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.

It’s the Eye of the Tigress: Bhashiva — Character Pack Out Now for Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS and Linux

A new challenger approaches the Old World’s Maelstrom of conflict and chaos!

The Bhashiva Character Pack introduces a new Legendary Lord to the Grand Cathay. The Tiger Warriors are a proud, ancient martial culture, and sworn allies of the Dragon Lords of Cathay.

Ruling from the Tiger Court, their Lord is Bhashiva, a duellist built to cut through infantry and enemy Heroes alike — striking hard and fast with flame-imbued attacks.

If you own Total War: WARHAMMER or WARHAMMER II, but you’ve not yet purchased the WARHAMMER III base game, the Bhashiva Character Pack also unlocks the Grand Cathay faction for use in the Immortal Empires Campaign.

Today also sees the release of the free Update 8.0 for Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS and Linux. Head to the Total War blog for all the details, but don’t miss Taoyan the Merciless — the free Legendary Hero. A favoured general of the Iron Dragon, she can be recruited by any Grand Cathay Legendary Lord. Specialised in slaying fearsome single-entity beasts, she is an asset to any faction who win her loyalty.

Update to 8.0 today, and head to the Steam Store to add the Bhashiva Character Pack to your collection for $4.99 / £3.99 / 4,99 €.

Wololo! Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Converts to macOS on May 28th!

One of the most beloved strategy games ever comes to macOS this May, with the arrival of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

Lead diverse civilisations spanning a thousand years of history. Grow a Dark Age hamlet into an Imperial Age citadel. Build a thriving economy, assemble your armies, and do battle across historical single-player campaigns, the hugely replayable skirmish mode, and with other macOS players in online multiplayer.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes complete with razor-sharp 4K visuals, a fully remastered soundtrack, and includes three expansions with the base game: Lords of the West, Dynasties of India, and Dawn of the Dukes. Newcomers to the series and returning veterans alike can look forward to all the fast-paced base-building and warfare that make this game a classic, consistently improved over two decades of refinement and additional content.

Empire builders hungry for more will also have access to a large — and still-expanding — stable of DLC purchasable from day one. Players can explore wide-ranging content, from Return of Rome, which transplants the original Age of Empires experience into the modern engine, to The Last Chieftains — exploring the complex medieval societies of South America — which just recently released!

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition lands on Steam for macOS on May 28th, with a Mac App Store release to come later in the year. Keep your eyes trained on our social feed and blog — in the run-up to the Steam launch, we’ll cover everything you need to know about this real-time strategy titan.
