- Patch 1.05.00 - 8 August 2026
Gameplay Fixed a bug that prevented flood and fire disaster events from triggering. Fixed several bugs in Story Mode, especially in the Britannia campaign, where it was impossible to leave the island. Fixed a dead end in the bribe storyline when you didn't have enough money. Bug Fixes Construction sounds on simple houses still played when disabled. Aqueducts could not always be built on map 8. The circus was placed in the wrong position after being built. Various corrections to the Spanish translation. Sandbox achievements did not unlock. Text size was too large in flooded areas. The save function did not always save all data (e.g. diagram data, salaries).
- Patch 1.04.07 - 11 July 2026
Performance & Optimization The movement animations of the NPCs have been optimized. NPCs that are not visible are no longer animated, which significantly reduces the load on the GPU. The shadow casting of the NPCs has been optimized to save on performance. Furthermore, following the same principle as in the last patch, textures have been optimized and their size reduced (without visible loss of quality) in order to optimize RAM usage. Optimizing the shadow casting of small decorative objects resulted in a noticeable performance gain. The LODs of numerous buildings have been optimized. As a result, RAM usage decreases and the GPU is relieved. All of these optimization measures become noticeable when building medium and larger cities (between 10% and 30% depending on the map). Balancing Adjustments to building maintenance costs Difficulty easy: 60% less consumption Difficulty normal: 60%…

- Build your own authentic empire in Pax Augusta, a Roman city building game - 13 March 2025
We've all been guilty of 'I could have done that better.' With the benefit of hindsight we could have avoided two World Wars, saved Pompeii from ruin, and probably brokered world peace by now. If you've ever wondered what the Roman Empire would have been like under your command, then Pax Augusta is perfect for you. Tasked with building your own state that's grand enough to rival the seat of power itself, it takes all of the mechanics of city builders like Cities Skylines and the historical authenticity of Manor Lords and transports it into a familiar yet foreign setting.
