- Small and big news - 1 January 2024
Hello everyone. We want to wish you all Happy New Year filled with many memorable moments. It has been a long while since we published the last news. Well, there have been reasons for it, but as of December 2023, Aggressors: Ancient Rome has come back "home" under our own (indie) wings, those of Kube Games dev studio. We prepared an update with bug fixes and some improvements. You can now expect regular updates, even though we do not plan any major changes to the gameplay, rather smaller changes improving the player experience. It is quite possible that you haven't heard of Kube Games yet. We are a small indie team from the Czech Republic focusing purely on turn-based strategy games. Aggressors: Ancient Rome was our first game released under a publisher. Our next game was released two years later under our name of Kube Games. It is called Imperiums: Greek Wars, and it already has three…
- Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage - 23 September 2022
For all you fans of Aggressors: Ancient Rome we have some terrific news. Our new expansion pack Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage is what you can call "Aggressors 2.0" with upgrades in graphics, a bigger map, new mechanics and new units. The twists and challenges will test your military skill, political shrewdness and tactical genius to the limits. Imperiums is the spiritual successor of Aggressors, yet it is a completely new game with a different look, additional features and a different historical feel to it. We built on the solid foundations and strengths of Aggressors and then expanded the game in many varying directions to enhance the player experience. We have put a lot of effort in making Imperiums a truly deep 4X strategy game and we consider Rome vs Carthage to be the highlight of our work. The DLC focuses on the central Mediterranean where the fledgling Roman Republic still fights t…
- Winners of Best Game Design 2018 award! - 31 May 2019
We can proudly announce that we won an Indie Prize 2018 award in the category "Best Game Design"! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F36441e77ab2d2334224bdbc4badacc10df2886e4.png It was a great experience, and the number and quality of indie games presented at the Casual Connect event in London makes our success even more precious for us. It came as a big surprise, as Aggressors is not really the "Casual" cup of tea for everyone. Casual Connect is over, we are already back in Prague with our nice glass award, but that's definitely not the only thing we got at the conference. We met interesting new business partners, got great feedback about the game, made new friends, and learned about new technologies and changes in the gaming industry. Thank you, Casual Connect, for the opportunity to come to London and for making the event a worthwhile experien…

Hello Everyone, We have some great news! Among 100 finalists at Casual Connect, we are among 22 nominees for an Indie Prize! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F9e154466ae4cb18b9b8d0ee8c87ae4d9d9477edc.jpg Most of the other nominees are pretty casual, so Aggressors stands out from the crowd quite a bit, as we don't fit the "casual" theme. Even so, we have been nominated, which really surprises us! Wish us luck today!
- We are heading to Casual Connect! - 26 May 2019
We received some excellent news earlier this month: Aggressors: Ancient Rome has been selected as a finalist for the Casual Connect 2019 Indie Prize! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F19c8067b276a4b0a80f21f97f8a2739fb6091c4b.png You can see all the finalists here It's already a big achievement to have gotten to the final, considering the nature of the game; not many strategy titles are there with us!

- Sengoku Japan 1560 scenario - 5 February 2019
One of the first scenarios that was uploaded to the Aggressors Steam workshop was “Ancient Orient BC1000” with its own mod “Orient”. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F087cbaf01d9fc81d2707696fd0c7c73fbb42254e.jpg In that time our Map Builder tool was not yet available, and the creator made his map manually. It contained Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, and Middle Eastern territories like Syria, Assyria, Arabia, etc. The scenario was a bit of a surprise for me. The other scenario creators were pretty active on the forum and our Discord channel asking questions regarding the game editor, mod related issues, how to add new factions, and so on. The creator of “Ancient Orient BC1000” was different. He rarely asked questions on forum, and he was able to figure out most of the things on his own. That's also the reason why I was a bit sceptical about the resul…
- The Centurion scenario - 29 January 2019
One of the scenarios which popped up in Aggressors: Ancient Rome Steam workshop not too long ago is called "Centurion". Its creator is a fan of an old-school strategy game of the same name released in 1990. As I am a big fan of this strategy game myself, I gave it a try and it instantly became one of my favorites. It is a great work and I had much fun playing it. Let me introduce you to Mogilan who created this scenario, and the journey of its creation in his own words. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F373b2b6ecb7502078d3eee4d6c854931d7188bcb.jpg I’ll keep it simple, as I don’t want this text to be too boring. I was looking for a game set in the Ancient Era and Aggressors: Ancient Rome attracted me with its simplicity and resemblance to the Civilization series. I bought a game and finished the tutorial, the Simple one. I loved the game, the fee…
- The Gallic Wars scenario - 22 January 2019
Aggressors: Ancient Rome does not start and end with the Mediterranean scenario. Our players can create their own maps, factions, units, rules, or whole mods. We would like to introduce you some of the most interesting ones, and let the creators themselves tell you something about what they created, what was their motivation, how they enjoyed creation of these scenarios, and what they may have struggled with. Today we would like to introduce you a scenario called "The Gallic Wars", created by Liko336. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F21342374a7b153c9860525cb6e8605b99ffa9861.png Without further ado we give the floor to him to tell you about his "child". One year ago, I came across the old game History Great Empires: Rome and its original PC counterpart, Legion Gold. I decided to play another round, and enjoyed it, even with the lack of graphic,…

- Aggressors - Map Builder Video - 15 October 2018
We have prepared a short video explaining and showing how the new Map Builder tool in Aggressors works. With the new Map Builder tool players are able to import any kind of map (e.g. from a picture) and play it out in Aggressors. Do you want to play on a map of South Africa? Just find a picture of the map of South Africa you want to import, run it through the tool as shown in the video and get ready to play. It's as easy as that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy-E_0mbvks Many players are already making use of the new tool, as well as of the new changes and improvements that we brought with the latest free update. It's part of our continuous effort to support the modding community, and it's certainly working. There are already several dozens of mods and scenarios available in the Steam Workshop, all available for free. It is extremely important for us to help and support the modding co…

https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32720708%2F48e749aefc0931ca57a2cd1136eeea65b12ee905.jpg Today we released a new version v1.0.5, called "Creators Update". The update was not announced in advance as usual – as it was a small surprise for our fans, especially the scenario creators and modders. We hope that this will also convince other players that creating your own map is so easy and fast that anyone can do it! Let's first start with the built-in game editor. The feedback we have received so far was very positive. All suggestions and requests related to the editor were given a priority in our change implementation schedule. The game editor is very stable, intuitive and easy to use. You can change pretty much anything related to a scenario - such as adding new units or creating rivers, to defining relations and army morale for each faction. We also wanted t…

We've already released three big updates since then, and we are proud to say that just a minor portion of the changes were bugfixes. We would like to thank our beta testers who did an incredible job during the long beta testing phase with helping us identifying and fixing almost all technical issues. One thing our players appreciate is our professional customer support. The game itself comes with a simple to use "error window" that pops up when a problem is encountered. This is a quick way of informing us that something went wrong. You can contact us directly either by using this tool, through e-mail or just by posting on our forums. We really do our best to answer within hours every time. In some cases…
