Ara: History Untold Revolutions 2.0 Update Content
In terms of content, Ara’s Revolution 2.0 patch comes swinging right out of the gate, introducing fresh culture and influence systems. The former comes in the shape of a quality of life category attached to cities.
It generates influence, “a new currency used to acquire cultural traits and expand territory through claims,” offering “meaningful alternatives to military expansion,” according to the developer.
A new Agitator unit then becomes available via the Revolutions technology found at the end of the Renaissance. It is capable of making adjacent foreign regions rebel and, given enough Influence, even make them a part of your nation.
In addition, Ara: History Untold’s 2.0 Revolutions update gives nations unique units while reworking every leader “with unique mechanics, traits, and abilities, ensuring more replayability and personality-driven diplomacy.”
A new priority and quota crafting system aims to reduce the micromanagement tied to production queues, the AI will respond to player actions in a more dynamic fashion, while map generation is also receiving a notable overhaul.
Lastly, the Ara’s 2.0 Revolutions patch promises “a sharper, scalable UI built for modern displays, with new accessibility and customization options,” alongside performance improvements that should result in faster turns, better frame rates, as well as reduced CPU usage.
That covers what you need to know about Ara: History Untold’s Revolutions 2.0 update, its release date, and the content it brings to the turn-based strategy game. In other strategy game news, Victoria 3’s next update is slated to land one day before Ara’s.
