I feel like we need a FAQ or something
1. Each slave has two types of resistance to any act you request. The first is her cultural resistance. For example, Romans do not have a strong same-gender taboo, but they do have a moderate to strong opposite gender nudity taboo. Then she also has her personal taboos. The personal can be strong and reinforce a cultural taboo, or weak and undermine that taboo.
2. Each person you interact with has a mood. In the case of slaves in the bordello, this is mostly controlled by the conditions you set for her. Is she fed, housed, clean, clothed, protected? Those variables are controlled by the spending of the madam. You need to succeed in the questions with the slave to understand her mood.
3. Her mood is also impacted for at least a week by how often and how severely you have beaten her.
Your ability to win the mini game is impacted by her mood and her taboos.

Your FATHER is dead. Your mother is alive.Since your parents are dead and you don't have any children or a brother, that leaves a sister.
There will be more conversations and interactions (not the sexual ones) with the slaves in the future releases than in the actual release? There will be some kind of "plot" or "story" with the slaves? I think it would be great for the game that the slaves were real characters, not just "assets" to manage in the brothel that respond well if are well fed and treated, as cats or dogs.
Also it wouldn't make sense otherwise. In the MC's absence, sister was left in charge. If mother would have been alive, she would have been in charge instead.

Yeah, that "succeed in the questions" I feel to be very "videogamey".
Especially considering Fasti is Roman in origin, so our MC going "You weren't able to understand clearly" is a bit "EH?"
It would be easier to swallow in future, foreign slaves, to whom you have to teach Latin first, not to the first slave (who is Roman in origin).
Not to mention that it (mostly) amounts to either succeed and gain a bonus to... something, fail and lose... some stat, fail and nothing happens and you just wasted time.
Why did we even stop ancient rome?
Training Persian slaves and looking down on the plebs is a pastime of the true patrician taste

I have now.
In the text, it's mentioned that Marcus leaves the legion with 600.000 Sestertii.
However, in the game, I have only 60.000 Sestertii (10x less).
I'm sure you researched this properly, but 600.000 Sestertii would have been a shitload of money (very roughly 410 annual salaries for an unskilled worker)...

Yeah, that's incorrect. Thanks for catchingI have now.

So how much is it? 60k or 600k?
If it's 600k, I have to find some possibility to enlist myself. :test:

Yeah, I need to rework that section - it should be more like 'Fasti mutters a reply that you can't quite make sense of"

Loved the art, also everything else looks very promising. Will watch this one closely, thanks for the high quality work and good luck.
