Since the game is full of magic and fantasy, my first thought was the player would likely experience a fantasy stylized way of travelling to the new continent. The question felt less like "Why is there a new continent" and more like "What change happened to get us to this new continent" and the improvement of airship technology sounds like a great transition. This allows you to handwave some specific details on these new engines, whilst still hinting at the work going towards this during the base game. | |

Navigation gets much harder once you're away from the shelter of the coast, and boats travel a lot slower than land-transport. What about fuel, provisions etc? You say airships exist too - these would be subject to pressures too - over land you can set down every now and then, refuel, reprovision and fix things. Over ocean, not so much. Remember you don't' have to make it impossible, just really really hard to do an ocean voyage. | |
