This took some serious time! But we had to add all these features at the same time. We still have solid work ahead of us until the game is ready for Early Access, but this update was important and big step that is getting us closer. You can talk with us or follow the development more closely by joining our [url=https://discord.gg/J7Ja2cK]Discord Community[/url] Or [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043260/Gladiator_Guild_Manager/]Wishlist the Full Game Here[/url] to get notified once it's released.

We got feedback from many people that this was the weakest part of the game. Here is what’s new: [list] [*] Two random gladiator buildings unlock after finishing each arena. [*] There is Revival Temple building that lets you bring units back from death (this is disabled on PermaDeath mode). [*] Gladiator and Inventory slots can be upgraded at bottom of the panel. [*] Upgrading specific gladiator building increased that gladiators inventory space and experience gain. [/list] [h2]Updated Gladiator Info Panel[/h2] [list] [*] Panel is visually changed to nicely show all stats and quirks. [*] More stats are now shown like: Range and Type of Attack. Knowing Type of Attack is useful because you can compare it to enemy defences and see what kinds of attacks they can defend from (and vice versa). [/list] [h2]Timeline[/h2] There are days, weeks, and years (no days limitations anymore). In upcoming updates this feature will be connected with weather system. [h2]Gladiator Wages[/h2] At middle of the week you'll need to pay gladiators wages. Higher level and better gladiator quirks makes their wages higher. [h2]Gladiators Dying and Reviving[/h2] Now gladiators die in normal more too. But you can revive them. This will cost you a mana crystal and time. Higher level gladiators take more days to get revived. You can upgrade Reviving Temple in guild to reduce the time it takes. (PermaDeath mode still exists but in this mode there is no reviving) [h2]Quests and Events[/h2] During the week quests will appear from different factions asking you for favors. Championships are organized at end of the week and quests serve to help you prepare. [h2]Faction Reputations[/h2] You have reputation with each of the 3 factions. Higher the reputation, higher the quest rewards. But in future updates we’ll add the main quest lines for each of those factions and you’ll need reputation to start those quests and also to continue the next ones. [h2]Boss Fights[/h2] You may encounter two boss fights in quests. [h2]Bank[/h2] Place where you can buy or sell resources. Also where you can loan some coin to bounce back if you find yourself in bad situation. [h2]Custom Gladiator Heads[/h2] You can put a transparent PNG file to replace any gladiators head (experimental feature so we can’t guarantee it will work on every computer yet) [h1]Units[/h1] [h2]New[/h2] [list] [*]Old Villager (Placeholder name) Villager with pitchfork [*]Tank Villager (Placeholder name) Villager with wooden shield that protects massive amounts of damage but the shield breaks after a certain amount of damage taken. [*]Female Villager (Placeholder name) Villager who throws knifes with low accuracy but with great strength that will knock the opponent down. [*]Forest Troll (Boss) (We had him in the game before but didn’t use him since there were no quests) Has huge health and damage. Melee attack that attacks single gladiator, and Smash ability that hits everybody around him. [*]Undead Yeti (Boss) Has strong attack that knocks enemy down with every hit. Also a Thick Fur, passive ability that blocks 80% damage from ranged and explosion attack types. [/list] [h2]Changes[/h2] [list] [*] Priestess Does not restores stamina any more and has longer cooldowns. (Still useful with shield and heal, but not overpowered like she used to be (hopefully)) [*] Invigorator Got ability to restore stamina. His Diving Vigor that boosts gladiators main stat is 80% stronger. (In other words. He should be useful now. [*] Horn Beast Has Dense Fur passive ability that blocks 30% of the damage from ranged and explosion attack types. [*] More We made minor balancing to other units like nerfing Berserker a little bit, buffing Archer, making Hunter less accurate as he’s really good at keeping melee units away from him, but should not be that great against ranged units. And many other small tweaks to other gladiators. [/list] [h3]Items[/h3] Consumable items are now 50% stronger than ordinary items of the same level. Use them smartly when odds are not in your favor.
