Demo Update - Governors

Nova Roma · published 21 Mar 2026, 18:19 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi Everyone,

We're feeling excited and nervous - Early Access launch is just a few days away! In the meantime, we've got a little demo update for you.

Governors

Once you reach a large enough population, you'll need to choose a governor for your citizens. You can select from three candidates, they'll each have pros and cons. They'll serve for 3 years, then you can choose a new one or re-appoint the old one, but the longer they stay in power the more corrupt they can become!

Diagonal Walls

You can now build diagonal walls!

Other Improvements/Fixes

  • Improved water simulation evaporation mechanics

  • Changed save data format (old saves should still work, they will be automatically converted)

  • Tune tax yields/impact on happiness

  • Increase amount of gold temples can hold

  • Performance optimizations across the game

  • Fixed the mass death bug

  • Fixed visual gaps in dams

  • Fixed bug with temple bonuses not loading correctly

  • Fixed notification log not arranging chronologically consistently

  • Fixed case of raiders not leaving if they couldn't unload

  • Various dam and spillway fixes

  • Tons of other small fixes

Thanks for all your feedback and bug reports so far, keep them coming! See you on Thursday for the big day!

Until next time,

-Pete, Michael, & Sam
