Hero of Cultures

1. What is included in Early Access?

Hero of Cultures is free to play: online RTS matchmaking (1v1, Battle Front Random), games against the AI and LAN games, with your culture drawn at random, plus the Spartakos arena. Heroes lead armies of up to 100 units in 10 groups, with a strategic 2D map view and fog of war. The Spartakos DLC adds choosing the Roman Republic and the Gladiators, online lobbies, the Spartakos third-person adventure (in development) and Roman and Gladiator gear for your hero. DLCs need an internet connection to verify the purchase.

2. What is the current state of the product?

The core battle game is playable: deploy your army, command your groups and hero, and fight online or against the AI. Campaigns, more civilizations, maps and modes are still in development, and balance and features will keep changing. Expect some rough edges.

3. Will I have access to the product during the entire Early Access phase?

Yes. The game is free and stays playable through Early Access and the full release. A DLC you buy is yours to keep, with every update it receives.

4. How long is the product in Early Access?

We expect about a year. We will update this page if that changes.

5. How often do you update the product?

We plan regular updates, roughly every few weeks, with fixes, balance changes and new content.

6. Is my progress saved between updates?

Yes. Your profiles, heroes and settings are kept between updates.

7. Will the price be different during and after Early Access?

The game stays free. DLC prices may rise at full release as more content is added; buying a DLC during Early Access gets it at the lower price.
