Update v2.8.1

Citizens of Rome!

Today, Slaves of Rome completes two full years since its establishment!

What began as a vision has grown into a living Empire thanks to your support, feedback, passion, and, most importantly, patience. Every report, suggestion, and word shared by the community helped shape the empire it is today.

THANK YOU for standing with Rome, even in the rough times. We wouldn't be able to be here if it weren't for the amazing and passionate community that we have.

We know our last update was in October and we usually deliver new content every two months or so. This one took longer as we went deep on reworking and rebalancing the game’s economy, love/fear system, and more yet to come (we also had to iron out some big bugs and such). Thank you for your patience and sorry for the (slightly longer) wait.

Now, let’s talk about this update, shall we? This new update focuses mostly on Economy and Progression rebalance, mainly on the Love/Fear system, but we also have some more! Below are some highlights of the update, you can check out the full changelog as well.
