For fans of the acclaimed Rome: Total War on mobile, Feral Interactive is rolling out an exciting major overhaul with the Imperium Edition update. As masters in the art of mobile porting, Feral continues to enhance Creative Assembly's iconic blend of real-time strategy and empire building, now available for Android and iOS users.
While the update draws inspiration from mechanics seen in the PC remaster of Total War: Rome, it's important to note that these enhancements are far from mere replicas. Rather, they are thoughtful adaptations designed to enrich the mobile experience. Critics might have their say on the PC version, but there's unanimous agreement that these quality-of-life features are a welcome addition to the mobile port.
So, what's new in the Imperium Edition? For the seasoned campaigners, familiar mechanics from the Medieval II port are making a return. Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection will offer a deeper tactical layer to your conquests. But it's not just the veterans who will benefit; newcomers and returning commanders alike will appreciate the introduction of Command Slowdown. This feature, a staple in newer Total War titles, automatically slows the game pace during complex order issuance, allowing for more precise strategic maneuvers.

And there's more exciting news for those who prefer traditional controls: Rome: Total War on mobile now supports keyboard and mouse inputs. This means Android and iOS players can enjoy the same level of control and precision they're accustomed to on desktop, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
The Imperium update is now live, packed with these and other quality-of-life improvements. Keep an eye out for further enhancements as you continue your quest for dominance in the ancient world.
