Hi, I am pleased to present Patch 0.17. As early access approaches, I am keeping patches smaller and more frequent to avoid releasing one giant patch before launch and potentially breaking everything. I have also updated our roadmap.

Greetings Restitutors, I am happy to announce that Patch 0.9 is now available for both the playtest and demo build - players trying out the demo during Steam Next Fest will receive this update as well. Patch 0.9 is compatible with progress from 0.8, so a hard reset is not required. However, this patch introduces quite a few new mechanics, so your current run may be affected - I recommend doing…

Hello, I am happy to present Patch 0.7 - hopefully this update is the last playtest patch before the public demo. It expands the historical setting, adds regional flavor, and greatly deepens the content for Lugdunensis across 192–400 A.D. The playable timeline remains 192–400 A.D. Additional content will arrive in future updates. You may continue playing past 400 A.D., but scripted historical c…
Economy Overhaul In this version, the economy has been rebuilt from the ground up. Two new mechanisms are introduced: production and trade. Production Each tile has a tile output (grain, wood, iron ore and livestock), determined when generating the map. Upgrading tile production will increase the tile output. Part of the goods are paid in goods tax (10%-50% tax rate, adjustable) and the remaini…
Hi, I am happy to announce that Patch 0.5 is now available! It took a bit longer than planned as I was sick - now that I have mostly recovered, I am slowly catching up. Guarantee Defense and Deter Aggression · The Protection treaty has been removed and replaced with Guaranteeing Defense and Deterring Aggression. These new agreements do not use diplomats. · Guaranteeing Defense requires us to jo…
In Patch 0.4, I've given NPCs the capability to declare war - on players and on each other. This actually completely revamps how warfare works. In previous patches, NPC provinces are passive - they do not declare wars at all. And the warfare is player-centric and only works for the attacker. In this patch, we need a new warfare system that treat the player and NPCs equally and works for differe…
Great Power Actions The 5 most prestigious provinces in the past year are considered "great power" and a series of "great power actions" become available. · Demand a Tile · Demand a Tribute · Demand Election Backing · Denounce For example, when demanding a tile as a great power, the chance of them accepting the demand is based on prestige and the tile's upgrades. A dice roll determines if the p…
Social Classes A new social class simulation has been added in this patch, which is inspired by EU4's estate (but not quite the same). A province's residents are divided into senate, equites, and plebs classes. For each class, you can grant them privileges, which gives powerful bonuses but also increases their influence. A social class with higher influence will have lower loyalty equilibrium,…
