Post news Report RSS Bellum Imperii 1.0 Release!

So by now the download should be out! Here some notes on the version itself!

Posted by on


Hello dear mod supporters/followers!


Welcome to the release newsblog of Bellum Imperii 1.0!



I would like to make a couple of things clear before people start asking questions. My first intention was to make 1.0 the stable non-bug version of the mod. So this does not mean this version includes major features. It adds a lot of stuff and fixes as lot. But specialized features will come in future updates so with each update I can focus on one feature at a time.

Now to the version itself! I had to leave some things out as I otherwise wouldn't be able to release it at my own planned date. (Today) Hence the version will be missing naval warfare replacements and there is still a lot of work to be done on the scening aspect.

Because of the time issue there wasn't any time left to do some serious testing before the release. Even though I'm confident that there are no bugs left. There could be balancing issues with the factions, items and troops. But in time these will be sorted out and I hope that you lads will help me out with finding any odd aspects about the mod and report them to me so I can get on it!

Either way enough of that, have a great time!

I'll check it out soon :D Glad to hear its back and working good!

I forget since I havent played in awhile, and forgive me if ive mixed this up with Rome At War, but have you got all the settlements named, and its not like German capitol anymore? If it is, may I suggest checking out Rome 2: Total War? Got lots of settlement names there :P
