Hey everyone !
We hope you’re ready to sail to new shores, because today we are releasing the Bonny Update and the Cultures of Oceania DLC! What treasures can you expect to find in these?
Let’s start with a quick summary of the changes and additions in the Bonny Update:
Reworked Resources: Deposits yield more than one copy, but only a single copy is needed to begin any construction
Reworked Trade: Resources are now transported to your capital on internal trade routes, while international routes connect capitals
Poaching: Use your armies to steal resources from enemy trade routes
Rebalanced Naval Combat: Stronger and faster ships with new abilities
Caribbean Pirates Culture: Yarrrrr!
