The gates to new technologies and improvements are finally open! With the release of version 0.05.00 of Gladiators of Porta Aurora, I have introduced the research system, bringing entirely new possibilities to your Ludus.

New Feature: Research

A spirit of discovery blows through an alternate world! You can now transform a room in your Ludus into the Fabularium of Invention. There, you can set up a research table and appoint a servant as a Technologos. This Technologos will conduct research for you and help unlock new technologies.

Research is divided into various projects, each dedicated to a specific theme, such as a new training method or the improvement of workflows. In this version, there are seven research projects that provide improvements and new items across different areas of the Ludus.

Thanks to research, you now have the opportunity to increase the efficiency of your Ludus, develop new training methods, and better prepare your gladiators.

New Content and Changes

• 7 research trees for different upgrades and new objects.
• New room type: Fabularium of Invention – The place where research is conducted.
• New profession: Technologos – The servant who conducts research for you.
