Imperator: Rome

救救ir！！！！！！！！！！

Please Paradox :( Please make another Imperator: Rome. I miss her so bad...

It hurts to give this a negative review and I've tried multiple times since release to enjoy the game, but it's just not fun. The UI is unintuitive, levy composition will randomly change in the middle of wars which slowly deletes units that were changed, the AI's not good, and overhaul mods are basically essential to have an enjoyable experience. You're better off spending $39.99 elsewhere

Hic ludus perfectus est cuivis amatori aetatum Hellenisticarum et Romae Republicanarum. Modus ludendi optimus est et alliciens. Incipere a Roma optima via est tironibus, ♥♥♥ fere victoriam tibi promittatur. Pugna navalis paulum deficit, sed cetera optima sunt; nihil melius est quam videre Gallia et Hispania Romanas fieri. Ludum eme! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This game is perfect for any fan of the Hellenistic and Republican Rome eras. The gameplay is great and addictive. Starting with Rome is the best path for beginners as its basically guaranteed you'll win. Naval combat is lacking a bit but the rest is great, nothing beats seeing Gaul and Hispania becoming Roman. Get the game!!

My current 11 hours is a result of a few failed attempts to get into the game over the 2 or so years I've had it and my most recent and somewhat successfull attempt to get into it, because as I general rule I'm vehemently against doing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ homework before playing a game and Paradox games in general don't meld with that idea. I only have extensive playtime on stellaris, which I found fairly intuitive, and will be what a compare this to. Paradox gameplay can be summarized as looking at a bunch of spreadsheets and making your colored blob bigger than others, and these spreadsheets be spreading and these blobs be blobbing so I guess nothing to complain about on that front. There's a bit more character management here than stellaris but not to degree of crusader kings, I basically just juggle government offices around in a mix of what's actually the best fits and which family is throwing a wahwahboohoo ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fit. The tutorial, in typical paradox fashion as well, is total dogwater and you're best off just doing a normal game and fumbling about...it'll make some sense at some point (swearsies). Usually you're best off just paying mind to any pop up banners telling you what needs to be done but one thing the game seemingly wants to hide from you is the missions, of which are insanely important for early game expansion and eases the also typical to paradox game mechanic of sitting on some street corner saying "please sir, just a crumb of political influence" Now similar to another strategy game I play, total war: Rome 2, there is a very loud portion of the playerbase that will swear up and down you NEED to mod this game to make it good and just wanna warn anybody from being strong armed into it. The game is just fine as is and if you are thinking about watching guides to ease into it the invictus mod is going to throw those all out the window, imo just for the sake of being different or having more (not necessarily worthwhile). If you want to play some nobody faction or a faction who was a footnote in somebody else's history than by all means get invictus, if you came to Imperator:Rome to play ROME you'll be fine It's a paradox game about what is the most beloved ancient empire (and other people, I guess) which is paradoxically also one of the most underutilized themes for games (There's a reason people still play Total War: Rome 2 despite it lowkey being kind of ass afterall). It would have to do a lot to keep me from recommending it

I so regret that I have been avoiding this game for a long time. Fell victim of all the bad vibes this game has been receiving from the very beginning. It has been very enjoyable 100h so far - fully recommend for everyone who is not afraid of a bit of a steep learning curve in the beginning - it's worth it.

Думав стану Імператором - став заскамленим парадоксами плебеєм. 10 промоклих в вині, розмішаному з водою, контурних карт з 10

Great game, which improved over time. However, upon its release it was very poorly received by players, only receiving a sequel two years after its launch with four DLCs of content. In my opinion, it is currently very undervalued.

Очень даже приличная игра.

Abandoned by Paradox years ago, but the game is still fun nonetheless.
