But before launch, we need your help! We’ve added some cool new features – Aqueducts and a Trading System – and we want to make sure they work as intended. So, we’re opening up a playtest and looking for players who can spend some solid time in the game and give us honest feedback.

If that sounds like you, sign up here and help us fine-tune Roman Triumph!

Thanks for being part of this journey – can’t wait to hear what you think!

[h2]Roman Triumph is thrilled to be part of Steam Next Fest with a major new addition: Armies. Your legions await your command, go forth and build your city for Rome![/h2]

I’ve been working hard on this update, and I’m super excited to finally share it with you in time for Steam Next Fest - This is by far the biggest update to the demo yet!

[h3]Train and Command Your Own Legion[/h3]
This is something I’ve wanted to add for a long time, and it’s finally here!

You can now train your own armies, actual Roman legionaries equipped with a Gladius (short sword) or a Pilum (throwable spears):

• They need manpower and resources to train them, so you'll want to plan ahead;
  
• You have full control over them, allowing you to set formations and issue orders (like attacking on sight, holding position, etc.);
  
• They’re incredibly effective in combat, so use them wisely!

[h3]Other Additions[/h3]

• Autosave feature – No more losing progress when you forget to save.
  
• Fisherman Hut – A brand new food source for your city.
  
• Move buildings – You can now reposition structures instead of demolishing them.
  
• Enable/Disable tool – Turn buildings on and off when needed.
  
• In-game brightness control – For those who think its too dark/bright in winter.
  
• Rename saves – You're no longer locked to that one name.
  
• Added an icon seasons indicator - For when the weather itself isn't enough of a clue.
  
• Improved tutorial tasks – Now covers roads, armies, and the taxation.
  
• Column decorations – Because every Roman city needs a little extra flair.

[h3]Bug Fixes and Tweaks[/h3]

• Fixed pathfinding issues (especially when terraforming, which would cause some enemies to pass through walls).
  
• Fixed builders getting stuck.
  
• Job priorities now persist properly when loading saves and when jobs are disabled/have no workers and re-enabled.
  
• Treasury now has a limit of number of people it can collect taxes from. So bigger cities need multiple treasuries instead of just one collecting everything.
  
• Fixed winter effect hiding defense overlay.
  
• Hunter hut efficiency updates more smoothly.
  
• Trees Cutters & Rock Gatherers are way more optimized.
  
• Research now doesn’t charge you twice if interrupted (e.g. by disabling an Academia).

[h3]Try It Out And Let Me Know What You Think![/h3]
This update really improves a lot of things, and I’m excited for you to try it. If you do, let me know what you think! I always appreciate your feedback :)

If you’re playing during Steam Next Fest, thanks for checking it out! It really means a lot as a solo dev. I hope you have fun with the new features, and I’d love to hear what you think.

Philippe
