Thanks for pointing out the first video had a resolution issue! We've fixed it, and now let's get back to showing off all the new improvements to Imperator: Rome!

Imperator: Rome wasn't built in one update. Jokes aside, despite what the game was like at launch, it looks amazing now. Can't wait to play!

I bought it on steam sale and have been really enjoying it. Nowhere near as bad as everyone says it is. I do hope that PDX start releasing updates again soon though and don't abandon this game completely. This game has so much potential

Hey folks, Surreal here. I often cover games from a story focused perspective so it was an awesome and unique opportunity to create some guides for the upcoming Imperator: Rome update. I hope that you enjoy these videos and they've proved to be informative.

By the dark gods its... its the most realistic and grounded military mechanics since vicky 2...... Not only will levies be tied to pops and cost money to be raised, but they will also directly influence how much money you make and if they die are removed. We have done it people.

This is it. This is the reason I'll try and dive back into this. I really want to like this game. The time period is my bread and butter.

Literally game changing

love the new update and the historical rework.

I love how this makes the game more historically accurate and reduces the amount of cheese that one could use to immediately counter every enemy they would face because of the preferred unit type of certain culture groups.

Like it. Its more dynamic and related to the countrys economy and direction.

Ah man, no more trading for Elephants then throwing out several Elephant forces :(

An objectively good thing.

the first professional roman armies were the Marian Legions, so it's pretty fitting to call it the Marius update

Oh man, this changes everything. Fitting that this update is called Marius!

Friend, I missed the launch completely only got in around Archimedes update (1.3, March of last year) and I love this game. To be fair, it was my first PDX game so I didn't really know what it *should* play like but I've sunk 200 hours into it since then. I implore you to try it again!

Ok, that's comeback as soon as this patch releases

Some Feedback: Legions mechanic should have a culture agnostic name like "Standing Army" or "Professional Army". And then have culture specific names for it such as "Legion" etc. Just seems weird being a Germanic or African nation with "Legions". With that said, looking forward to 2.0!

Legion is not that specific to rome many nations have used it and the Romans and Latins also used it as a generic description for a military unit of a given size. So its not that unreasonable to just call them legions.

I started reading the dev diaries for Marius since the forts rework and loved everything since now I can’t wait till it comes out😃

Freue mich darauf das neue Update spielen, aufnehmen & streamen zu können

Man that music is iconic. Great update too

These tutorials made me believe in I:R again. Just wanna commend the entire team on stepping up and doing something great with the game. Keep it up with developing I:R's unique identity!

My favorite KZreadr

Exciting!

I like these changes a lot.

@Paradox, really enjoying the game now! Thank you so much. A couple of things though: Can't assign monarchs or consuls to lead the legions...and the legions can't be assigned to a given province which would help out alot with stabilising disloyal territories. Please add these features back, they're all that's missing now...

Looks intriguing =3

Totally exciting! When we can expect the next tutorial for warfare?

I got this game thanks to Humble Choice and haven't really delved into it as much as I'd like to, but I'm glad to see it's not dead! I thought Paradox had somewhat abandoned this one since it didn't seem to get the recognition that it should have, but I'm glad I was wrong. Now, if only I could figure out how to be somewhat decent at any Paradox game outside of Stellaris lol

oh those are some great changes!

I really like this, felt like there was not alot of use to intergrating cultures. Now it has more use

Nice to see.

gonna be interessting how it affects garrisons and unrest. i loved spamming light infantry to keep unrest down

TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY

thanks for making sparta have to raise levies. glad i got all this flavour with the Magna Graecia DLC

A lot of good improvements. I've got a lot more ideas for combat and military.

Will give it another try after that update.

This is gonna be sweeeeeeeet

So I noticed that you can change fighting stance in each force levies, does this stack on eachother or does one stance override the other like if one force is in Shock and other is in Envelope witch is being used?

That new UI looks incredible.

HYPE!!

Now I think the game is worth for another try. I will play it again after the update.

I think it's time to finally buy this game.

thanks. Im still confused on how to increase the number of governor/generals and their levy army (the tutorial starts you with 2, how do I increase that?)

That's. SO. Cool.

Surreal hurray 🎉🎉

I'm proud of you guys to take care of this game and actually listen to the community. Thanks a lot

Let's hope this game is good now. if not then we might have to wait until 3.0

hopefully all updates to imperator rome will be ported over to ck3

how do i use my king ( Pyrrhus) as a general?

When you add another time scenario

Fingers crossed that the devs have fixed the crashing problem on MacOS.

It seems similar to crusader king 3 system? I didn't play in a while, but it was good

Oh right, this game existed.

I keep forgetting this game exists.

I wonder how the levies will change the way we play city states. They can't really change much about their forces, just like their neighbors. So I am very curious how early conflicts will play out. I hope it won't just be a question of who got the better ally.

Oh this is complicated.

I'd really appreciate captions.

what is the name of the intro music?

do you still need iron to have heavy inf?

Hey Marius that's me!

song at start?

Can you please tell us when youre going to add chat to lobbies in multiplayer? I have left a bad review specifically for this feature, and I know many others who are very much irked by this. Coming from EU4, what keeps a community alive in the long term is multiplayer, and having no chat means that practically not possible to have a real multiplayer experience. I know a singular mod that exists for this which would require everyone to download it, and so if a modder can create a chat function certainly you guys can.

When?

yes i definitely understand 100% no doubt :(

May fix the lags?

So...hold middle mouse and slide to access the rest of the tech tree...great..unless you use a track ball...what's wrong with holding left and dragging? And before the Wise Ones say.. 'why don't you buy a mouse'...this isn't Flight sim where you use peddles and a flight stick...please fix this...

Are the legions renamed to something else while playing Hellenics for example? If not, then that's sad on my part.

Damn they really fixed the UI now it looks like something

So the army will be like in CK III where you need to raise levies in order to fight and need to be disbanded after a fight? No more permanent troops on the map? Cool!

If only they had RTS battles as an option, so not everything was decided with a dice roll.

👍

Love it for the update, i can't create mega army again 😂😂

So what happend with phalanxes? Now you create legions for Macedon? Or egypt? Or any other Succesor states who's armies were not legions but mosty phalances and hoplites. Where is the ahistorical immersion when everyone forms legions?

Instead of supplying levies with provisions, we can simply "exempt them from starvation" now... Jokes aside, this looks very promising

Based

and, here it ends all the fun of military, now it will take us hours to become slightly more powerful than our neighbours

I am soooooo confused
