Super fun fact i found out today: At the beginning of Helvetia, you fight 2 enemy groups. One chases you and the other romans hide in the grass. If the player takes longer than 300 seconds to kill the hidden enemies, they will reveal themselves and attack the player! :pogelix:

The game designers probably scripted it this way so kids will be able to progress if they somehow can't find the hidden romans

Filip5011

maybe you can somehow manipulate it for speedruns

Failentin

man, that's super sweet

Failentin

but at the same time, they had no problem making you fight 1000 Romans in Rome without giving any hint you need Twister x)

Jesse Nikulus

Maybe they wanted to put a hint in Beta Rome. :Feelsbadman:

Stinkek

But they didn't, and that's how many childhoods were ruined

Failentin

but when does that timer start? When you enter the fight or when you've beaten all other Romans?

It took me ages to beat the final Greece level as a kid

Herr Epsilon

It's so long, and then there isn't even a checkpoint before the boss

Stinkek

As a kid I mostly played with cheats my father found. I only learned to play the game properly somewhere in my teens I think

Failentin

Yeah, the checkpoint placement is kind of weird and inconsistent in general
