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

Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile porting, has significantly enhanced their acclaimed Total War series for mobile devices. Fans of Rome: Total War on Android and iOS can now dive into the expansive Imperium Edition update, which introduces a host of new features and quality-of-life improvements.

While not a direct replication, these updates draw inspiration from mechanics seen in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome. Despite any critiques of the PC remaster, these enhancements are widely appreciated for their positive impact on gameplay.

So, what exactly are these new features? For seasoned players, the update brings over Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection from the Medieval II port, adding depth to the strategic experience.

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 the gameplay when issuing complex orders, allowing for precise strategic decisions in the heat of battle.

And here's a major highlight: keyboard and mouse support is now available for Android and iOS players. This addition transforms the mobile experience, offering the precision and familiarity of desktop controls, making it one of the best ways to enjoy the original Rome: Total War in its full glory. Keep an eye out for other quality-of-life, gameplay, and additional improvements in the Imperium update, available now!
