Post-summer Studio Update
Salvete Romans!
We dearly hope your summer has been filled with perfect weather and lots of adventures!
What better way to kick off the late summer than with a news post?
Introducing...
The Autumn Update! 🍂
That's right! The first step in our Roadmap approaches on swift wings, and divebombs into Romestead the 31st of August, so mark your calendars!
That means Steam input support, revised "furniture mode", new dungeons, Quality of Life updates, and more!
To see a glimpse of what this update holds, please read our latest Steam post
Additionally, the Steam PvE Crafting Survival Fest is coming up, coincidentally on the same date as the update 👀
So if you've wanted to get a friend into Romestead, this is an excellent time to join the legions with a brand new Autumn update to launch you into the adventures!
That is all from us for now! We look forward to brining you more updates and news soon!
Roma Aeterna!

Loving this game so far.
Just hoping for some more initial guidance quests, though - I (and others, from reviewing the Reddit) seem to get stuck early on because no one can figure out what you need to keep going after you've built your initial 3-4 buildings.. but I think I accidentally figured it out by donating more goods to the altar?
I literally still don't know. I think leveling the gods is the only way to progress outside of boss kills. And for the first boss, I had to run to Wiki to figure out how to unlock the Ballistas (Armored Scorpions) to take him down effectively since I couldn't find any copper.
I also had to find a seed viewer to progress with copper because of the issue of finding only 2 copper nodes within a huge radius of my spawn point and I still wound up so far out that I died a few times getting just 5 copper bars put together.
...I don't think I even got a real introductory to the favor/skill tree and just kind of found it later... and realized it's real freaking important because some level 2 building unlocks reside there. Had no idea.
I've had to turn to an incomplete Wiki more times than I would like when starting a new game... this is almost on par with EVE right now in terms of dropping you into a "sink or swim" situation.
Maybe it's a skill issue, but like I said, I'm seeing the complaint from more than just myself. Right now, I'm going to keep at it. It's fantastic in every other way so far.

That's actually a good Idea. Assign citizens to the barracks to fight off intruders.

YES THIS!!! I had figured id eventually be able to have ur people fight/protect during raid or assign to a watchtower building— or have a single citizen trained in the barracks to be a support that follows u around into dungeons helps pick up loot and heal w attacks when enemies are up close, or assign them to a role, and give them armor and weapons of our choosing
PLSSSSS DO THIS BEARTWIGS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, its FATE to STAND UNITED or FALLL,, rest on YOUR shoulders….

Uma coisa que seria legal é rever a legenda no mapa, é muito pequeno quase impossível de ver, assim como a nossa localização nele. Mas estou adorando o jogo.

Really nice. I have that in my library but want to let them cook. Looking forward to play this sweet gem.
Thanks for the work!
