Update v2.0.0: New Game Mode — Imperium

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A major update adding the new Imperium game mode.

[New Game Mode: Imperium]

All Steam Mode rules, plus the declaration command "Imperium". The mode is added to mode selection at game start and becomes the default.

- You can declare Imperium once you have grown into a great power while multiple enemy factions remain (2-4 in area campaigns, 3-5 in the grand campaign)

- After the declaration, all alliances dissolve, no further pacts or overtures can be made, and the only victory left is complete unification before the deadline

- After the declaration, the realms unite against you — while your own mobilization accelerates and you can run up to five marches at once

- Lieutenant seats open after the declaration. Lieutenants bolster your soldiers and domestic affairs each turn, and can be dispatched to your battles

- Cornered enemy factions may offer their surrender

- See the new "Imperium" chapter in the in-game manual for details

[Achievements]

- Added 2 new achievements

[Manual]

- Added the "Game Modes" and "Imperium" chapters

[UI & Misc]

- Officer loyalty is now color-coded, and number text on some UI elements has been enlarged

- The difficulty icon is now always visible during play

- Raised the overall BGM volume

- Fixed an issue where some UI images did not follow a language change while hidden

We will continue to make adjustments based on your feedback.
