[GDN] With Port Governance will there be expanded affiliation and alliance options in the game? Will several independent ports be able to create some sort of strategic or economic alliance for example?

[RW] For the initial release, we’re focusing on how players can affect the everyday goings-on in the port they’re governing. This isn’t without its own politics though, so the alliances and shady deals are definitely there, they’re just not explicitly tied to the system but rather to the players involved.  Moving forward, we really want to increase the points of interaction between societies and yes, even ports as a whole, so it’s definitely something we’re thinking about.

[GDN] Bonus Question: What game are you playing (aside from PotBS of course)?

[RW] Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I was supposed to play co-op with a buddy, but never had the time when it came out. Now that the sequel is coming out, I figured I should finish the first one so we could play #2 together!

GDN would like to thank Russell Williams for taking time out of his busy schedule to sit down with us and Tom at Flying Labs for handling all the logistics. We look forward to Power & Prestige as well as further news from Flying Labs. Good luck Guys!
