Your Economic Council has a new Maritime Trade House (MTH) Liaisons Task that can generate MTH Stratagems. There are also some new Fate Stratagems and the potentially powerful “Resource Rumors” Stratagem your Secret Service Council can produce.

Oceania DLC will release the 30th of march

Today I commented on dear streamer and emperor Edmund playing Shadow Empire with the Oceania DLC enabled. Watch it over here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1770586954

We barely scratched the surface, but it should give you some insights on the arrival of Ocean Planets and logistics, Pirates, Sea Monsters, Stocktrading, Martime Trade Houses and loads more!

Also a link to its Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2183640/Shadow_Empire_Oceania/

Best wishes,

Vic

So let’s keep this going… Interface Improvements you said? right?

A big thanks for the previous poll participation. I am happy with the participation rate and all the further comments given on the various forum threads.

The winning answer in the Possible DLC Poll was quite a surprise… I would have thought majority would have preferred post-apocalyptic low tech mayhem above more trade & politics :) But I am taking note of this. And heck… one does not exclude the other, right?

The winning answers in the Improvements Poll do however require some clarification to make sure I understand this direction well. So “interface improvements” and “AI quality” got to the top of the request list with approx 20% and 15% of the vote. Especially “interface improvements” is a bit vaguely formulated so I am posting a follow-up poll here with as many aspects of the UI/UX I could think of, among which you can choose up to 2 answers that need the most work in your opinion.

So exactly which interface improvements would be most welcome (up to 2 answers allowed)?

Happy Christmas everybody!

I wanted to give a big thanks to all players, testers and streamers. It is you that keeps me motivated. Not sure what your new year resolutions are, but mine is that I should find the time to make some more regular public updates, especially on Shadow Empire.

I have been working hard since summer and January 2023 should see the official release of 1.12. If you are already on the open beta that won’t change anything for you, but if you are still on 1.11 it will make a world of difference.

Max a few months later the Oceania DLC should follow up the 1.12 official release. I have been happy to see that most people understand why I am doing a paid DLC. Yes, it is to make continued development of Shadow Empire economically viable. Note that I am putting a lot of effort into improving the Core game as well.

I hope the DLC will do well as I have so many ideas on the shelf to follow up with. Please help me get a rough idea about what you’d like to see in the Shadow Empire future and answer the two questions below.

I would prefer a possible 2nd DLC to be focussed on

What would be the most important improvement you want to see in the core game?
