Tutorial

Centurion is a self-paced productivity roleplaying game inspired by Ancient Rome. The game helps you organize and keep track of your goals and tasks. The Gloria leveling system is designed to gamify productivity, create better habits, and build discipline while achieving your objectives. As you go through the game and accomplish your in-real-life goals you will gain or lose Gloria (XP), earn new Titles, unlock new milestones, and find and use various items. Your success will be determined by the ambition of your goals and the determination to keep working at them.

Your journey starts with a Mandate or Mandata. A Mandate is the mission you assign yourself. It can be a quick class or work project, a month's long objective, or a yearlong personal goal. You can make it as vague or as specific as you want. Assign yourself a Mandate and work towards it by completing various related Tasks until you can truthfully say that you have completed it.

Name & Description

Start with a name for your Mandate. Do you want to start a business? Launch a YouTube channel? Pass a final exam? Get a better-paying job? Add an optional description for your own reference.

Category & Color

Pick a category from the list or create your own. Click Edit categories inside the form to add, rename, or delete categories and assign a color to each one.

Due Date

Assign a due date for your Mandate. The longer the duration, the more Gloria you can earn. If you do not complete the Mandate by the due date you will not receive the Gloria reward or loot boxes. The next time you open the Dashboard after the due date passes, a popup will appear asking you to resolve it — complete it, accept a penalty, or reschedule to a new date. You can also edit the due date at any time from the Mandate card to extend it before it expires.

Gloria Reward

The Gloria Reward is the experience you earn upon completing the Mandate. Use the suggested amount or adjust it based on the importance and urgency of your goal. It cannot exceed the cap set by your chosen duration.

The Mandate Card

Once created, your Mandate appears at the top of the Dashboard showing its name, category, days remaining, and a streak bar. You can Complete, Edit, or Delete it at any time — but for the app to be fully effective, be honest with yourself.

Mandate Streak

Each Mandate tracks its own daily streak — how many consecutive days you have completed at least one linked Task. Every streak day adds +1% bonus Gloria to Tasks on that Mandate, up to a maximum of +100% at day 100. Missing a day resets the streak, so try to complete at least one linked Task each day.

Equipping a Wearable item shifts the streak bonus upwards from the start — so even on day 1 you begin with a meaningful bonus rather than +1%.

Mandate Limit

You can have up to 12 active Mandates at once. The counter next to the Mandates heading shows your current usage. Complete or delete existing Mandates to make room for new ones.

Today Mandate

The Today duration option creates a quick daily mandate that is only active for the current day. If it goes unfinished, it silently archives itself overnight — no overdue popup, no Gloria penalty. It does not award a loot box on completion, even though other Mandate durations do. Use it for loose daily intentions that do not warrant a multi-day commitment.

Milestones

Milestones let you break a Mandate into up to 5 sub-goals. Click the + Milestone button on any Mandate card to add one. Only a name is required — you can optionally add a due date (which should fall before the Mandate's due date) and a short note.

Each completed Milestone rewards 25 Gloria plus any active weapon, set, and consumable bonuses. Completing at least one Milestone in a day also unlocks the Omnes Viae Romam Ducunt daily achievement (+20 Denarii).

The Mandate's COMPLETE button is locked until every Milestone is either completed or deleted. You can edit, delete, or add notes to any Milestone directly on the card.

Completing a Mandate

You cannot mark a Mandate as complete while it still has pending Tasks or pending Milestones. All linked Tasks and Milestones must be completed or deleted first. This keeps your records accurate and ensures no loose ends slip through.

Tasks are the daily actions that move your Mandates forward. Every completed Task rewards Gloria and keeps your Mandate streak alive.

Quick Tasks

Add a Quick Task from within a Mandate card or by clicking Quick Task at the top of the Tasks section. Give it a name, set the priority (Critical, Urgent, Moderate, or Low), choose whether it is due Today or Tomorrow, and optionally link it to a Mandate. Gloria rewards by priority: Critical +20, Urgent +15, Moderate +10, Low +5.

Schedule Task

To schedule a Task with a specific date and time, click the Schedule Task button or use the + button on any future date in the Calendarium.

• When scheduling for today, past times are grayed out — only future time slots can be selected.
• Repeating Tasks (Daily, Weekdays, Every Other Day, Weekly, Monthly) automatically create the next occurrence when you complete one.
• Add a short note (up to 200 characters) to any Task by clicking the add note button on the Task card.
• You can edit or delete any Task at any time.

Lock In

Click the lock in button on any Task card to enter a distraction-free focus session. Choose a duration from 5 minutes up to 3 hours — the screen darkens and only that Task and a countdown timer remain visible.

• Pause or resume at any time without losing your timer.
• Minimize to a small floating widget in the corner so you can work in other apps or browser tabs while the timer runs.
• When the timer ends you can mark the Task as complete — earning the normal Gloria reward plus a +10 Gloria discipline bonus — or simply exit and leave the Task in your queue for later.

Events are schedule-only items — team meetings, interviews, exams, appointments, or any real-world commitment with a fixed date and time. Unlike Tasks, Events do not award or deduct Gloria. They exist purely to keep your schedule visible alongside your Mandates and Tasks.

• Click Set Reminder next to the task buttons to create one. The form is titled Set Reminder.
• Set a name, priority level, date, optional time (picked with AM/PM arrows), and an optional reminder window.
• The reminder defaults to at the time of the event — change it if you want an earlier heads-up.
• Enable Email Reminders in Settings to receive an email at reminder time.
• If an event is happening within the next hour, its card turns red and pulses with a Due Soon badge.
• Link an Event to a Mandate to keep related commitments grouped together.
• Repeating Events (Daily, Weekly, etc.) automatically create the next occurrence when dismissed.
• Events appear in the Events filter tab in the Tasks section, in the All Week view, and in the By Mandate view.
• Events also show on the Calendarium in a distinct colour so they stand out from Tasks and Mandate deadlines.
• When an Event is done, click DONE to dismiss it. No Gloria change.

The Weekly Campaign is a time-block planner on your Dashboard that lets you map out the week ahead in 30-minute slots from 6 AM to 11 PM. It always shows the 2 days behind today and 5 days ahead, giving you a rolling 8-day planning window. A live red line marks the current time on today's view.

Placing Tasks

• Drag method — drag a task chip from the tray at the top directly onto the time slot where you want it.
• Slot method — hover over any future slot and click the golden + that appears.

Overdue Timing

If a task is assigned to a Weekly Campaign block, the overdue penalty triggers at the end of that block — giving you the full window to complete it.

When you are finished for the day, click the 🌙 Done for the Day button below the Tasks header.

• The button is only available once you have secured your daily streak — completed 5 Tasks today, or used a Witch's Brew.
• You will see a summary of your total Gloria earned and Tasks and Mandates completed today.
• Any Tasks still due today can be pushed to tomorrow — no reschedule penalty applies for tasks moved through Done for the Day.
• Going above and beyond in a single day may earn you awards and Denarii — claim one before you close out.
• Using this button is optional but a good habit to close out your day cleanly.

Gloria is your experience points. Every completed Task and Mandate earns you Gloria. Progress from Pleb all the way to Augustus across 100 levels.

• Equipping a Weapon boosts all Gloria you earn by a percentage.
• Mandate streaks add a daily bonus on top.
• Gloria can also be lost — failing to complete overdue Tasks and Mandates incurs a one-time Gloria penalty.
• If your Gloria total drops below your current level threshold, you will be demoted.

Daily Streak & Gloria Boost

Complete 5 Tasks in a single day to secure your daily streak. Once secured, every Task you complete for the rest of that day earns a +50% Gloria bonus. The streak progress bar in the Centurion panel shows your count. Reach 5 and it turns green — all subsequent Tasks that day are boosted.

• The Witch's Brew consumable adds 3 tasks toward the daily count — use it to secure the streak with only 2 completed tasks.
• Securing the streak also unlocks the Done for the Day button and waives all reschedule penalties for the rest of the day.

Leveling Up

Leveling up is manual. When you have enough Gloria, a Level Up! button appears in the sidebar. Each level-up awards you a random Consumable item.

Titles

Titles change every 5 levels. When you reach a new title, a New Title! button appears in the sidebar. Claim it to receive a reward — Denarii or a loot box.

Providentia is a quiet, personal space on its own Providentia page — somewhere to write down your goals, your ideal life, and what inspires you. There's no rush and nothing to fail; come back to it whenever you feel like reflecting. The more you fill in, the more it starts to look like a roadmap of where you're headed, and you can turn any of it into a Mandate whenever you're ready.

The Calendarium shows all your Tasks, Events, and Mandate deadlines laid out on a monthly calendar.

• Repeating Tasks and Events are projected forward so you can see every future occurrence at a glance.
• Mandate deadlines appear in red so you never miss one.
• Events appear in a distinct colour alongside Tasks.
• Click any day that has items to see the full list of Tasks, Events, and Mandates due on that date.
• Click the golden + on any future date to quickly create a Scheduled Task for that day.

The Arca is your inventory — the place where you keep all the trophies collected throughout your campaign. It holds up to 20 items.

• Earn a loot box directly by completing a Mandate on time, or by buying one in the Shop.
• Hitting a Task milestone (every 25 Tasks), a daily streak threshold, or a big task-volume day instead earns a Battle ticket — see Battle below.
• Each box gives one random item: Basic, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, or Mythical.
• Selling an item returns Denarii — higher rarity items are worth more.

Equipment Slots

• Weapon — adds a flat % bonus to all Gloria earned. Higher rarity = larger bonus (Basic +5% … Mythical +50%).
• Shield — reduces Gloria lost from penalties. Basic 10%, Uncommon 20%, Rare 30%, Legendary 50%, Mythical 70%.
• Wearable — raises the starting point of your Mandate streak bonus.

Battle tickets are fought, not opened. From the Dashboard's ⚔ Fight banner, choose which enemy to challenge — your choice decides both the loot odds and your chance to win.

• Each enemy shows a Chance of Victory — from Nigh Impossible up to Near Inevitable — computed live from your level, equipped gear, and active potions.
• Tougher enemies guard better loot but are far harder to beat at low levels. There's no level lock — just steep odds, so the choice (and the risk) is yours.
• Win — Claim Trophies to reveal your loot box, plus Gloria (boosted by your equipped Weapon).
• Lose — Retreat to fight another day, at the cost of some Gloria (reduced by your equipped Shield), and your win streak resets to zero.
• Equip a full Item Set or drink a Battle-boosting potion (Spartan Milk, Elixir of Mars) beforehand to raise your odds.
• Every win earns the Ad Victoriam! award (+50 Denarii). Win 10 battles in a row without a loss to also earn Roma Invicta (+200 Denarii) — it can be earned again every 10-win streak.

Certain items belong to named sets. Equip all three pieces (Weapon, Shield, Wearable) of the same set to unlock a powerful Set Bonus on top of individual item bonuses. Each item card shows Part of X Set · y/3 so you always know how close you are.

The bonus boosts your win chance in Battle — Uncommon +5%, Rare +10%, Legendary +20%, and the Mythical Achilles set makes you nearly unbeatable at 99%.

Denarii is the in-game currency shown in the Centurion panel on your Dashboard.

• Earn +1 Denarii for every Task you complete.
• Claim 100–200 Denarii as a title reward when you reach a new title.
• Sell items from the Arca to receive Denarii.
• Spend Denarii in the Shop to buy a specific item or loot box.
• Demotion from a Gloria penalty never costs Denarii — only Gloria is affected.

The Shop lets you spend Denarii on a curated selection of specific items or Consumables. Not every item is available here — many are loot-box exclusive. The Shop is for when you want something specific and are willing to grind Denarii for it.

Consumables are single-use items that grant temporary or instant effects. Buy them from the Shop once you reach Level 10, then use them from the Arca. No longer want one? You can sell it back from the Arca for a portion of what you paid.

• Gloria Boost — increases all Gloria earned from Tasks for a set duration.
• Gloria Protection — blocks a portion of Gloria penalties from overdue items.
• Battle Win Boost — increases your win chance in Battle for a set duration.
• Streak Protection — extends the number of days your streak is protected against resets.
• Witch's Brew — instantly adds 3 tasks toward your daily streak count. Use it to secure the streak with only 2 completed tasks.
• Druid's Elixir — adds 5 days to your streak counter. Awards Battle tickets for every 10-day threshold crossed (and extra tickets for the day-100 reward, if reached).
• Sell Boost — doubles Denarii received from selling items for 1 hour.

When a Task or Mandate goes overdue, a popup appears on the Dashboard requiring you to resolve it.

At-Risk Window

All-day Tasks get a 24-hour grace period after their due date before the overdue popup fires. During this window the Task card shows an amber border and an At risk badge — you still have time to complete it with no penalty.

Overdue Popup Options

• Complete Task — awards full Gloria, no penalty. Use if you finished but forgot to click Complete.
• Not Completed — the item is deleted and a one-time Gloria penalty is deducted.
• Reschedule — pick a new due date. A small Gloria cost applies from the second reschedule onward (first is always free).
• Extend Deadline (Mandates only, one time per Mandate) — pushes the due date forward at a small Gloria cost, cancelling the penalty. Forfeits the on-time completion loot box.

Overdue Penalty Amounts

• Overdue Task: −Gloria based on priority (Low −10, Moderate −25, Urgent −40, Critical −50).
• Overdue Mandate: up to 25% of the Gloria Reward, capped at 500 Gloria.
• A Shield reduces the Gloria lost from any penalty.

Demotion Floor

Penalties can never drop you below the first level of your current title. Your title is permanent — no penalty can take it away.

Reschedule Cost

Moving any Task to a later date — whether through the overdue popup or by editing the task directly — deducts a small amount of Gloria based on priority, but only from the second reschedule onward. The first time you reschedule any given Task is always free.

• Low priority: free
• Moderate: −5 Gloria
• Urgent: −10 Gloria
• Critical: −20 Gloria

The reschedule cost is waived entirely if your daily streak is already secured (5 tasks completed today). Tasks pushed via Done for the Day are always free. An equipped Shield reduces the cost the same way it reduces overdue penalties.

Dormant Mandates

If no Task linked to a Mandate is completed for 7 or more days, it enters a ⚑ Dormant state — the card fades and the per-mandate streak resets to zero. Complete any linked Task to restore it instantly. No Gloria is charged for inactivity.

Historia is your activity log — a complete record of every Gloria transaction. Use it to review your productivity over time and see which Mandates are generating the most progress.
