World & Ludus

The story runs from your first bout to the last name on the wall. Around it sits the ludus you build, the provinces you fight over and the unglamorous work that pays for all of it.

Provinces are taken and held by ludi. You can only attack a province that borders one you already hold, so the map is a campaign rather than a lobby.

Work

Work is the reliable, unheroic income. Short shifts pay best per hour but need you at the keyboard; long ones trade rate for convenience.

Shift	Length	Efficiency	Stat gain chance
⏱ Short Shift	15 min	100%	5%	Best pay per hour. But you have to keep clicking.
☀ Half Day	1 h	90%	12%	A good compromise between pay and convenience.
🌅 Full Day	4 h	80%	25%	Go grab lunch. Come back - the money is waiting.
🌙 Double Shift	8 h	70%	40%	You sleep, you earn. Slightly less per hour.
📜 Weekly Contract	24 h	60%	60%	Forget the game for a day. Best shot at a stat.
