Greetings, fellow Celeste players! Here's a quick review of the changes coming to existing Advisors, making them more interesting/viable for players throughout their questing adventures. This includes buffs, reworks, and in a special case, nerf to a particular Advisor!

Here's the list of changes in alphabetical order:

• Development Team's Comment: Alexander could definitely use some love, so we're buffing both of his stats. He's a complete beast of an Advisor now. Gastraphetes have some serious competition now, with him and Grand Engineer Themistokles joining the fray.

• Development Team's Comment: We believe that having Amunet in Age II makes a lot more sense than Age III, but with Chieftain Dumnorix being in the Age II Advisor pool, we feel like there needs to be a bit more of an incentive to pick...

Hello there everyone! We are really excited to tell you that the third set of Legendary Advisors are coming with the next patch! They will be available for everyone at Level 40. Remember, each of the Legendary Advisors benefit only one civilization. Without further ado, let's get into the details, shall we?

• A corn farmer in his youth, Grand Engineer Themistokles decided to put the farming life behind and take on learning mathematics and ballistics, perfecting the Greek Ballista to allow it to fire faster and hit in a bigger area than before. Make way, Gastraphetes! The new Greek Ballistas are here to tear through the enemy armies in Legendary Quests now.

• Joining her sisters, Sekhet's Elephant Whisperer, Hatshepsut's Tusk Sharpener...

Hello there Celeste players!

As we approach the Winter Event, I thought you would like to have a preview of what is coming with the next patch. So let's get into it, shall we?

Since this is perhaps the biggest content update we have ever had in Celeste, I will break it down into question-based sections:

Oh yes! For the Winter Event, we are adding 7 (yes, 7!) new Minigames and 4 new Legendary Quests. Available for a limited time only, these quests offer a unique visual setting for players and new units to play with and against! Find them in the graphics below:

Just like last year, we have new, event-exclusive pieces of Gear! Obtainable via...

As we develop the Romans, each week are revealing them to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology. We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are. This week, we are absolutely thrilled to finally pull back the curtain on one of our most beloved units, the Clinicus. We also will show you the final two Roman Guard Towers.


Every civ in Age of Empires Online provide some way to heal troops (starting in Age 1 with the Persian Aid Tent and the Egyptian Priestess of Ra) and some way to convert them (starting in Age 3). These roles are almost always filled by Priest Units. We touched upon this when we revealed the...

Hey there everyone. As you may already know, the 3rd set of Legendary Advisors are on their way (thanks, Crassus!)

Most civilizations' Advisor artwork is already ready, but for the Persian one, I just can't make up my mind and would like you guys to pitch in and voice your opinion on which color variation for the Advisor that you would like best. Vote below!

Which variation did you pick and why? Let us know in the comments below!

As we develop the Romans, each week are revealing them to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology. We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are. This week, we are discussing the first set of Roman Advisors and revealing the final member of the Roman Triumverate, who joins Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, Marcus Licinius Crassus.

As you may know, these three men formed what is known as the First Triumvirate. Very briefly: In 509 BCE, the Romans overthrew a tyrannical Etruscan king and formed the Roman Republic. During the Republic, two co-equal, annually elected Consuls were held in check by the Roman Senate in some sort of vaguely democratic system. The Republic endured like this for about 500 years.

As we develop the Romans, each week are revealing them to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology. We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are. This week, we are returning to the Capital City and revealing the Roman Gear Hall and the two largest Roman Warehouses.

Unsurprisingly, the Gear Hall is the Capital City building players use to edit their Unit and Building Gear. However, since the main screen has a set button to open the same window, the Gear Hall is a bit redundant – similar to the Treasury. Nevertheless, our Capital Cities would look incomplete without them, so Happy Smurf and Chaos took care to make the Romans one. We...

We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are.

We have six units remaining, and today we are revealing the Eques, which is an Age 3 Cavalry unit and the final true Roman Cavalry unit. We are also going to reveal our Age 4 Town Center and Age 3 Walls.


Early in the Roman Republic, Rome's wealthy soldiers comprised the Cavalry. But as the Romans began to expand, they found their horses to be outmatched. So they emphasized their elite Legionaries and while they never totally abandoned their own cavalry, their strongest units were outside cavalry hired from...

Part 20: Enneris and Roman Warehouses

As we develop the Romans, each week are revealing them to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology. We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are. This week, we are finally revealing the final ship of the Roman navy, the mighty Enneris. We will also reveal the first two Roman Warehouses.


The Roman navy gave us fits, and we have discussed it at great length. So if you would like a deeper dive, here’s a link to Blog #12, when we revealed the Age 2 Liburnian.

You will recall that the original Roman navy included up to six...

Hello there Celeste players! We are back with another Roman reveal blog.

As we develop the Romans, each week we will be revealing the Romans to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology.

After taking a few weeks to prepare for the Halloween Event, we are back and eager to continue revealing our new civ. We have tried to be as transparent as possible on our journey to Rome and your collective enthusiasm and patience have been tremendous.

For the core of the civ, we have so far shown you a total of 17 Buildings and 17 Units. That leaves us with 1 more Building (the Wonder) and 7 more units (one Age 2 unit, five Age 3 units, and one Age 4 unit). Meanwhile, we have at least 23 other Capital City buildings planned, and...

Hello there Celeste players! The Halloween Event is finally here.

Hello there everyone! We are really excited to tell you that the Treasures of the Nile Quest Pack is finally upon us, available for everyone at Level 40!


Aimed at Level 40 players who are looking for a challenge, this Pack brings 8 all-new Quests. Available for solo and co-op play, these Quests offer brand new maps with an all new and refreshing look!

Help drive away the Valley Kings from the lands of Egypt. But who are these Valley Kings, you say?

• Nebkanra, the Legendary Camel Rider: Remember General Setredet from the Summer Event? This is his cousin. Young and ambitious, he has recently joined the Valley Kings and is desperately looking for a chance to prove himself worthy of his colleagues.

• Hamut, the Elephant Archer: Hiding in a golden-plated cabin atop his elephant, he lays waste to his opponent from...

Hello there Celeste players! We are back with another Roman reveal blog.

As we develop the Romans, each week we will be revealing the Romans to you building by building, unit by unit, and technology by technology. We are not just showing you what the Romans will be, but showing you how we are building them, who is building them, and also why we are building them the way that we are.

This week, we are revealing the Decurion, who is a Roman Officer. Since he is the last unit we have revealed who first appears in Age 2, we will recap that moment in the civ, as well. Then we will return again to our Capital City to show you the Embassy.

One feature of the Romans is that they train Officer units, which are an entirely unique type of unit and have their own dedicated Building, the Praetorium. Though we...

This week, we are finally beginning to reveal our Roman Cavalry, starting oddly enough with the Gallic Horseman. We will also return to our Capital City and reveal the three Roman Residences.


Cavalry is strange topic in Roman military history. The Romans had one of the best ground games in world history, but this was almost totally the result of its disciplined and fierce infantry...
