Meet and hire commanders and specialists that unlock new building options, units and stories.
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles requires a novel approach to building, something that isn’t about clicking over a screen but focusing on the world itself. In this sense, the game is one of experimental gameplay and controls, supported by a world and settlement that comes alive before your eyes.

WDC, Whale and Dolphin conservation is the leading global charity dedicated to the protection and conservation of whales and dolphins. Their expert-led teams in the UK, Europe, the Americas, and Australasia work across the whole spectrum of threats, from climate breakdown to accidental entanglements in fishing gear. They bring together, and work hand-in-hand with, businesses, philanthropists, scientists, NGOs, governments and grassroots communities to find solutions to the problems faced by whales and dolphins.
Starting 8th June and running until June 15th, we are delighted to be helping to raise funds for this amazing Charity with:
Their aim is to reverse the global decline in whale and dolphin populations by: ● Stopping cruelty from deliberate harms such as whaling and captivity. ● Creating safe seas, free from the threat of pollution, collisions with vessels and accidental entanglement in fishing gear. ● Winning recognition of whales and dolphins as sentient, socially complex beings, and our allies in the fight against climate and nature breakdown. Whales and dolphins are awe-inspiring. They are intelligent beings, vital for the health of the ocean and planet. They have suffered from terrible harm - deliberate and accidental - and their homes and populations are under threat. But it's not too late. Together we can still help them recover and flourish and they can help us reconnect with the wild, and repair the damage we have caused.
