Description:

Ave Romans!

I am pleased to announce

NOVA ROMA

A large range of mods, all merged together to create the experience we’ve all been waiting for. It is the update we never received and where our grand community has put years in to improving the game on all areas.

This is for you if you are looking for an update to your Grand or Augustus Campaign but still giving that original feeling. You will face fierce tribes, economic collapse, sweeping plagues, pirates, rebellions, diplomatic turmoil & civil wars. Prepare carefully and plan your way for conquest of the known world.

I recommend playing on Very-hard.

What does it do?

Grand Campaign on the larger map – More cities, new paths & routes!
Boosted major factions – Face the armies of Carthage, Macedon, Epirus, Parthia, Egypt & Gallic confederations!
Improved strategy – 4 TPY, increased research, build and recruitment turns!
Improved AI – Aggressive, empire creators, huge and many armies with veteran units!
Expanded World – Seasons, plagues, banditry, pirates, rebellions, wonders, cultures, aqueducts, cities!
Expanded Graphics – HD pictures, HD cities, golden emblems, unit cards, blank borders & increased trade!
Expanded Units – Full reskin, new historical unit additions, improved garrisons, corrected recruitments!
Expanded Battles – Correction of abilities, combat mechanics, highlights, camera & animations!
Expanded Diplomacy – New events & options in diplomacy!
…and so much more!

This is amazing! Who has made this possible?!

I have put much time and dedication to test the mods, merge them together, tweak, balance and have it all work smoothly. But the actual mod work is not all mine! ALL GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION GOES TO THE FOLLOWING AUTHORS FOR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE THIS FOR THE COMMUNITY
