About

An independent handbook for the ludus

What this site covers

The site focuses on the decisions a Dominus actually makes: which slave to buy, how to split training time, when fatigue makes an arena contract too dangerous, how morale changes a fighter's behaviour, and what to buy before the Grand Tournament. Every guide is written around a playable decision rather than a restatement of the store description.

How the guides are researched

Material is checked against the official Steam store page, the developer's patch notes and announcements, public achievement data, and footage from the released build. Statements that come from the game interface are marked as observed; strategy that goes beyond the visible numbers is marked as inference. Where a value is uncertain, the guide says so instead of inventing a formula.

Updates

Dominus Gladiatus is a newly released game and its systems are still being patched. Pages are dated in the article header, and mechanics that change in a patch are revised rather than quietly left stale. If you find a value that no longer matches your build, send the page URL and a screenshot.
