Three New Water Lairs

The seas are alive with adventure! In Scourge of the Seas, we’re introducing three brand-new water lairs that will take your exploration to the next level.

Reef Island:

This submerged paradise hides untold treasures beneath the waves. But be prepared to face formidable challenges, as new enemies lurk in the coral-covered caverns. The unique design of Reef Island offers an entirely fresh combat experience, setting the stage for epic battles.

Wind Caves:

These mysterious underwater grottos are shrouded in secrets. As you venture into the Wind Caves, you’ll encounter formidable foes and discover hidden riches. The intricacies of the Wind Caves provide a unique combat challenge that will test your strategic prowess.

Pirate Scum:

With these new water lairs, the seas won’t just be a tranquil expanse. The pirate scum will be unleashed upon both the seas and the lands, creating chaos for the Wizards. Brace yourself for thrilling confrontations and unexpected encounters with these maritime marauders.

Terrifying Boss Lairs:

As if the new water lairs weren’t enough, the oceans themselves spawn two terrifying boss lairs, one on each plane. Each boss lair is a treasure trove of loot, a custom-made battle map with unique combat challenges, and a monstrous Kraken boss! Defeating these titans of the deep will reward you with a unique Wizard Trait that can’t be obtained anywhere else.

Water Resources

The seas aren’t just for adventuring; they also offer valuable resources to shore up your cities such as:

Pearls: Precious and lustrous, pearls can be harvested from the depths of the sea to enhance your cities with their beauty and economic benefits.

Reef: These underwater ecosystems are a source of great wealth and biodiversity. Harvesting reef resources will give your shoreline cities a significant boost.

Fish: Abundant and nutritious, fish can be a vital resource for sustaining your cities. With the bountiful waters at your disposal, your coastal cities will flourish.

New Arcane Spell

To make the most of these newfound sea resources, a powerful Arcane spell will be at your disposal. This spell allows Wizards to harvest sea resources that fall outside of the city catchment, ensuring that nothing goes to waste in your coastal dominion.

We hope you’re as excited as we are about the sea’s new role in Master of Magic: Scourge of the Seas. Stay tuned for more insights and updates on the development of the game in our upcoming entries.
