Dear IA lovers,

I am grateful for your interest in Imperial Ambitions and your support. I continue to shape this game considering every input and feedback.

The demo of IA is an important indicator for the public to guage how this game feels, however, for an unfinished game, sometimes its demo can be misguiding. Moreover, the intended quality of the final version can be underrepresented in the demo for the same reason.

For these reasons, I will be removing the demo for the time being, until next festival, or until next time I am confident enough to reactivate.

However, this doesn't effect anyone who still wants to play it in its current state, as the playtest version will continue to be available to everyone and it contains everything the demo has. All you need to do is to request access for the playtest in the steam page if you haven't yet and it will be granted automatically.

Thank you for your understanding,

aoiti

[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]

• Wealth traits, poor, rich, very rich and destitute are introduced. Wealth is determined by population, transport cap., others' wealth and lady luck.
  
• Unit movement speed are doubled.
  
• Massacre and vandalize passive abilities are added. Massacre event is caused by a riot in the presence of a discriminated or unwanted citizen. After massacre, the commiter gets Battle Fatique trait, which stops them from getting violent again for a few turns.
  
• Engineers now can build level 2 farm buildings.
  
• Increased warehouse limit to 100. Also fixed, accumulation issue.
  
• Added taxes and wage pays. Each unassigned labor, whether they are connected to the labor force or not, yield 5 gold. Unit wages are also deducted from wealth.
  
• Labor and tax output is now affected by health or unrest status. Sickly and On strike traits result in -1 labor. Plagued and Rioting traits result in 0 labor. This also effects the tax output. This is also visualized on the Town Panel.
