Next Few Updates

Upcoming Update

Next update will include the following:

  • Bugs: will be looking at the infinite fatigue bug, the rare game crash that has been reported on the End Turn, and more.
  • Gladiator Portraits: more are being worked on (including a couple optional female ones as well.)
  • Stable Upgrades: will be making it clearer which upgrades increase morale and which ones decrease it.
  • Morale: will be looking at this and making sure it is as balanced and well-explained as possible.
  • Stable: rollover tool-tip on stable page to show which weapon a gladiator is equipped with and its condition.
  • City Balancing: will be looking at each city to make sure the challenge is as balanced as possible.
  • Retirement text: will be adding some flavor text based on score. Akin to Mount & Blade, Pirates, etc...

Lions, Bears, Bugs (Fixes) And More!

Some additional things I am strongly considering for a future (but very near) update:

  • Lions and bears! This will likely coincide with an exhibition "training" match system that has been suggested by a lot of players. This will allow people to train a gladiator once a day in non-death matches against animals. I am still working on the concept and will be fleshing this out further in the coming days.
  • Additional Battle Text: during battles describing the action in more detail. This will be in addition to the turn based messages currently seen.
  • Gladiator Origins: expanded origins based on what country they come from: Italia, Carthage, Africa, Germany, etc...
  • Sponsorship: will be looking at potentially increasing the percentage for this, or lowering the cost slightly for each sponsorship tier.
  • Hall Of Fame: will likely be adding the ability to view a fighter's win-loss and injury history in the hall of fame.
  • Steam Workshop: will be looking at adding this for people.

There are many more fantastic suggestions that I am also looking at and sorting. If you are interested in leaving your own feedback, please visit the Game Suggestions Thread in the discussions section.
