un-found by most players, so there are now curved sections for every tier of walkway/wall and they are visually foreshadowed in the interface.

And don't worry, this might be the biggest free expansion this year, but I am already planning something else for Bulwark, something big but in the early stages that will be announced later this year. But of such a scale that its pushing out other free expansions for the year.
[/p][p]Also as always small DLC keeps my work afloat and every user review for the game helps me survive.
Follow me as a developer on steam is also a great support :[/p][p]https://store.steampowered.com/developer/TomasSala
Cheers and hope this one drops well in a few days.
Don't forget , the game is gonna be on discount so don't buy it yet.,
