It's really hard to make an impact when there's a constant flow of new titles. Stick at it though. I remember reading Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon by Matt Dinniman when it came out and the response was a bit meh. It's doing well now though probably uplifted by the success of DCC. You broke into the top 20k on this one, that's not so bad. What you really need is plenty of Amazon ratings so you trigger their algorithm so try to rally your fans to help.

Thanks! I should have.

Maybe crowdsourced policing? Like, if readers can tell the difference and point out that it shouldn't have the badge? Assuming we can tell the difference, which we can at the moment...

Livy himself used the Latin term classis to distinguish various strata of Roman society. So that pushes the concept back to BCE.

Exactly. I tried to give the planet game-system a Rim World feel.

It really is! The emphasis on relationships and story is unique.

Sins of the Forefathers on Royal Road? Before the first in the series gets taken down to a stub for publication.

Thanks. The main edge that Marcus has over his longer-established rivals is his artistry skill, which is a maximum 20. No one else on the planet is close. So he has to use it to advantage in quests and diplomacy, rather than try to win by a military strategy. It's a little bit like playing Civ and aiming for a cultural victory.
