While the release of Hegemony III is still a little ways off, you can try out some of the improvements now in a new beta for Hegemony Rome. Version 2.2.2 Beta 2 is now available over on Steam and includes a number of refinements ported back from the new game including new ways to select and preview groups, improved targeting for ships, and some streamlining of the rout/capture mechanic.
And check back next week for another progress report on Hegemony III where we’ll get into some more details on the new skill tree, resource trading and the latest units.
