Spanish studio Abylight Studios announced today that its Steam city construction strategy game "Citadelum" will usher in a 2.0 major update "Julius" on the evening of April 11.This is the largest content update to date and is available to all players for free.

"City of Gods" is a city construction game with ancient Rome as the background. In addition to traditional city construction and management, the game also has unique exploration and expansion gameplay. Players need to train their troops to expand their territory, open up trade, and prevent enemy invasions. At the same time, when the city begins to develop religion, you also need to build temples, present tributes, and hold sacrificial activities to win the favor of the gods, and let them come in person to sow blessings or reduce their anger.

This 2.0 free update "Julius" is the largest content update of the game so far, bringing the game a fuller new gameplay, mechanism and content, such as new resources such as olive oil, pottery, cheese, honey, etc., more refined and complex production chains, urban side missions, public event trials, etc.

In addition, the game has made major adjustments to the interactive mechanism of the gods. Now the new building can automatically hold god festivals and give priority to the gods you need most.

Finally, and most importantly, this 2.0 large-scale update has been deeply optimized and improved on the underlying system, greatly improving the game's running performance and smoothness, and should be able to solve the lag and crash problems encountered by many players.

It is worth mentioning that Abylight Studio said that after this 2.0 update, the game has multiple free content updates in preparation. Players who like ancient Roman themes and city construction games may wish to take advantage of this update to buy it immediately!

The main changes to "Julius" in 2.0 include:

New resources and production buildings: Salt and clay can now be collected and olives, olive oil, clay bricks, pottery, cheese and honey can be produced.

More complex production chain systems: Some products (such as bread) now require a combination of two resources (such as wheat and salt) to be produced.

Technical Level System Optimization: Improving the city's technical level will enhance building performance and improve warehouse storage capacity.

Intercity diplomatic relations system: The better the relationship with other cities, the more preferential the transaction price, and the more troops can be recruited.

Side Mission System: City Councillors will propose tasks completed within the time limit.If you complete it on time, you will receive a reward, and if you fail to complete it, you will be punished.

Judgment system: After building the Palace of Justice, decisions must be made on various events in the city.Each trial offers two options, with different consequences.

Health system adjustment: We have carried out major reconstruction of residents' health mechanisms, and the health status will be determined by two major factors:

Health status: Residents may die from natural or violent events (such as murder, rebellion).If the corpse is left on the street for a long time, it will reduce the city's health value.Please make sure the morgue covers all residential areas to keep the streets tidy.

Residential Health: Ensure that the residence is within the coverage of the repair building and medical center to maintain a high level of health.

Optimization of the Gods System: Based on player feedback, we have made two major adjustments to the Gods interactive mechanism:

Temple and Priest System: New buildings can automatically hold gods ceremony and give priority to the gods you need most.

Restricted sacrifice mechanism: Sacrifices can only be performed when the faith value is extremely low, preventing the abuse of pigs as resource loopholes.

Wonderful Building System: Three new wonder buildings with a large scale and magnificent appearance can enhance the city's attractiveness and prosperity.

New combat simulation mode: Now each battle can be selected to "simulate" instead of personally manipulated, and the victory probability bar is displayed based on the participating troops, and the battle situation is reasonably evaluated.

Added a new achievement system.

Added language support: Added Polish and Catalan.

Optimize convenience for various other gaming experiences.

System optimization and technical improvement

We have listened to the feedback and suggestions of many players and deeply optimized and improved the multiple underlying systems of "City of Gods" to ensure that the game can run smoothly on everyone's PC:

Environmental details optimization: add two levels of LOD to elements such as trees and rocks to reduce the polygon load when viewing.

Model mesh optimization: reduce the number of polygons of characters and objects, reduce GPU usage, and the visual quality is not affected.

Faster loading time: Reconstruct data reading logic, significantly shortening loading time.

Memory optimization: reuse allocated memory to avoid frequent creation of junk data and prevent overloading of resource recycling systems.

Building search cache enhancement: The cache system is further optimized to perform high-load search logic only if necessary.

Reduce cache failure: Fix multiple cache failure situations to make them more durable and stable.

Optimize algorithm structure: replace or avoid high overhead processing flow.

Disable unused material effects: Turn off the shader function that is not used but occupies the GPU.

Passing data by reference: The key method is optimized to pass parameters by reference, avoid unnecessary data replication and improve CPU performance.

Long-distance animation optimization: no longer playback of sound events that are far away from the player's perspective and will not be heard, thus saving resources.
