Pioneers of Pagonia is a deep city-building strategy game featuring Volker Wertich and Envision Entertainment’s signature “Wuselfaktor” (roughly translated means “the hustle and bustle factor”), allowing players to build and manage a thriving community of thousands of detailed inhabitants. With a deep economic system, advanced infrastructure mechanics, exploration, and lovingly designed visuals, players can enjoy building and trading in a fantastical medieval world.

Pagonia is made up of countless islands full of scattered villages, a bountiful supply of resources, and enticing secrets. Become a visionary and forge alliances with the various factions. Manage Pagonia’s economy, road network, and branching production chains. Send out pioneers to discover untouched soil and expand the population’s reach. Protect the population with patrolling guards, specialized fighters, and different mysticists from hostile animals, plundering bandits and mythical creatures. Can you unify the islands of Pagonia?

Pioneers of Pagonia features:
  • A deep economic system with over 40 buildings and 70 wares, including unique units such as the haven
  • Deep infrastructure mechanics including building roads, store hubs, and organizing long-distance transportation
  • A fabulous medieval game world that differs from many contemporaries
  • An emphasis on unification rather than war, which leads to unique endgame goals
  • Procedurally generated maps, allowing for endless gameplay opportunities
The development of Pioneers of Pagonia was financially supported by the German games fund grant by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection.
