This is not the Settlers.

PvP was officially rejected and will not be part of Pioneers of Pagonia. While I understand your point of view, considering how long games can take in PoP, how long the build up for an army is, PvP would not be entertaining I think. Futhermore, the indirect combat system would be not so enjoyable either.
Maybe they reconsider it in a potential Pioneers of Pagonia 2 in the future.

"I just dont understand how such a decision could have been made ?"

Let us dream and use something called empathy, and 'in their shoes':

Guy A: Hey, should we do PvP?

Guy B: The game’s core vision is peaceful building, logistics, and coop, not competitive combat. We're choosing to focus development time on all those things. Adding PvP (or even separate player settlements) would need major system reworks that game wasn’t built for, because it wasn't our goal.

Guy A: Ahhh ok i see how you came to that decision

Guy B: That's really respectful of you, thanks

Guy A: No problem, i dont want to come off like a selfish and mean person that can't respect people making decisions i, and others, don't agree with.

Guy B: Again - i really appreciate your understanding. I have to explain this to people every week and they don't seem to look at other posts or just accept what we've done here

o.o

I too come from an old settlers heritage, having been told by others "Hey look, this game could be something for you!" And seeing how things are, I also wonder about that decision.
I can understand it and respect it, but I can still voice my opinion that it is a wrong decision, considering that the game already is not entirely peaceful and combat is a part of it.

I am also from ye olde years of Settlers, and i don't wonder about that decision. I get it, im not trying to be an ass, but it is an opinion that has been so very, very, clearly voiced by the community. Resulting in the need to repeatedly state why PvP was not a design decision.

So i feel like it is insulting to the developers, who clearly put some love into the game, to keep going on and on and on and on and on, and on, with new posts saying "Why not PvP"

The horse is dead, so long dead, people are flogging bones!

Dont want PVP, give me a break

Maybe people like or respect the game and the developers behind it, and want to prevent too many bones from accumulating too quickly.

Yes, plz add pvp. The settlers is not the settlers without pvp-mode. I don´t like to play pagonia in singleplayer-mode at all. And only coop - hm.

For long games, you can save the game. PVP is not about combat system it´s about the economic system. The battle is merely the result.

there is no need for pvp its a friendly game. and game to find friendly folks

My friends and famliy members are friendly folks too and we love only to play such games together in pvp-mode.

No PvP please, thanks.

Most idiotic answers ever lol

Did you try Settlers: New Allies yet? It was Pagonia, but reworked towards PvP before its launch.
It's a very successful game that Pagonia community simply failed to appreciate. I think your refined tastes may find it more to your liking

PvP is a cancer...
