DOMINA v1.2.67

fixed - wonky spectators being stretched, green bars across battle screen because we can't have nice things

fixed: naked gladiators (another crippling bug since launch, should be vanquished! never trust an opengl driver when it says it can give you an 8192x8129 pixel texture on shared video RAM hahahaahaha stick to 2048x2048!)

fixed: rope/net/equipment particles slowly floating through the firmament (an oldie but a goodie)

fixed: Gladiator Upgrades: special equipment upgrades should NOT be blocked IF the item is in stock in inventory, just because player doesnt have required employee.

fixed: behemoths should NOT throw guys on his own team from now on...

DOMINA v1.2.66 BETA


  • new: medicus emeritus can train faster heal speed for praesidio trained gladiators, (healing 100k health was too slow.)
  • fixed: naked gladiators (another crippling bug since launch, vanquished! never trust an opengl driver when it says it can give you an 8192x8129 pixel texture on shared video RAM hahahaahaha stick to 2048x2048!)
  • fixed: inventory reset scroll position when selling an item.
  • new: inventory info panel shows [in-stock / owned] now
  • fixed: "inventory full" notification should only happen every 3 days now, insead of spamming each day
  • fixed: rope/net/equipment particles slowly floating through the firmament (an oldie but a goodie)
  • fixed: Gladiator Upgrades: special equipment upgrades should NOT be blocked IF the item is in stock in inventory, just because player doesnt have required employee.
  • fixed: behemoths should NOT throw guys on his own team from now on...
  • note: Domina_Low_RAM.exe has been renamed to Domina_MINIMAL.exe (it is a minimal ram build, but there are a number of performance improvements, not related to RAM hence, name change.)
    ] (if you've had problems running the game previously this is a 'lite' version which works better on a large number of chipsets (*mainly those with shared system/video RAM, which aren't officially supported*))

DOMINA v1.2.65 BETA


  • should be fixed (again fffffffml): Gladiators in the hall of heroes are still asking to be released
  • fixed: gladiator selection / info boxes: HP impediments not correctly displayed!
  • fixed (hopefully... life is suffering. why do bad bugs happen to good people? i dont know.): opponent with -HP in pit fight
  • balancing: chance of a prestige level opponent lowered from [80% after 15 years] to [50% after 15 years] (other restrictions still apply: must be endless game, after 1 year of play, and only if player has Praesidio)
  • fixed: lion attack range too low
  • fixed: prestige AI doesn't detect weapons available for pickup (just stands there)
  • fixed: prestige AI doesn't find new target (just stands there - infinite loop)
  • fixed: domina gfx glitch while defending turns her into a common slave


DOMINA v1.2.63


  • Steam Achievements CURRENTLY DISABLED IN BETA
  • UI update: gladiator info defense/attack training points total and tooltips. attack/defense point breakdown for each piece of equipment now show TOTAL attack/defense for equipment and (in brackets, the equipment's contribution of points, to that total)
  • balancing: gladiators who have private room or train in Hall of Heroes will not appeal for release.
  • new: Doctore Emeritus will auto train gladiators in Hall of Heroes (Doctore still only trains men who are in ludus, not expanded areas)


DOMINA v1.2.61 BETA

Chariot Racing:

  • maximum speed of fully trained gladiator is reduced (prevent max trained dudes from running faster than a horse as fun as that was...)
  • drifting: manually controlled charioteers can now drift while cornering (use ROLL button, SPACE by default)
  • upgraded wheels do increased maximum damage to gladiators
  • fixed: drivers swinging at sagittarius across screen (beacuse they were within the enemie's weapon range derp)

DOMINA v1.2.60 BETA

DOMINA v1.2.60 BETA

  • - fixed: hitpoint/damage indicator misalignment
  • - fixed: spectator drawing error on bottom of screen
  • - STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS ARE STILL DISABLED
  • - Twitch integration should be available again (even in LOW_RAM builds!)


MINIMAL RAM BUILD : Domina_LOW_RAM.exe
If you are experiencing "confetti" graphics with a RADEON chipset, please note this build may be a workaround for that particular issue.
LOW RAM build does the following:

  • loads a smaller set of bitmaps and animations (thus requiring less dedicated/contiguous Video RAM, espically helpful on systems with shared system/video ie: laptops and integrated GPUs which we dont officially support.)
  • loads background arena bitmaps at 50% resoluition (thus requiring less VRAM...)
  • disables "game of life" on background
  • disables drawing chariots, ropes, blood, etc to the background bitmap (see above note, re: confetti graphics on RADEON chipsets)
  • loads only 25% of the crowd (max 250)

DOMINA v1.2.59 BETA

- attempted fix: audio bug - re-triggering loud death note smdh

- balancing: price of 'greater sica' reduced from $1000 to $350

Game Crashes / Invisible Gladiators


Domina_LOW_RAM.exe is now available in the game's installation directory. This version of the game loads minimal spritesheets (some at lower resolution) so that the game will (hopefully) be playable on systems with shared system/video RAM, buggy OpenGL implementations, and/or integrated GPUs.

if you had problems loading the game without crashing, invisible gladiators, or gladiators with invisible equipment, please try running this executable instead.

OTE: unfortunately quitting to menu and loading a new game is still an issue, but this version seems more resilient - after restarting the application, all assets appear to load again.)

DOMINA v1.2.58 BETA

fixed: Travelling herbalist bug - if gladiator is manually healing from button - this event doesnt heal your gladiator

fixed: prestige gladiator training buttons did not disable after Illumination is exceeding 25. wooooops. facepalm.

endless mode: softer ramp to introduce prestige opponents over multiple years

DOMINA v1.2.57 BETA

- fixed: sagitarrius if unarmed could be armed with gladius and then buying a bow would fail and still cost money (a remnant of our failed attempt to give hima side arm, even though slots are maxed out.)

- back again: instant replays generate to C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Domina\replay\ if Game Options > Instant Replay Autosave is enabled.

- fixed: prestige AI targetting lions FIRST

- fixed: prestige opponents should not appear if: the game is not endless, player is less than one year into run, or if the game mode is normal, mild, easy, and the player doesn't have praesidio unlocked.

more difficult opponents will appear on more difficult modes even if you don't have a praesidio unlocked, but on all modes, the more difficult opponents should not appear until after 1 year of endless mode game play.

DOMINA v1.2.55 BETA

fixed: twitch bot should work again

balancing: permanent gladiator impediments - only on Normal / Hard / Pro Gamer modes.

fixed: auto-training not working until gladiator assigned new spot
