Pioneers of Pagonia – Magic Update

To make it easier and quicker for new players to familiarize themselves with the world of Pagonia, the Magic Update massively improves the first steps into the game. Newcomers will be informed about how to play the game and important game mechanics through short video sequences while they build their first settlements. Some of these introductory video clips will already be available in September as part of a Quality-of-Life update.

New enemies, the "Cursed," are emerging in Pagonia and are corrupting and abusing nature for their own purposes. Only units with knowledge of magic can remove the curses and thus prevent the "Cursed" from successfully performing their rituals and threatening waves of attacks invading via their portals. But warlocks and sorceresses need special weapons and equipment to oppose the "Cursed." New resources, building types, units, and production chains are available, which must be used strategically and skillfully. This opens a further tactical component that provides even more excitement, especially for strategy experts.

The Magic Update also introduces a particularly interesting explorer unit: The treasure hunter can discover hidden riches, secret arsenals, and lost artifacts in the world of Pagonia. There are also secret treasure maps, which must first be found or acquired through bartering. The male treasure hunter is voiced by the German strategy expert Maurice Weber, while American streamer and presenter Ovilee May lends her voice to the female treasure hunter. Players can also use the menu to select their favorites for specific units – including American internet star SodaPoppin and German content creators Gronkh and Hand of Blood.
