Exciting news for fans of the classic strategy game, ROME: Total War on Android—Feral Interactive has just rolled out the massive Imperium Update, significantly enhancing your gameplay experience. If you've been playing this gem since its Android debut in 2018, you're in for a treat with a host of improvements and new features. And don't worry, fans of the standalone expansions Barbarian Invasion and Alexander; your updates are on the way next week!
What Does the Imperium Update Bring to ROME: Total War?
The Imperium Update brings some of the best features from Feral's more recent mobile releases, such as Total War: MEDIEVAL II and EMPIRE, to ROME: Total War. Here's what you can expect:
- New Control Options: Three new control modes—Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection—enhance your command over units, making battles more precise. Now, you can move your army, agents, or fleets simply by tapping and holding, no more dragging paths manually.
- Positioning Mode: Fine-tune your unit placements with ease by tapping and holding.
- Group Grid Feature: Simplify unit group management with a collapsible selection menu.
- Melee Mode: Allow your ranged units to switch to close combat when the situation calls for it.
- Command Slowdown: This significant feature automatically slows down the game when you're issuing complex orders, giving you more control and time to strategize.
- Keyboard and Mouse Support: For the first time, Android and iPad users can enjoy ROME: Total War with keyboard and mouse support, enhancing the gaming experience.
- Redesigned Minimap: Inspired by MEDIEVAL II, the new minimap offers smoother zooming and navigation, along with a reset button for quickly snapping back to the default view.
The Imperium Update is now live, so if you own ROME: Total War on Android, head over to the Google Play Store to install it and dive into the new features. Keep an eye out for the updates coming to Barbarian Invasion and Alexander next week as well.
