A lot has happened with #Ara recently, there is a lot to update! The latest dev diary focuses on the historical research that goes into the game. GamerZakh talkes to the narrative designer, about how they made sure that the ingame information is correct, how the starting point for Ara was chosen, and which technologies were included.

Last Friday, we were treated to an exciting, and surprising 😮, Game 1. Hammurabi of Babylon won a Domination victory against a heavily favored Kublai Khan of Mongolia. Impressively, Hammy fought off many attempts at assassination only to turn the tide on the aggressors. Churchill did his usual English bit of finishing second 😁.
