Feral Interactive Releases Imperium Update for ROME: Total War

Exciting news for fans of the iconic strategy game, ROME: Total War, now available on Android! Feral Interactive has just rolled out the massive Imperium Update, enhancing gameplay with a variety of tweaks, control improvements, and quality-of-life features. If you've been enjoying this classic since its Android debut in 2018, you're in for a treat with these updates. The good news doesn't stop there—standalone expansions Barbarian Invasion and Alexander will also receive this update next week.

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

The Imperium Update brings some of the best features from Feral’s newer mobile titles like Total War: MEDIEVAL II and EMPIRE to ROME: Total War. Now, players have access to three new control options: Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, which significantly enhance your command over units and make battles more precise.

With the update, you can now tap and hold to move your armies, agents, or fleets instead of manually dragging paths. Positioning Mode allows for fine-tuning unit placements by simply tapping and holding. The Group Grid feature simplifies managing unit groups with a collapsible selection menu, and Melee Mode enables ranged units to switch to close combat when necessary.

A major highlight of the update is the Command Slowdown feature, which automatically slows down the game when you're issuing complex orders, making strategic planning more manageable. Additionally, for the first time, ROME: Total War on Android (and iPad) now supports keyboard and mouse, offering a more PC-like experience on your mobile device.

The minimap has also seen improvements, taking inspiration from MEDIEVAL II with smoother zooming and navigation. A new reset button allows you to quickly return to the default view, enhancing your overall gaming experience.

The Imperium Update is now available for ROME: Total War on Android, and you can download it directly from the Google Play Store. Keep an eye out for the updates coming next week to Barbarian Invasion and Alexander, so you won't miss out on the new features and enhancements.
