Planned Future Content
• More detailed representation of the various Boer Republics which were created over the decades, including a more complicated Great Trek which results in various Boer states being founded before the Oranje-Vrystaat and South African Republic were historically. Including Natal Republic, Potchefstroom Republic, Potchefstroom-Winburg Republic, Utrecht Republic, Lyndenburg Republic, etc.
• Detailed Boer Wars content and Transvaal Civil War
• Cape Colony content including events and flavor for the Anglo-Zulu War, Orange Free Territory, and other plans for confederating South Africa.
• Creating detailed content for the non-colonial or non-Boer nations which are equally warranting of content and just as important.
• More characters that spawn later in the game
• General things and ideas which come up over time.
