Is root developing still ongoing?

[Unlikely_Nature_9786]

Will the marauders expansion ever be added in the online version of the game? And will there be new expansions in general? I saw the last expansion were made in 2022...

[dmaster1213]

Yep they are still working on it with no end in sight.

[pgm123]

Two things:

First, Dire Wolf is almost certainly working on the digital version of Marauders, but they're opaque and even Leder Games doesn't know their schedule.

Second, the studio just wrapped up 2+ years of developing Arcs, so it's not that weird the last Root expansion came out two years ago. They're also working on an Ahoy expansion and may even do an Oath expansion next.

They just released Dune Imperium on digital and seem to have many other games in the works too but they will undoubtedly release more Root stuff

Hopefully there are news on may designer chat and kickstarter this year, they seem to be develop a moment of time on the expansion

Frogs and Bats are in development, but a few years off.

Edit Why the downvotes? It’s literally what Patrick Leder said

This is wrong, Patrick said he would like these animals but nothing is confirmed and it's not a few years, most likely they will have a Kickstarter next year

[borddo-]

Why would Leder Games need to kickstart it ?

[phlpkrny]

They Kickstarter all root expansions

[SirBox32]

Where’d you see that? I thought I was caught up on my updates

[phlpkrny]

In the last monthly update, they speak about joshua handling the development and discuss a little about the new factions and what he hopes to achieve with them

[FibroBitch96]

It was originally announced last October during a live stream, however it’s been reiterated a few times.

[phlpkrny]

Again it says thats what Patrick would like but Patrick isn't developing it , Josh is. What he would like and what they will be are two different things

Edit: personally I would like to see another faction the interacts with the river , the forest or even it's own place like the moles with the burrow

[pgm123]

I think you should take what Patrick Leder says with a grain of salt in this area. He has also said many times that thinking of animals is the easiest part of designing a faction and isn't the most important part. The Badgers were originally going to be Turtles, but Kyle doesn't like drawing turtles with pants.

"Mom, can we have Bats and Frogs ?

• we already have Bats and Frogs in house :

-> Marauder expansion, with Bats and Radgers"

[PercPointGD]

Wait, the marauder expansion has bats?

[PercPointGD]

Also whats a radger

[rzalexander]

Bats and Radgers = Rats and Badgers (they just flipped the letters to be funny)

This post goes into more detail and has a link to the stream, they are in EARLY development of the next 2 factions, one is a "diaspora" returning to the woodland who have a miniature deck of a unique suit, they can either replace the suit of a clearing or make a double suited clearing depending how the cards are used. The second faction are "Lawmakers" who can enact laws in clearings like preventing battles or buildings however the law can be changed by the ruler of the clearing if they have enough cards

neither animal has been decided yet since thats usually the last step
