Roma Invicta

"Tell me Maximus, why are we here?"

"For the glory of the Empire Sir"

"Ah yes, ah yes I remember."

Welcome everyone to this new overhaul mod of mine titled "ROMA INVICTA".

What’s in the mod?
This mod will centre on Rome, giving Rome unique stuff as well as keeping it from becoming too OP to the rest. This means that as Hannibal Barca or Ptolemy, you will still have the same opportunities as Rome, but along different routes. All roads after all lead to Rome.

What’s in the Mod?
1) Added in navigable rivers and adjusted adjacency.txt by removing crossings along western most sections of the Danube,

PLEASE NOTE! Everything underneath here is now in the sub-mods RI – Buildings, RI – Missions Tree, RI – Traditions.

2) Added in several new building types – Victory Column and Triumphal Arch (both increase General’s loyalty), Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheatre), Pantheon, Gladiatorial Amphitheatre, Scriptoria (Library), Scriptorium (Academy), Greek Agora (Replaces the Forum for everyone else except Rome, Indian Aqueduct System, Greek Inverted Siphon (exclusive to Hellenic and Levantine culture groups) and the Cesspit made exclusively for the barbarian tribes,
3) Renamed forum to Forum Magnum (as it was historically called by the plebs of Rome) and made it exclusive to Rome
4) Added in Carthaginian shipbuilding and Advanced shipbuilding for Rome’s military traditions (was going to add this in as an event but meh,
5) Expanded UI to allow for more future buildings planned (many more planned).

Recent Update Mar 10, 2021
1) Redrawn the Map,
2) Severely reduced Egypt to give both Rome and Cyrenaica a chance to complete their missions and to mitigate an OP Egypt very early on.
3) Further removed more river crossings as my eventual goal with the navigable rivers is to create choke points, where strategically placed fortifications can actually do their job. So don’t think I’m finished with this yet. 😉
4) Added in the ability to access the debug_mode without having to type it into launch settings. Just hit F11 and voila!

SF – Roman Invicta – Redone Missions Tree: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2420723674
This sub mod was created especially for the main mod and focuses on shortening the length of each default vanilla Ir missions tree. So far, only Italia has been finished as it is very hard to test these missions since no cheat exists that allows me to auto-complete them. So this is where you guys come in. Test the sub-mod and tell me what you think?

Oh and I have added it as a required mod (even though it is not required) purely out of convenience and easy access for you guys to subscribe to.

More updates to follow!

Future Plans?
Many but I ain’t saying yet! Basically to add more stuff and avoid becoming bogged down.

Myself, friends and the original creators of Imperator Rome. All my gifs are self made and I make my own graphics too, so please ask before you use them. I don’t take too kindly to people using my stuff without asking first. This said, I’m a pretty reasonable guy so please feel free to express in kind and not abusive messages your intentions and I will think about it.

Other Notable Mentions of Credit:
Licarious Fenrir for his Navigable Rivers mod and for allowing me to integrate his files into my mod. Your an awesome modder Fen! 🙂

PLEASE NOTE!
The mod is still being developed as you guys play, so please expect random updates. I will however make it so that the updates I add will not affect your save games. Also, not everything has been implemented yet so please be patient and respectful. I don’t want any childish tantrums or abuse towards me please. I do not make mods to be abused at. I make them because I’m a modder and I love modding the hell out of PDX games.

Many thanks for your interests in my mod and enjoy!
