Feral Interactive Releases Imperium Update for ROME: Total War

ROME: Total War enthusiasts on Android, get ready for a major overhaul with the newly released Imperium Update by Feral Interactive. This substantial free update introduces a suite of gameplay tweaks, refined controls, and quality-of-life enhancements, elevating your gaming experience to new heights. Originally launched on Android in 2018, this classic strategy game now boasts numerous improvements and exciting new features. Fans of the standalone expansions, Barbarian Invasion and Alexander, won’t have to wait long either; their updates are slated to roll out next week.

What Does the Imperium Update Bring to ROME: Total War?

The Imperium Update draws inspiration from some of the standout features found in Feral’s more recent mobile titles, such as Total War: MEDIEVAL II and EMPIRE. Here’s what you can expect:

• New Control Options: ROME: Total War now includes three fresh control modes—Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection. These enhancements provide you with more precise control over your units, making battles more strategic and engaging. For instance, you can now easily move your armies, agents, or fleets by simply tapping and holding, eliminating the need to manually drag paths.
• Positioning Mode: This mode allows for meticulous unit placement with a tap-and-hold mechanism, enhancing your tactical options.
• Group Grid Feature: Managing unit groups is now more intuitive thanks to a collapsible selection menu, streamlining your command process.
• Melee Mode: This feature enables ranged units to seamlessly transition into close combat, offering versatile combat strategies.
• Command Slowdown: A game-changer for complex orders, this feature automatically slows down the game, giving you ample time to make strategic decisions.
• Keyboard and Mouse Support: For the first time, Android and iPad users can enjoy keyboard and mouse functionality, enhancing the gaming experience with familiar controls.
• Redesigned Minimap: Inspired by MEDIEVAL II, the updated minimap offers smoother zooming and navigation, along with a handy reset button to quickly revert to the default view.

The Imperium Update is now available for immediate download on the Google Play Store for all ROME: Total War Android users. Don't miss out on these enhancements! Keep an eye out for the upcoming updates to Barbarian Invasion and Alexander, set to launch next week, to further enrich your gameplay.
