To close out, we looked at how Imperator simulates the collapse of the Roman Republic. acoup.blog/2024/08/31/c...

We're starting our look at Paradox Interactive's ancient grand strategy game set during the rise and collapse of the Roman Republic by looking at how it presents the army structure and diplomacy of the era. acoup.blog/2024/07/19/c...
unlabelledView post →I just want Livy-loving Roman historians who don’t play video games to know that a video game, Imperator: Rome, actually has a devotio mechanic where the player can sacrifice their faction leader for boons.
unlabelledView post →This week on the blog: More Imperator! We continue our look at @PdxInteractive's ancient grand strategy game by discussing what the game thinks of the rise of cities during the Hellenistic period - why were cities built and who were they for? acoup.blog/2024/08/09/c...
unlabelledView post →Imperator Rome. It still had a ways to go, but if I could wave a magic wand and give any game that got a full release and then was later abandoned a few more years of dedicated support, it would be that one.
unlabelledView post →“Don’t let a win get to your head or a loss to your heart.” A coworker said that to a bunch of us 20 years ago, almost to the day, when I first experienced the cancellation of a game I’d worked on (Imperator). It’s a @chuckdpe.bsky.social line, but we let it slide because we needed to hear it.

unlabelledView post →Inauguration Day... In Star Citizen? Did you know Star Citizen players voted for Imperator Laylani Addison in 2950? UEE citizens vote every 10 years. Imagine in-game events with city ads, voting booths, and real consequences like altering armistice rules. What if elections happened every 2 years?
unlabelledView post →Facebook has reminded me that six years ago I was in Bath for a press preview hands-on for Imperator: Rome, a game that I have a lot of affection for. We don't a lot of on-site hands-on for media now - digital events have proven very effective and low cost. It was good fun though.

unlabelledView post →so talking to @mrbtx.bsky.social last night got me into Imperator: Rome's Invictus overhaul mod and holy shit. they fixed it. they fixed the game. it's way more playable with this mod not only than it was at launch but more than literally any other post-EU4 paradox game

unlabelledView post →- I have way too many hrs in Civ 6 - wtf, Imperator is my 3 most played game?
unlabelledView post →I've only seen that handled by the Crisis of the Third Century mod for Imperator, and that only pops up quite late in the game. Of course, it's mostly for the purpose of mega campaigns, but still.
unlabelledView post →Expected Imperator Rome to be really confusing and hard at first like how it usually is when i try to learn a new paradox game but no it’s literally just Roman eu4

unlabelledView post →As a Star Wars Unlimited player, I thought there was a mono-black Imperator in the game, but it seems like we only have bi-color ships
unlabelledView post →I'd agree with this if they hadn't abandoned Imperator I relatively quickly after release. Like even with EU5, their ostensible flagship, development is a mess and patches swing the game wildly, can PDX even pull off Imperator II at this rate?
unlabelledView post →(EU5 seems to have turned out pretty ok?) but man Imperator was such a big bite to take for a new title paradox game
unlabelledView post →Buying Imperator Rome and being excited about years of support only for them to pull the plug when the game got a good update sucks ass too
unlabelledView post →My review looking at the early version of Imperator: Rome (through patch 1.2) is up. It's a great subject, and a better game than EU: Rome, but launched as a bit of a mess. An under-appreciated part is that you get a look at the later fights between the diadochoi. Review: www.rindis.com/blog/8952
unlabelledView post →Yeah there are definitely risks, another is too many people wait for expansions so the game never gets big enough to get the expansions — the Imperator Rome problem
unlabelledView post →In the Imperator Rome video game, if you host some games, and your ruler is old enough, and decided to compete, this is what they have to do.
unlabelledView post →I did one blind playthrough of the game (several versions ago) and ran into this at the end after doing absolutely no violence the whole campaign. It really soured me on it such that I haven't gone back even years later after playing EU4 and Imperator extensively.
unlabelledView post →I also mostly do the 2nd. Not sure if I was influenced by a voiced video game saying it that way or not. If we’re in a setting where other destroyers are named in a Latin way, like Imperator, Venator, etc. that can sometimes influence me to say Executor the first way.
unlabelledView post →Imperator was their last great game
unlabelledView post →Been playing the underloved Paradox game Imperator: Rome lately and I enjoy it. I love how mission-driven it is. Currently playing as Rome and doing a decent job for having not played it in years. Currently taking advantage of the fact that Macedon split in half to carve off some chunks.
unlabelledView post →Each of them has that one signature mod that once you play it, vanilla is unplayable forevermore, like: HOI4 - Kaiserreich EU4/5 - Abennar CK3 - Game of Thrones Vic3 - Morgenrote Stellaris - Gigastructures Highly recommend them all. The exception is Imperator Rome, never play that game.
unlabelledView post →If you are interested in playing Europa Universalis V, rethink your life and go play Imperator: Rome. It is the only* good game Paradox interactive have ever made! You surely will not regret playing Imperator: Rome
unlabelledView post →I honestly feel like Johan was able to leverage auteurship to be like "pdx just trust me with these resources" and he's made a game that appeals to like... the people who saw the vision with Imperator, and promised nested tooltips would make them gen-appeal. And beyond that, did not simplify.
unlabelledView post →I at a halloween party I once beat out a semi-professional cosplayer impeccably dressed as a character who I think was from a Star Wars video game. I was in my janky and homemade (but also detailed and immediately recognizable) Imperator Furiosa costume I made that week. Apparently she was mad.
unlabelledView post →It's somewhat embarrassing being obsessed with a game. It's far more embarrassing being obsessed with an abandoned game that got middling to bad reviews. It's Imperator Rome. Whenever I'm not playing it I'm thinking about playing it.

unlabelledView post →At least they eventually fixed Imperator. It's a great game now, especially with the Invictus mod.
unlabelledView post →Nah Imperator Rome fucks. Maybe this could be your gateway game into Total War Rome lol
unlabelledView post →EU5 literally has the same mission mechanic as Imperator, with mission trees selectable based on conditions, though. They just aren't used in the base game except as a form of tutorial. Ideas were melded into advances, so that's an option too
unlabelledView post →Currently playing Imperator Rome bc I grew tired of Hoi4, and damn, maybe this game wasn´t that bad even if I hate to guts eu4. Heraclea Pontica to Achaemid Empire currently goes relatively well, I have already conquered all of the black sea coast and in a war with Pontus, which I hope to win :D
unlabelledView post →Meh, Undertale was beautiful, and I look forward to giving RDR2 a go. Battlefield 3 is a gorgeous game, and the multiplayer for BF4 is great. Hell Let Loose is also an enjoyable new game. Imperator: Rome is abandonware, but relaxing to play.
