Feral Interactive Releases Imperium Update for ROME: Total War

If you're a fan of the classic strategy game *ROME: Total War* on Android, get ready for an exciting update! Feral Interactive has just released the Imperium Update, which brings a host of gameplay tweaks, control improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements. This update, which is already live on Android, will soon be available for the standalone expansions Barbarian Invasion and Alexander next week.

What Does the Imperium Update Bring to ROME: Total War?

The Imperium Update introduces some of the best features from Feral’s more recent mobile releases, such as *Total War: MEDIEVAL II* and *EMPIRE*. Here's what you can expect:

• New Control Options: ROME: Total War now includes three new control modes: Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection. These options offer better command over your units, making battles more precise and enjoyable. You can now simply tap and hold to move your army, agents, or fleets, rather than manually dragging paths.
• Positioning Mode: This mode allows you to fine-tune the placement of your units by tapping and holding, giving you more strategic control over your army's positioning.
• Group Grid Feature: Managing unit groups is now easier with a collapsible selection menu, streamlining your command experience.
• Melee Mode: Ranged units can now switch to close combat when necessary, enhancing your tactical options during battles.
• Command Slowdown: This significant change automatically slows the game down when you're issuing complex orders, making it easier to manage your troops effectively.
• Keyboard and Mouse Support: For the first time, Android (and iPad) users can enjoy keyboard and mouse support, offering a more PC-like experience on mobile devices.
• Redesigned Minimap: The minimap has been revamped to resemble the one in *MEDIEVAL II*, with smoother zooming and navigation. A new reset button allows you to quickly return to the default view, enhancing your overall gameplay experience.

The Imperium Update is now available for download on the Google Play Store for those who own *ROME: Total War* on Android. Keep an eye out for the updates coming to Barbarian Invasion and Alexander next week, and don't miss out on these exciting enhancements!
