Feral Interactive Debuts Big Rome: Total War Imperium Update

• Feral Interactive's mobile port of Rome: Total War is receiving a comprehensive overhaul
• The Imperium update introduces a range of new mechanics, quality-of-life enhancements, and additional features
• Added mouse and keyboard support now offers unprecedented tactical precision and control

Feral Interactive, renowned experts in mobile adaptations, have consistently delivered one of their standout series: bringing Creative Assembly's acclaimed blend of real-time strategy and grand empire-building to mobile devices through the Total War franchise. Now, Android and iOS players of Rome: Total War can experience a host of new additions with the major Imperium Edition update.

While not identical, many of these features mirror mechanics Feral introduced in their PC remaster of Total War: Rome. This is far from a drawback; although aspects of the Rome remaster received mixed reviews, these particular quality-of-life improvements are widely regarded as valuable enhancements.

So, what exactly do these features entail? Primarily aimed at seasoned players, the update incorporates Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection—mechanics previously adapted from the Medieval II port.

For both new and veteran commanders, the addition of Command Slowdown will be a particularly welcome feature. Common in newer Total War titles, this function automatically slows gameplay while issuing complex orders, allowing for precise strategic adjustments in the heat of battle.

And let's not forget keyboard and mouse support. Now, Android and iOS players can utilize familiar desktop controls, arguably making this the definitive way to experience the original Rome: Total War in all its polygonal glory. Keep an eye out for the full array of gameplay, quality-of-life, and other improvements in the Imperium update, available now.
