Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Add a signature visual element—such as a unique UI overlay, supply chain indicator, or narrative vignette—that communicates the god-appeasement or law-enactment mechanics to set Nova Roma apart from generic city-builders.
  2. [brand_consistency] Integrate the character more deliberately into the scene—either through positioning relative to a specific landmark or through a distinctive armor/symbol design that becomes the game's visual signature.
  3. [composition] Consider moving or emphasizing secondary visual elements (flags, UI hints, or resource flows) that reinforce the strategy/management depth without cluttering the core focal point.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add a bulleted or short-paragraph section explicitly listing the core gameplay loops: citizen management, resource transport chains, water/infrastructure engineering, divine appeasement, and expansion strategy.
  2. [uniqueness] Expand the water simulation description to clarify what makes it mechanically novel—e.g., 'the only Roman city builder where weather and hydrology directly shape urban planning and expansion.'
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a single sentence clarifying the playstyle: 'Ideal for sandbox simulation fans who want deep systems over tight narrative progression' or similar, to set player expectations.
  4. [hook_strength] Rewrite the opening to lead with a core tension or moment rather than 'glory at your fingertips'—e.g., 'Build Rome's last bastion by mastering water, gods, and supply lines.'
