Greetings Directors,
Allow us to introduce the third Content Update for The Pegasus Expedition, The Height of The Empire! In this new scenario, the Tamanin Empire stays unified against you, unlike in the main narrative campaign where it experiences a civil war and splinters into several smaller factions. You will have to face fierce opposition from them and be thrust into war immediately!
That's not all however, we have introduced a plethora of new features and changes based on your feedback. Among the highlights are an overhaul to the story consequences system, giving you a much clearer idea of how your choices impact the campaign; a brand new Veterancy system, which will make sure your units will improve their performance when they survive through many battles; a new governing tool, the Edicts, which will give you additional control over the happiness of your subjects and a new devastating option has been added to your arsenal, you can now use Thermonuclear weapons to turn the tide of battle, but incur a massive reputation penalty.
But there's more, check out the full list of changes below and don't forget to let us know what you think in the Steam discussions or ask the developers directly on their Discord server. And please, if you like the game, consider reviewing it here on Steam.
