Feature Roadmap - as of June 24 2021 - (Subject to Updates and Changes)

Hey All,

Thanks for the countless improvement ideas shared with us via the various channels. We previously posted about our immediate priorities but realize it might help if we shared the broader list of features we are planning to implement during EA.
There are so many facets of the game that it will take some time to gather all of them, so we will keep expanding this list. Mind that these plans might change over time. Nothing is set in stone.

Just updated this. Check it out.

Hey, HMM3 is awesome. Loved playing that game. It's a very different game though from a campaign map generation and hence controls perspective. Vagrus has a single, unchanging layout. and hence our campaign map is locked on purpose. It's oppressive. It makes one feel locked into a place, not being in control. No way to know what's in distant places. It makes journeying to new places feel uncertain and yet filled with wonder as one explores the campaign map.
That is integral to the game's design so free movement is not planned for even later.
No fast travel either for that reason. Traveling is a livelihood but a burden at the same time. The same chores every day, the crew grumbling, growing bored, then something happens. We believe that removing that, leaving in only the 'fun' parts when something happens, would be detrimental to the experience we wanted to create.
As you upgrade your comitatus and reach 20+ movement points, rolling with 5-7 nodes with each click, it speeds up significantly.
Thanks, cheers,
