Beta Disclaimer
Please be aware that this is a Beta version for the game and the Pagonia Editor.
We expect the game to leave beta in the usual time frame. Depending on your feedback about the editor and maps that are created with it, we may keep this part of the release in beta for a longer time or release it together with the other parts of the update.
The Map Packages are created by the community, so until the first community maps appear, only a few example test maps from Envision are available. The goal of those maps is to fill the initial selection, they are not balanced and tested.
Please keep in mind that the Pagonia Editor is our in-house tool for creating maps. Therefore, it comes with some technical challenges. Additionally, the Editor has higher hardware requirements than the game itself. In this Beta version you might encounter some performance issues or bugs.
Overall, this is a tool for people who do not shy away when things get technical. But we're confident, that you'll get the hang of it in no time. :)

Detailed Patch Notes
Tutorial Map Beta Version
- New version of the new Tutorial map is available now, we are looking forward to your feedback!
Gameplay
- Supply locations can now be supplied by the Trading Post, too.[list]
- Until now, supply locations had to be in the player territory and connected to a road to be supplied by Carriers. Now, deliveries can be done to supply locations outside player territory by using Trade Carriers.
- As soon as a supply location is discovered, the Trading Post interface will offer an option to supply it with the requested commodities.
- If the supply location is inside player territory, it can be supplied simultaneously both by carriers using roads and by trade carriers starting at trading posts.
[*]Woodcutter: add clear forest option
- The button to preserve the forest has been visually modified. As before, it is enabled by default and will ensure that Woodcutters only cut large trees to preserve the forest since fully-grown trees initiate new saplings. If disabled, trees of any size will be cut. The default setting can be modified in the options.
- A new button allows to order the Woodcutters to focus on cutting all trees without collecting any trunks or wood.
[*]Hunter: add kill boars option
- A new button allows to order Hunters of a Hunting Lodge to focus on hunting wild boars without collecting any meat or leather.
[*]Baneroots will now reveal themselves if they are still in unexplored areas and attack player units. This ensures that player units can target them, too.
[*]Scav bases will now be destroyed if the leftover Scav units are far away.[/list]
