Edge of the World content preview update
Hi everyone,
About time to update you all with some more visuals from the coming update, so sit back and enjoy some new stuff. The Edge of the World update is also slated to come to steam mid february ;).
[h3] Please support the game's visibility:[/h3]
Before I continue, let me also impress how much any user review is appreciated, even critical ones, they are there to learn from, but also they influence the steam algorithm and the amount itself is critical to the survival of the game. As you can see the review numbers are still modest in this genre and hitting 1000 user reviews in the first year is definitely one of the biggest goals for any game to reach. Every review is appreciated beyond believe and powers me on to keep adding more to this game and universe, thank you.[h3]On with the Important stuff!:[/h3]
Here's a video look off that new Bannnerless building, the "Leviathan's Toothache" as it's now called.
this one is going to get a little refurbish likely as it will match some new enemy units that I've just finished.

[h3]New Enemies[/h3]
Here' are those new enemy units I'm adding as a Bannerless clan. They represent the most criminal and least constrained Bannerless Clan and also will be the ones raiding your traderoutes. More like actual Pirates. There's what basically amounts to a missile frigate called the "Verne" and a smaller fast airship called a "piranha"
[h3]Squidbelly Mercenary Market[/h3]
There is also a new location on the Ursee called the "Squidbelly Mercenary Market" these are dotted across the map and aren't for acquisition rather they are neutral locations where you can buy units directly, These units are attached to your escort fleet only and serve as an early game source of units for splinters.
This new green stone style architecture is a really new discovery for me, quite into it. It has a whiff of freebooter to it which is exciting for various reasons.

The market sells some basic units, that freehouse capital ship of the last blogpost but also it sells some Freebooter units previously only sparesly seen in random encounters (if at all).
Here's the default list of units it will sell. You can also get rid of your existing units at the market, a much requested feature.
- Freehouse Warbird
- Freehouse Wrekker Capital Ship
- Freebooter Mantaraider
- Freebooter Murenal
[h3]Another new unique building that raises population cap[/h3]
The Imperial Admiralty is somewhat less dramatic than the other two new buildings I showed off last time, as someone on the forums mentioned. This actually gave me the kick under the ass to finally do what needed to be done. Make Shard proud of its historical legacy and make it more unique. Befitting its important role in the War of the Tree. Thus the Borgia Gallery was borne, a hub of spycraft and a memorial to their most illustrious spymaster (play the Falconeer to understand that ;). It also got some much needed fortifications making it a much tougher nut to crack.
Finally here's a little preview vid of the new units in action above "Leviathan's Toothache" .

[h3]Thank you all![/h3]
And thanks everyone for the maintained support, I know this game and myself are doing things differently and experimentally sometimes, but the fact so many of you let me know you are enjoying all this work really helps me keep going. This industry isn't kind to things that go off the beaten path and the fact that I'm still here making this games fairly on the outside of things is a testament to Steam and the gamers therein like yourself.
And don't forget to leave a recommendation, it's literally survival out here.
Cheers,
Tomas
