Pioneers will be a turn-based game with RPG elements. It's a game where you start by assembling your exploration party with men with different abilities and skills. Every man counts and every skill counts. You need someone who's good with weapons and hunting, someone who is good with carpentry, someone who can draw maps, someone who could easily learn native languages and so on. Once that's done, you put them on a ship and head for some unknown land.
Creating a new explorer. This is the town where you start your game and where you can go back between expeditions. There you hire men from the tavern, buy supplies from the supply store (not drawn yet), get quests and whatnot.
