Developer Notes
Pagonia Editor ⚒️
Create your first maps with the Pagonia Editor!
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. 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.
Everyone who owns the Early Access version has access to the Pagonia Editor. You can access it via this path:
Just scroll down to Pagonia Editor.exe
Please see our official Pagonia wiki for more information how to use the Editor.

Updated Halloween Maps ????
Spooky season is upon us! Not only did we manage to revive last year's Halloween Map, we also created a completely new one! For all of our advanced players, you're in for a treat! This one is not for the faint-hearted. Can you beat the challenge?
Two time-limited Halloween maps were added to the official scenario maps section:
Skull Island ☠️
Encounter a new horrific challenge for very advanced players with extra difficult settings
Spiral of the Harvest Moon ????
This time-limited map from previous year got reworked and offers an average challenge for the spooky season.
Happy Halloween, everyone, and have fun with these spooky encounters!
Campaign – Closed Beta ????️
Our team is working tirelessly on the story campaign and we are finally ready for our very first playtest! However, this one is going to be a closed beta with a very limited amount of playtesters. Also, you must own the game and we will ask you to sign a NDA before testing campaign material.

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.
[*]Some jewelry will now also boost combat strength of Warlocks and Sorcerers if stored in the Treasury.
[*] The Smelting Works workflow has been speed up, increasing the buildings efficiency and reducing the need to build as many Smelting Works as before.[/list]
