A variety of challenging new beasts populating different parts of the wilds. Each with unique mechanics and loot.
A bigger world to explore, full of unique hidden locations throughout that offer new possibilities and rewards to the daring adventurer.
Trophies from slain beasts that can be crafted into charms, potions and other items to customize the look of your hardened mercenaries and benefit them in combat.
New contracts that have you engage in profitable beast hunting, exploration and more.
New weapons, tools, shields, and armor to equip your men with.
New paint items that can be used to paint shields and helmets in the colors of your company.
I’m so happy they decided to add to the game. I suspect they realized that a DLC like this could help hold them over financially while they’re developing their new game.
Those new weapons look sweet. Especially that fencing sword. It will be nice to have more good non-armor based builds.
The Throwing Spear - Throwing weapons also get some love with the new Throwing Spear. Larger than a Javelin, it’s a consumable item similar to the Throwing Net and designed to take out shields from afar.

Highlights include a way to tryout new recruits and improved AI.
When looking at the list of potential recruits, you now have the option to give each individual a tryout, meaning a proper inspection to reveal all of their character traits. The cost of giving a tryout scales with the hiring fee of the recruit, but it’s probably a good idea to conduct a tryout for your more expensive hires.
With the coming update, all enemies will benefit from better positioning and better coordination amongst their ranks. They’ll be better at protecting their vulnerable units, changing between offensive and defensive strategies, and identifying bait from the player.
I just rationalize it as being your own expertise as the company captain.
I like your idea in theory, but I think it would take a whole new class of “helper” hires to make it shine, i.e. trainers, surgeons and so on. It could even be a nice way to keep old and maimed brothers around.
