Current working theory: the distance filter for Steam Lobbies was set too small, and with a small user base in endless mode beta at any given time, no one was finding any matches.

Let's see if this patch actually lets people into a game...

  • no big deal: Tactical Multiplayer Gladiator Battles in OPEN BETA via new employee: 'Fight Promoter'

    Please Note: Tactical Multiplayer is still VERY EARLY in development - only *basic* functionality is supported at this time. The game can, and likely will, crash at any stage of multiplayer handshake and we apologize for any frustration.

    Please be patient and report bugs to the forum. Supporting the developer with CASH MONEY because he lives in a socialist utopia where nothing works, is the best way to ensure timely updates - buy the first wave of DLC and the soundtrack, and we'll do our best to keep going in to work every day, despite civilizational collapse.

  • no way John McAfee killed himself. highly dubious. highly fuckin' dubious.

- fixed: DLC: Livery / Halls of Heroes missing upon loading saved game

NOTE: We apologize for the inconvenience due to corrupted saves. We're not sure why this issue didn't come up in BETA testing, but it should be resolved now.

If you are still running into issues with a new game created in v1.2.91, please send us the latest logs and the savestate/savestate_endless files and we can take a look at what might going wrong.

  • DLC is available for purchase in the Steam Store! (Sagittarius, Velite, Scissor, Charioteer, Hall of Heroes, Livery, and Inventory)
  • new: Game Difficulty: Mild and Easier game modes will now disable the "ai flavour" characteristics and hide them from user interface to prevent new users from being alienated by 'evasive' mechanic early on.

  • new: 20 new story events!
  • fixed: Achievement King of the Jungle didn't show up immediately when unlocked (it would show up later, when the next event synched with steam stats)
  • fixed: savestate not being cleaned up after game win/loss (user can reload old save after championship, whoops.)
  • fixed: events that free gladiators could occur even if the ludus only had [behemoths, lions, chariots, or horses] and no one would be freed.
  • 'sticky' stats windows for gladiator stat comparison before battle - right click to enable/disable
  • if player loses the 'domina market challenge' gladiators who are in private rooms should no longer be included as potential run-aways.
    also: coin/wine costs for losing are less horrible on easier modes..
  • !hero with 0 bits will be an unclassed slave/default. 1+ bits will auto assign a class.
  • NEW EULA/TOS!
  • balancing: chariot race rewards (from 1-5 years of endless mode play, the chariot races will yeild greater rewards than before)
  • possibly fixed: chariots missing at start of race
  • fixed: after Domina event in endless mode, gladiator defaults to manual control rather than AI
  • new: endless mode championship - size of championship now starts smaller than regular game, and grows each year (up to max 20 opponents!)
  • new: rewards for solving level in catacombs of unholy stink are now +/-10X greater
  • possibly fixed again haha lol roflcopter: horse/chariot missing on rewards screen (or lately, showing up as giant black boxes)
  • fixed: inventory bug: gladiators freed/sold with equipment were incorrectly having the equipment returned back to inventory despite the sale price including all equipment.
  • new: gladiators can be downgraded completely back to naked (previously they were stuck at the lowest level of equipment for each slot/loadout)
  • new: gladiator morale buffs/debuffs indicate on screen with yay/boo
  • game options: !hero min/max cheer bits can be set from UI and streamer can enabled/disable (potentially OP) prestige gladiators for users who spend bits at (or beyond) max cheer (gladiator will be prestige but will have no training applied so the streamer will have the ability to select whichever prestige training he likes.)
  • fixed again maybe: achievement: thrown weapons
  • new: Ludus TIME BOOST MAX 200%
  • tweaked: Chariot Races - AI
  • new: sanitize text - the most offensive words are replaced with lesser offensive words, in text events, options, and outcomes. (no more f-words, c-words, or other c-words for ye who wouldst rather prefer to be unassailed by such vulgarities.)
  • fixed: anachronistic medicus training procedures
  • new: charioteer's whip now has a higher disarm chance if you whip a gladiator in battle. (Use Key: [E])
