00:04your superior culture.
00:06Or send agitators to stir up trouble in foreign lands.
00:09Take to the battlefield once more with your own unique national military units, experiencing
00:14increased faction diversity and replayability with all new leader traits.
00:18Enjoy less micromanagement with improved stockpile and prioritisation controls.
00:23Face off against improved AI opponents that play the game in a thematic way according
00:27to their own personality traits.
00:29ARA History Untold's massive 2.0 Revolutions update introduces game-changing features
00:35and the most player-requested improvements.
00:37Every great nation throughout history had its own unique culture that exerted great influence
00:41out into the world around it.
00:43And now, in ARA, you can build your own culture and your influence across the map.
00:48Culture is a brand new quality of life category that represents the unique ideas, arts, customs
00:53and social behaviours of the people you rule over.
00:56By cultivating a strong cultural identity in your cities, you'll generate a new
00:59in-game resource and currency called influence which can be spent on cultural traits or to
01:04purchase region claims.
01:07Cultural traits are a new way to customise your nation as you advance through the game,
01:10with many different bonuses on offer to increase your power across the various aspects
01:13of your empire.
01:15For example, if you're focused on building triumphs as a way to win the game, then lasting
01:19glory will double the prestige you get from completing one.
01:22Region claims allow you to purchase new regions with influence, providing a brand new way to further
01:27expand your territory without the need for military action.
01:30This makes playing a peaceful game much more viable and satisfying than before, building
01:34your cities up into hotspots of culture and then using the influence you generate to expand
01:38your borders and increase your power within them.
01:41The effects of influence don't end there.
01:43With the discovery of the Revolutions technology closing out the Renaissance period, a new unit
01:47called Agitators can be constructed and sent out against your rivals.
01:51Once they've infiltrated into a foreign territory, they'll begin to foment trouble, stirring up rebellion
01:56and revolution.
01:57Take regions away from your rivals without ever firing a shot.
02:01In Act 2, this feature unlocks a new form of conquest called Ideological Subversion, opening
02:06up new ways to conquer your enemy in Aura.
02:09Each mighty nation in Aura now features its own unique military unit to add more tactical
02:13depth and flavour to the way they play.
02:15From the majestic, winged hussars of Poland to the noble but terrifying Jaguar warriors of
02:19the Aztec Empire, these unique forces grant your nation a military advantage during a specific
02:24era in history.
02:26Each leader will be more or less strong at various points of the game compared to their
02:29neighbours, and learning how to counter these units when they are in play will be critical
02:32as you plan your own path to victory.
02:35Furthermore, leader traits and abilities have been updated to further differentiate each nation's
02:39playstyle from one another.
02:42Nations have their own unique mechanics added too, to further breathe life and character
02:45into the way they play.
02:47These traits and mechanics are thematic to the nation and leader, ensuring that your games
02:51of Aura History Untold bring new challenges, experiences and memories every single time
02:56you play.
02:57And now, computer controlled leaders will play and react in a believable way as dictated
03:02by their personality traits, allowing you to further tailor the challenges you'll face
03:06and the story you'll write as each budding empire collides on the game map.
03:10One feature that sets Aura apart is its very detailed and extensive resource chain management
03:15and crafting system, which forms the backbone of your economic and industrial development and a catalyst
03:20for exciting diplomacy, trade and even war with your neighbours.
03:23In response to player feedback, we've replaced micromanaged production queues with an improved
03:28automated system that takes the hard work out of resource management.
03:31You can set your improvements and crafters to prioritise production targets, then the AI
03:36will take over and construct just what you need with no further input.
03:39This frees your valuable time and attention to focus on higher level strategic gameplay.
03:43Here are some of the other new and improved features brought to you in the V2.0 Revolutions update.
03:49Moving off of the improvements brought in with version 1.4, we've made further upgrades
03:53to the map generator.
03:55Resources now cluster together in locations and biomes they'd traditionally be found in
03:58to closer mimic real-world distribution, while competing resources will not spawn too
04:02closely together either.
04:04Now dominating a resource can leverage powerful economic and diplomatic benefits to your nation,
04:09and aims to model historical trade and competition for valuable commodities between nations.
04:14A new tier rewards system earns you special buffs and bonuses based on your final tier ranking
04:19at the end of each act, further encouraging you to race against your rivals for the highest
04:22prestige possible.
04:25We've added an optional adaptive AI setting that adjusts the game difficulty up or down
04:28in response to how well you perform in-game.
04:31A new cities panel has been added to the user interface to compare statistics and jump to
04:35any of the cities in your nation, and it'll alert you to any warnings attached to them too.
04:40Sub-regions are now clearly delineated with a dotted line when zoomed in close enough on
04:44the map, meaning your next choice of territory is just a little easier to make.
04:47We've improved overall performance, particularly in the late-game phase, added a resolution-independent
04:52UI that adapts to any screen size and supports high DPI modes, improved support for mods and
04:57the game save system too, and improved text readability and tooltips.
05:01And finally, this patch ships with many bug fixes too.
05:05The Revolutions update unlocks new levels of depth, strategic nuance, tactical excitement
05:10and endless replayability, but there are too many changes to list in full here.
05:15As always, you'll find a link to the full patch notes in the description to this video.
05:19ARA History Untold's 2.0 Revolutions update improves nearly every area of the game.
05:24If you haven't tried ARA, now is a great time to jump in.
05:28With your continued support and feedback, ARA History Untold goes from strength to strength,
05:33and we hope you enjoy this update.
