Patch Romana — The Imperium Update Brings Massive Control Improvements to ROME: Total War on iOS & Android

Citizens, rejoice! Today sees the release of the Imperium Update to ROME: Total War on iOS & Android.

Marching at the head of this legion of improvements are sweeping reforms to controls and options, bringing the best refinements from Total War: MEDIEVAL II to ROME — including Positioning Mode, Melee Mode and Automatic Deselection customisations.

Generals seeking something closer to the desktop experience can now also relive the glory days of ROME with mouse & keyboard support on iPad and Android.

The Imperium Update’s dominion extends beyond control —there are also a host of gameplay and balance improvements in store. In fact, the full Change Scroll unfurls right down the steps of the Senate. Rather than rolling it all out here, those wishing to know all the details are cordially invited to the Minisite: feral.in/romemobile-imperium

The Imperium Update will also be available for Barbarian Invasion and Alexander next week.

Hotseats & Halberds Update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II Out Now!

EMPIRE may be the most recent entry in the Total War series to have landed on mobile, but that doesn’t mean Total War: MEDIEVAL II should be forgotten. On the contrary, Feral’s armourers have been toiling at the forge, hammering out a comprehensive patch, and today we’re excited to release the Hotseats & Halberds Update!

On the Hotseat side of today’s patch, the asynchronous multiplayer of desktop Kingdoms makes a triumphant return in a new and improved form. Owners of Kingdoms on mobile can now play hotseat mode on the Kingdoms campaigns, and the Grand Campaign of the base game for the very first time!

And, it’s not just Halberds that are feeling the love… The other half of the update introduces a massive assortment of balance updates to different units — most notably, a new Cohesion mechanic ensuring that Pikemen formations perform more reliably.

A full breakdown of the Hotseats & Halberds can be found on our blog, as well as a mammoth list of all the changes. But, if you’ve already read enough, charge to the app store of your choice and update today!
