I have just published the v1.9.0 update to Antiquitas, and it should be arriving on most platforms within the next couple of days. Here is a look at what is new.

New Structures

• Jeweler
• Bard Stand
• Small Gaulish Torch
• Tailor
• Struggle Ring

New ad-free Structure: Decorative Gaulish Torch

Engine updates and fixes from My Colony v0.61.0

Now, about an hour after I had already bundled all of the assets for this update, I got a fresh batch of Gaul graphics from @jova , which means there is more content already ready to go for the next update, so you know there is already yet another Gaul update coming in the pipeline!

Additionally, there have been a whole host of bug fixes specific to the Windows 10 Store version of the game. I have also added some additional error logging to the Windows 10 Store client to help squash further bugs particular to that release. With the Windows 10 April Update supposedly hitting all Windows devices soon, I am hoping there is a performance update to the UWP WebView that should bring the Windows 10 Store performance up to par with Chrome and the Ape Apps Launcher edition of the game. Fingers crossed!

Finally, I am going to attempt to get both Antiquitas and My Colony released to the Xbox One console sometime in May. I already have them up and running on the console, it is just a matter of getting approval from Microsoft. So we will see what happens there.

That's all for today's update. Thanks for playing, and stay tuned for more!

The third Antiquitas Gaul update has just been released and should be arriving to all platforms within the next few days. Here it what is new:

Missing string related bug fix

New Structures
- Granary
- Council of Elders
- Sanctuary
- Nemeton
- Gaulish Market
- Osta
- Roman Commercial Outpost
- Pottery Works
- Large Water Basin

New ad-free content:
- Decorative Fountain

UI updates from My Colony v0.60.0

Also, the Windows 10 Store version should now support offline (LAN) cross platform multiplayer, like Android, iOS, and Native Client already do today.

The Antiquitas update is live now on Android, Web, and the Ape Apps Launcher, and should be arriving everywhere else within the next couple of days. Enjoy!

Antiquitas v1.7.0 has just been wrapped up and it's starting to make its way to various platforms. Here is the expected release schedule:

Web: Available Now
Ape Apps Launcher: Available Now
Windows Store: Available Tomorrow
iPhone/iPad: Available Tomorrow
Android: Available Later This Week
Native Clients: Available Later This Week

The issue with the Android and Native Clients is that my main development machine is currently down and so I will be spending the next couple of days getting everything back up and running and will be unable to publish updates to Android or the Native Clients before then. My iOS and Windows development is done on different machines, so they were not impacted, and the Ape Apps Launcher is automatically self-updating and so does not require anything special on my part.

This is the second Gaul update, and includes 15 fresh new Gaul buildings straight from graphics mastermind @jova . Also included are two new premium structures and a new resource: Wheat Beer.

The Gauls are now somewhat far along and totally playable, but there is still a lot more to come. @jova is cranking out the graphics faster than I can get them added into the game. Like I mentioned earlier, I have to spend the next couple of days getting my computer working again, and then My Colony is way past due for an update, so I've absolutely got to work on that. Then, there will be yet another Gaul content update coming to Antiquitas, so stay tuned for a whole lot more!

Antiquitas v1.6.0 should now be heading to a device near you, and this is Part 1 of the Gaul update! Yes, the second civilization in Antiquitas, the Gauls, have arrived, and with them come a new map and a bunch of new structures.

My poor fingers don't want to type out all of the new buildings that are in this update, but there are 17 in total.

When you play the new Gaul map, you will also notice there might be a couple of Roman or German farms scattered along the edges of the map. These don't do anything yet and you might be tempted to destroy them, but don't do it! In the next update, the Gauls will be getting a new Raiding Party which will allow you to "Raid" the Roman and German settlements for goods and coin. The feature would have been in this release, but it requires a few more coding changes than I had anticipated, so it will wait until next time.

The Gauls are still not complete. Later on they unlock the ability to build a bunch of Roman stuff, which will probably be removed or changed in the future. If you put these structures in your city though, they wont be taken away, so feel free to do it.

Once again, @jova has done an excellent work on the graphics for this update, so feel free to send him your congratulations on a job well done!

Antiquitas v1.6.0 should be arriving to most platforms within a day or two. It is available right now on both the Web and through the Ape Apps Launcher, and will be making its way everywhere else as the various apps stores give it the seal of approval. Hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for lots more to come!

I just published the February update for Antiquitas, which is based mostly on the core code from My Colony v0.56.0 but with additional bug fixes, as well as a few fixes related to Antiquitas specifically (like the 'activate all' button not working). In addition to the new engine updates, there is some new content, as well as a new 32bit Windows Desktop client which you can download from here: https://market.ape-apps.com/antiquitas.html

Here is what is new:

New structures: Cultum Linum, Navalia, Naumachia
New Resources: Linen, Ships
New tech: Linen Production
New ad-free content: Imperial Statue

In addition to the above, the build requirements have been modified for several structures, mostly adding some of the newer resources as building requirements to later-game structures.

Coming next in the Antiquitas March 2018 update will be a new snow map and the beginning of the next civilization, the Gauls. Enjoy!
