SertoriusPatched Unity's CVE-2025-59489. I have also updated the free demo.
Patch notesI'm thrilled to announce that Never Second in Rome is entering Early Access on February 18 at 17:00 CET (08:00 PST). The initial version will contain 10 fully playable chapters extending from the beginning of Caesar's Gallic campaign to the…
SertoriusI almost didn't notice that today is the fifth anniversary of the release of a Legionary's Life. It is gratifying to see that this game is still being played and remembered by so many people after such a long time. And may I just say…
SertoriusAfter well over four years of development, the time is ripe to unveil my next game: Never Second in Rome. As guessed by some of you, it is set during Caesar's campaigns.…
SertoriusIt is almost a year since the game came out of early access and was released in its first complete form. I want to thank once again all of you players who have spent words of support and appreciation here on Steam and elsewhere. Today's…
SertoriusThe main reason for today's update is to fix a couple of bugs that have been reported recently. While very difficult to stumble upon, they had the potential to be fairly annoying. I have also taken the opportunity to apply a few minor…
SertoriusHere's what's new in today's small update: The first change requires a little explanation: as the majority of you already know, when fighters use the Recover action and have not been attacked since their last turn, the action succeeds…
SertoriusOver the course of the last months flori2412 has been working on a fan-made, entirely volunteer German translation of A Legionary's Life. Now this considerable amount of work (the text is nearly as long as an average novel) is completed…
SertoriusThere are several important news regarding the combat system. Visible chance of full success for Feints and Shield Attacks Actions like Feints and Shield attacks have always had two indicators: the first represents the primary, mostly Skill…
SertoriusI had to fix a glitch affecting the Health bar and wanted to add a very small feature that was quite straightforward to implement, then I decided I might as well try tweaking a few parameters. Workouts are initially 50% more likely to…
SertoriusToday's update is very small, but important. Besides a minor accessory improvement to the engine, I have made a few tweaks that will affect the balance of the earlier phases of the game. Your Sword, Shield and Javelin Skills will start at…
SertoriusI haven't done it in a while, so before talking about this patch, I'd like to thank all of you who have shown support and appreciation; unconventional indie games such as this can only exist thanks to your constant encouragement. As for…
SertoriusSeveral changes are related to foraging missions, including a couple of rare but nasty bugs. I have also extended the tooltips of Feints and Shield attacks to avoid misunderstandings about the effective chance of success of actions that…
SertoriusList of changes in version 1.1.4 When characters fail to Recover twice in a row, their chance to succeed is increased by 16% for each further consecutive attempt. The increase is 8% if the character is Fatigued and 4% if Tired. Exhausted…
SertoriusWhen I began developing A Legionary's Life, a little over two years ago, the day of release was a destination so distant I could barely see it. There was so much to do to make it possible, it was scary to think about. It has been a daunting…
SertoriusI am elated to announce that A Legionary's Life will be released on September 25, 2019. As I mentioned earlier, the big update of two weeks ago pretty much completed the story and content. The next update will consist of small new features…
SertoriusThis is arguably the most important update since the Early Access began: it delivers the third and last campaign, set during the Second Macedonian War. It consists of 3 parts, 9 new random events, many fixed events (they range from a couple…
SertoriusAs I mentioned in my previous announcement, the update containing the Second Macedonian War and the ending will be released on August 29th. With that, A Legionary's Life will be complete and playable from the beginning to the end. But there…
SertoriusThis update was not planned, but it became necessary after a couple of problems were reported. As a consequence, some balance changes that were aimed at accommodating the yet unreleased parts set in Greece are present before their intended…
SertoriusAs usual, most of the development time is being devoted to the Second Macedonian War. I decided against a partial release as it makes little sense to interrupt a game with permadeath in the middle of a campaign. I'm sorry I can't give you a…
SertoriusLately, I've been mostly busy with the phalanx combat. It's not something you'll find in this update, as you will meet the Macedonian phalanx in the third and last campaign which has not been released yet, but I had to make sure it would…
SertoriusImprovements: You can use hotkeys to select combat actions and activities during the "Lull" phase. You can press Ctrl at any time to highlight the available hotkeys. Combat Tutorial: the first time you enter the melee phase of a fight, you…
Patch notesI've just released a very minor update to solve a potential compatibility issue with imported saves from the demo. Besides, the demo is now available directly from Steam. For the time being, I'm focusing on what can be improved based on the…
SertoriusVersion 0.9.3 is out, and with it the long awaited Early Access begins. The game follows closely the events of the Second Punic War from a Roman conscript soldier's point of view, but there are also many random incidents and encounters. A…
