As a pretty minor gripe, "That filthy dog! I knew since he was a child that he was a son of Hades!". First of all, in Rome, it would be Pluto. Second, why is Hades always depicted as untrustworthy. He may have been one of the nicest and most genial of the Greek gods. He drew the short straw and got the Underworld, but he was surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Honestly, you'd be better off dealing with Hades than Poseidon or Zeus (excepting the fact that dealing with Hades probably meant that you were dead).

This is a dig at modern media: Tyrannical regimes, real or imaginary, like Trump State, Roman Empire, Persian Empire ... you name it empire always draw the shortest of sticks when it comes to authenticity—in short, Empires get Mocked and Ridiculed. Look at the latest stinkers, like Napoleon and Gladiator II for revisionist mockery depictions of people and events from history.
Deal with it!

On a different note, that was a diss, so it makes sense you would use a foreign god to mock or anger, as opposed to gods you actually believe in - it makes sense a noble would not want to anger a Roman god, but some other foreign god.

Last but not least, Romans had Greek teachers, and they taught Greek customs, history, and ways of the world, possibly even religion, so someone adopting the Greek names and lore into their personality is very much on course with the best education one could get in Ancient Rome.

Disney Hercules had Hades, Dwaine Johnson Hercules has Hades, God of War had Hades, Assassin creed Oddisey had Hades:
- everybody in modern media chose Greek over Roman for the whole story.
Rome gets the Diss.

For most depictions of Hercules, it's really a matter of Hercules having the wrong name. The stories they are telling are typically the Greek version of the myth so his name should be Heracles. All of the other characters are typically correctly named for the setting.

Hello everyone! I just saw that my game was published on F95 and I couldn't reply or talk to you.
First of all I have to tell you that the female (transgender) route is off and I might make a patch for it in the future.
For those who are just looking for Vanila, well, this game isn't about that. The game will be about building a harem and skippable NTR routes.
I hope you like my new game and that you'll enjoy it at least as much as I enjoyed making it.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

As you could have read in the couple of pages back, we are aware of Gladiator, Gladiator 2, Rome the series.
We know the wild misrepresentation in all of those. This game looks like a brave retelling of Gladiator with Rome way of life shown.

We are also aware that Roman citizens fought for what they thought was theirs to take or by right, so NTR should be totally avoidable, preventable, and canonically never supposed to have happened in this game story, as in MC DECAPITATES AND CUTS INTO LITTLE PIECES ANYONE LOOKING TO HURT HIM DIRECTLY OR THROUGH SOMEBODY ELSE. Are you seriously looking to make the MC, ACTING LEGION LEADER, COMMANDER OF SPIES, RIGHT HAND OF THE EMPEROR,
A CUCK???

I understand that everything could be similar to Gladiator or all Roman movies, because there are not many movies made with this theme. I have a deep appreciation for Roman and historical movies, but I don't intend to create a game that is directly comparable to them. My game is a work of fiction and my intention is to maintain that status, as I do not wish to reinterpret the history of Rome or, for that matter, lead anyone to believe that these events actually occurred.
I know that NTR is the most controversial tag on a game, but I have a story to follow and I intended to continue it to the end.
For example, in the next act, the Prince will ask the Mc to share a woman with him, and you will be in charge of that, you will decide if you want that or not. And I have another scene where a friend of the Mc will have to sleep with some women to keep them away from the princess. But even this scene can be avoided from seeing, but it will happen.
So if someone doesn't want to play a game or read a story where other people besides him have sex, or that friend or others ask him to share a woman, then it's them choice and I'm not going to change a game just for a few people who don't apreaciate a good strory.
