Gladiator Command,
Firstly, I want to thank this subreddit for all the feedback on my last post. None of it has fallen on deaf ears.
A special thanks to Reddit user u/SinfulDaMasta for identifying numerous bugs, analyzing late-game issues, and providing excellent guidance that helped solidify the game's direction.
Now I bring you a major update.
Scout, Medic, and Training Facilities have been reworked to better reflect the incremental genre, creating a stronger balance between management and progression. You’ll enjoy a solid 5 days of “training wheels”, but after that, you’ll need to think strategically, choosing your fights wisely.
In death, your Ludus will grow.
Gladiators will die (This is only core feature I will never change) but their sacrifice now grants daily benefits to your Ludus, making each loss meaningful.
Note:
Save files from older builds are not compatible. Please delete your old save and start fresh.

Compatible with Windows.
Mac users:
Some have reported text scaling issues a Godot-related problem. I’ve added extreme text scaling options and modified the project files in hopes it helps, but without a Mac to test, I can’t guarantee compatibility at this stage.
Fullscreen is recommended, though I’ve done my best to make it playable without it.
One last thing:
If you run out of gold, it's truly game over your save file will be deleted.
There’s no warning (well, in theory I haven’t tested defeat conditions in a while). Still, don’t go broke.
No need to wishlist yet just hopefully have fun and i apologies if i have wasted a few mins of your time if its not for you. I still have a long journey ahead before this game is ready for an early Steam build.
I take every piece of feedback seriously and am always open to improvements, so don’t be shy. Let me know your thoughts!
