Dear Strategy Lovers!

We have a big update on the way. And before that I am happy to share the latest youtube video about Industry in IA.

[h3]New features[/h3]
With recent updates you can now specialize your explorers, create settlers, found new towns, watch refugees move independently, and more...

[h3]Reactive Citizens[/h3]
Citizens are more likely to react to what's going on around. Rioting citizens can vandalize other citizens, or even massacre minorities. At the same time, minorities can choose to migrate to other towns for safety and oppurtunity.

[h3]New Resources[/h3]
Grape is now added as a resource to the campaign map available to make beverages and keep your peasants content.

[h3]UI Changes[/h3]
You can view your regiments in the new UI list on the left of the screen

New soundtrack, "Renaissance" by Emil Posner, is now added to the main campaign.

These and more are now available in the playtest!

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
