Description:

The update is compatible with saved games, but to fully experience the changes you will have to start a new campaign.

• All Roman family trees have been reworked.: more historical accuracy, with the removal of characters that never existed, and more space for secondary characters.
• Modified the starting ownership of some regions: Changes have been made to reflect the de facto situation in 41 BC. See the changelog below for more info.
• Added 7 not (yet) playable faction: to add more flavor, the forgotten minor power of Rhodos, Treviri, Liburnians, Dalmati, Dardani, Kommagene and Oshroene are now added in their historical position.
• Tweaked the settlement’s occupation maluses: The penalty for peacefully occupying a settlement of the same culture is greatly reduced.
• Reworked the position and composition of the starting armies: Starting armies have been tweaked to make the AI behave consistently without restricting its actions.
  The following events are expected, but not guaranteed, by the AI: Gallic Rome will declare war on Octavian at some point; Fulvia will besiege and subsequently capture Rome if reinforcements do not arrive; Pompey will take control of Sardinia and Corsica; Parthia will declare war on Antony at some point; Octavian will move his legions from Spain to northern Italy; Lepidus will move his legions from Africa to southern Italy; and Labienus will occupy all of Syria.
• Every Roman province has now a latin temple: QoL change, less starting micromanagement.

  FIRST

  This mod changes the startpos.esf file. This file provides the base data for the loading of every campaign, like a save at turn 0. Hence, it’s NOT compatible with any other mods that modifies this file, such us overhaul mod, turns per year mod or victory conditions mod.
  Before reporting any crash/bug, please try to run the mod alone, so to be sure the problem isn’t about compatibility.
  This mod is a standalone one, you just need access to the Emperor Augustus campaign

  PREMISE

  The vanilla set up of the Augustus Campaign is way too superficial, from missing generals to completely made-up regions ownerships.
  This mod aim to patch these flaws in a vanilla friendly way, by adding three real factions who had a minor but still important role in the civil war, set up around the events of the Perusine war. This war changed the balance in favour to Octavian and weakened Antony’s position in Europe.
  Regions are assigned according to the real revision made to the Triumvirate, after the battle of Philippi.

  Other notes

  The mod has 4 turns per year.
  This mod was made in english. If you are playing Rome 2 in any other language, some text may be missing. This won’t have any impact on the working of the mod, but if you’are wondering how to fix it, just switch the game language to english in the game properties inside the steam library.

  Thanks to Sazanaki, the russian translation of the mod is available here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3721975449
