The population of the Arctic is divided into two tiers:Īlmost all the arctic population's needs are based around the the exploitation of animal products that are unique to the region, for both comfort and gear. The storyline will see the player progress through the building of an Arctic settlement and the construction of their first airship. This is a play on the real-world lost expedition of Sir John Franklin and the crews of the HMS Erebus and Terror.
