🗓️ All Roads Lead to 1.0

Today we finally announce the date. Roman Triumph reaches 1.0 on September 16 and steps out of Early Access. This milestone was forged together with you through feedback, playtests, experimental builds, and countless conversations on Discord!

Thank you for every wishlist, every bug report, and every idea. The launch build focuses on stability, balance, and quality-of-life improvements, and adds fresh content for veterans who want more of a challenge.

Here’s what’s coming in the 1.0 update:

🏜️ The Desert Map

Rome’s legions once marched into North Africa, carving out settlements in the sands. This new, procedurally generated biome reflects that history, bringing both danger and opportunity:

• Farming: The soil is barren. Crops only grow with aqueducts, and even then at roughly 80% efficiency

• Timber: Few trees grow here, trade will be vital for wood

• AddedTerrainWide, open spaces make choke points rare, demanding new defensive strategies

• Resources: Minerals are plentiful, mine early to prosper

• Wildlife: Camels, zebras, and elephants roam the desert

• Threat: The Minotaur prowls these lands

🐂 The Minotaur

Forged in the forgotten labyrinths beneath Crete, the Minotaur emerges, a monstrous reminder of mankind’s hubris and the gods’ cruel judgment. It will test both your legions and the strength of your city’s defenses.

✨ New Features

• Traps to fortify your defenses

• QoL improvements across the board

Roman Triumph 1.0 will mark the end of Early Access, but not the end of development. More updates, ideas, and improvements will continue to come!
