Antiquitas has just been updated to v1.29.0 and the patch should be hitting all platforms over the coming days. This update rolls up all of the performance and bug fix patches from My Colony updates v1.10.0, v1.11.0, and v1.12.0. In addition, it adds jailing and security capabilities to multiple buildings for each empire, addressing the issue from the previous update where Crime could not be controlled.

As with recent versions of My Colony, the native Desktop Client (https://market.ape-apps.com/antiquitas.html) cannot be auto-updated from v1.28.0 to v1.29.0, so you will have to uninstall the previous version and re-download this update. This does not impact the Steam client or the Progressive Web App. This update also adds a native desktop client for Apple M1 processor (ARM) based macs.

Today I am putting the finishing touches on Antiquitas v1.28.0 and pushing it out to all platforms, and this probably the most significant update to the game since it first came out. As I was playing Antiquitas the other day, I thought ya know, gee. Why don't I just port the My Colony online server over to Antiquitas? So, that's what I did, and now we have Antiquitas: The Online Update!


If you are familiar with My Colony, the online experience for Antiquitas will be familiar to you. You are now able to start a new city in online mode, under the tutelage of another real life online player whose city has gained independence. That player will be able to help you get started and grow your civilization. Online global chat is also now enabled in the game, allowing players to communicate and help each other while they play.

The three Docks structures in the game have gained online resource trading capabilities. Building the docks will unlock the global online resource marketplace, where you can buy and sell resources with other players.

Every online city will also now gain it's own city website, located at https://antiquitas.my-colony.com. Right now the website is loaded with My Colony references, as I basically just copied the My Colony website and made some conversions to support Antiquitas, but the site will be updated within the coming days.

Since the online feature does copy a lot of code from My Colony, I may have missed some My Colony references in the game, so let me know if you find things that are out of place.

Anyway, since there was so much code copy/pasting to get online working, I consider it somewhat experimental in this update, and the next update will clean up anything that is amiss. That said, I don't really expect a lot of problems, since the online code has been pretty well hashed out over a long history of My Colony updates, but we will see what happens.

So go ahead and give Antiquitas online a try, and stay tuned for more to come!

I have just put the finishing touches on Antiquitas v1.26.0, and the update should be hitting all platforms within the coming days. This is a major update which rolls up all features and bug fixes from the My Colony engine contained in MC patches v0.96.0, v0.97.0, v0.98.0, v0.99.0, v1.0.0, v1.1.0, and v1.2.0. Now, if you've followed My Colony, you know that there have been some major changes contained in those releases, and they are now hitting Antiquitas, so let's go over everything that's new!

The v1.25.0 patch for Antiquitas is now live and should be hitting all platforms within a couple of days. This update rolls up all of the bug fixes and engine updates from My Colony releases v0.90.0, v0.91.0, v0.92.0, v0.93.0, v0.94.0, and v0.95.0. Because of the sheer number of engine improvements in those My Colony releases, this is actually a fairly significant update for Antiquitas, so let's just highlight some of the things that are new.

Today the v1.24.0 patch for Antiquitas has been released and should be hitting all platforms within the next few days. This update rolls up all engine patches and upgrades from My Colony v0.85.0, v0.86.0, v0.87.0, v0.88.0, and v0.89.0. That's a lot of patches, and there are a handful of new features that are now available as a result.
