- World Map Update, Part 1! - 1 March 2026
Whew, finally! The first part of my planned multi-part update for the World Map / Multiple Settlement system. I did my best to playtest it as much as I could but let me know on the discord or on the Steam discussions if you find any bugs or issues, or have any suggestions!Updating the game to support multiple settlement really opened up the game to new avenues; for the next few updates, I will focus on fixing any bugs, solidifying existing systems (specially guest / tavern gameplay, combat and magic) and adding one or two more biomes. This was such a huge update on the backend that I just want to focus on existing features after this until everything catches up.Anyway, new features!Coastal start. Your colonial kingdom now starts on a coastal area. Ships, docks, wharves. You can now build docks and wharves; docks will let ships land on your settlement, wharves will let you build over the…
- Upcoming Major Update: World Map & Multiple Settlements! - 18 December 2025
The World Map Update is Almost Here!After a lot of late nights and early mornings, the World Map update is nearing release, and it’s the biggest expansion to Outland Kingdoms yet. It fundamentally changes the scope of the game, evolving it from a single-colony sim into a true kingdom-spanning RPG-strategy game. What’s coming in the World Map update: Games now begin with your chosen dynasty and retainers landing on a coast. This first settlement becomes your capital - a living port city that grows with your kingdom. Build a Coastal Capital. Construct docks, inns, taverns, and trading districts to attract visitors, settlers, and commerce from beyond your shores. Expand Beyond a Single Settlement. As your capital gains prestige and population, citizens will propose new regions for expansion. Each new map comes with unique advantages and challenges, supplying your growing capital and kingdo…

- Update 0.165a: Swamp Biome! Bug fixes, performance optimizations - 25 September 2025
Hey all, I've been trying to finish the Cultist update to go along with the Swamp biome but there's some bug fixes I wanted to push out asap so I'm just releasing the swamp biome separately. The Cultist Faction is coming along nicely, more on that below after update notes: New Features: - Swamp Biome! In this damp, dark environment, food spoils faster, but you can plant all year round. Diseases are a bit more of a problem here. - New tameable animals: Hippos and Water Buffalos - There's more but I can't really remember right now cause I'm too sleepy trying to push this update out as fast as I could Bug fixes: - There was a bad one where a colonist death would upset a whole town too much - Some translation errors Performance Optimizations! Anyway, the Cultist faction serves the Dormant God, Arkhan. They are led by Lich-Priests, who can animate the dead and recharge them with their mana.…
