Update 14 for the city-builder Nova Roma arrives as version 0.7.2278, delivering a set of interface refinements and bug fixes ahead of a larger aqueduct overhaul the team says is currently in internal testing.

What changed

Improvements

  • Selecting a building now highlights all others of the same type for Masonries, Public Toilets, Wells, Fountains, Firehouses, Water Towers, and Tax Offices
  • Overlay behavior and coloring made more consistent across building types
  • Water Tower range is now displayed when placing public toilets and fountains
  • An early Neptune god task has been tuned to be more achievable
  • The Ceres small temple bonus has been strengthened
  • Polish applied to chariot race track crowd behavior and sound effects

Fixes

  • Ships could not be selected at map edges
  • Carts could be assigned routes on a separate landmass
  • The same gladiator could be hired repeatedly
  • Legion recruit and recuperate states were not persisting across save and load
  • Recuperate incorrectly required entirely new weapons
  • Certain sound effects were failing to play in some circumstances
  • A small errant land square was generating on certain map seeds

The save-and-load fix for legion recuperate is particularly consequential for anyone managing prolonged military campaigns, where losing troop-state persistence could quietly distort long-term strategy. The broader aqueduct UI work remains in testing with no beta date stated.
