We have just released our first hotfix for Imperator: Rome! Thank you for all your feedback! Please note that this patch won't be compatible with 1.0 Ironman saves. We apologize for the inconvenience caused, but it was not possible to do the necessary fixes and remain save game compatible. The previous version will still be available in the Betas tab for those who want to finish an ongoing Ironman game before updating. Non Ironman games should still be fine however! (Right click Imperator: Rome in Steam -> properties -> BETA -> pick 1.0 in the dropdown list) We will not be able to collect any bug reports from Steam I'm afraid, so if you experience further issues, please use official bug report forum, thank you! 1.0.1 Demetrius Patchnotes ################### # Gamebalance ################### - Tweaked Mercenaries to be less numerous and a bit more spread out. - Country Capital now has one extra building slot. - Fortifications in capitals are now normal buildings, and not something that magically appear.
