Rome wasn't built in one update.
I pre-ordered this game, and played it at launch. At launch it was horrible virtually unplayable and was extremely empty lacked depth and engagement. Re-installed and played it again a week ago. Cant stop playing it, as a man who loves and studied this era of antiquity history, this game is after many patches and changes finally is shaping up to what was promised and just scratching the surface of its potential. Very promising future and I cant wait to see what comes next. The game right now is very fun and virtually a completely different game then at launch. Give it a try!
At 60 hours in the game, I think I have played it enough to have a reasonable understanding of how it works. I will break this into five pros and ten cons. Pros: 1) It is set in a really fascinating time period. The Wars of the Diadochi and the rise of the Roman Republic is a really cool time, and few games cover the period. 2) The scale is incredible: you can play as a single city-state, and rise to rule an entire continent. It is really impressive, and you feel cool doing it. 3) Land warfare is complex, and that's a good thing. Elephants, chariots, horse-archers... all have pros and cons, and you need to take that into account in wars. Plus you need certain resources to build certain things... don't have horses? Can't train cavalry. 4) Trade is fascinating. You gain bonuses both from importing AND exporting, which is nice. 5) I love the music, and rest of the sound design. When you c
Even as an avid Paradox player, with many thousands of hours of their games played, I sadly cannot recommend getting this game for this price. As of now, the game has many problems: - Too low difficulty. Play as any tiny nation and blob up without really doing much to the point where nothing can challenge you. On my very first attempt I united Britain as the smallest tribe in the region and have a bigger army than anyone else. - Very bad AI - even by Paradox standards - that constantly abandons sieges or runs in circles. Since sieges take a long time, get abandoned instantly by any move-command and cause massive attritions, this is quite bad. The only thing that balances this out, is that your allies are doing the same thing, causing wars to drag out forever. - Very messy User Interface that should not have been passing pre-Alpha. For example: Events refer to persons by their first na
This game has so much potential, and for 99% of the time I'm loving life. I've managed to get a hang of the mechanics, sure they are different to other Paradox games but I like that. In my first game I didn't pay attention to my provinces (Rome obviously) I just wanted to paint the map red. Civil war warning? (Nice the revolt gives me a warning) no worries, I'll deal with that. That was a mistake. My mistake. I got crushed by Severus Scipio and the rest of my annoyed and disloyal senators. My mistake, I'm fine with that, I'll learn. This time I'm paying real close attention to the likes of Scipio, and Julius, and all the rest f the scheming Romans. I'm bribing. I'm making friends. I'm building courts of law to increase loyalty. I'm expanding carefully, I'm sacrificing to the Gods to increase my stability. Yeah it's going good. Real good. I fight Carthage. I lose, no worries, I'll go ea
WILL YOU GIVE THIS ABANDONED PARADOX GAME A SECOND CHANCE? Okay, so if you're here, you're probably wondering if the game is any good. Perhaps you've heard of people calling it one of the worst paradox games back in the day, or perhaps you played it on release and didn't like it. Well, for the longest time, I used to bang on the same drum. I played it on release and wasn't impressed. But things have changed. So, what is Imperator: Rome, why didn't people like it and what changed? Imperator is actually the sequel to a little-known old paradox game called Europa Universalis: Rome. It's kind of a mix between PDX's other titles. It takes the empire management from Europa Universalis, the character interactions from Crusader Kings and the population system from Victoria. It adds a few of it's own twists and packages it up into a game set in classical antiquity. So, that sounds fairly pr
