Feral Interactive's Rome: Total War Gets Major Imperium Update

Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile porting, has significantly enhanced the mobile version of Creative Assembly's acclaimed real-time strategy and empire-building game, Rome: Total War. The newly released Imperium Edition update brings a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and more to Android and iOS players.

While these updates echo some of the features introduced in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, they are far from being mere copies. Instead, they enrich the mobile experience, drawing from successful elements seen in the Medieval II port, such as Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection. These features are particularly beneficial for seasoned players looking to refine their strategies.

For both new and veteran commanders, the introduction of Command Slowdown is a game-changer. This feature, common in newer Total War releases, automatically slows down gameplay when issuing complex orders, allowing for more precise and strategic decision-making on the battlefield.

Perhaps one of the most exciting additions is the support for keyboard and mouse on Android and iOS devices. This allows players to leverage familiar desktop controls, enhancing the tactical control and overall gaming experience of the original Rome: Total War.

The Imperium update is now available, and players should keep an eye out for additional quality-of-life enhancements, gameplay tweaks, and other improvements.
