  Patch 2.0.5 (Open Beta)

  Avē! Some Imperator news for you all! My name is Thomas and I’m a Studio Manager here at Paradox, some of you probably know me from the old days when I worked on EU4 among other things. Recently one of my side activities has been to coordinate a small effort around Imperator:Rome. It’s now been a while since the release of Anniversary Patch 2.0.4 Augustus. In fact, it’s been a little over half a year now! We were thrilled by the incredible community support for that labor of love, crafted by some of our developers here at Paradox in collaboration with some exceptionally talented modders. Building on that and a continuous collaboration with parts of our fantastic modding community, we dedicated some additional resources and we’ve got another patch for you! Patch 2.0.5 is now available on the open beta branch. Like 2.0.4, its primary focus is on providing modders with more tools and greater freedom in the game. But that’s not all—it also includes several quality-of-life improvements that should enhance your vanilla experience as well. We’re excited to hear what you think of this patch, which we plan to release in full in the (near-ish) future. If you encounter any issues while trying out the beta, please let us know! Your feedback is invaluable in helping us fine-tune this update and ensure it’s as stable and polished as possible for its final release. Additionally, I’m not making any promises here, but don’t hesitate to suggest additional improvements for future updates if we manage to get to that point. Special thanks to Katten & Sir Rogers who did most of the heavy lifting for this update, it would not have happened without them!. They will also hang around here and pick up on your feedback!

  Anniversary Patch 2.0.4 Augustus

  Avē! My name is Erik Jakobsson, but most of you know me as Katten. I work as a Community Manager for Hearts of Iron IV & Millennia, and with great joy, I can finally tell you that it's here—Patch 2.0.4 Augustus is now available for everyone on Steam, GOG, Microsoft Store, and GeForce Now! This patch contains 158 bug fixes, improved performance, 25 new modding tools, as well as the ability to earn achievements while playing mods. Now, before we jump into the patch notes, I want to share how this patch came to be! A look back Last year, Niels Uiterwijk, currently the Technical Director at Studio Green and the former tech lead for Imperator, decided to begin work on a small maintenance patch for the game. This patch aimed to address issues encountered by modders and regular players. It entered Open Beta exactly one year ago, on April 25th, 2023. However, it remained dormant and was not released to the live branch due to the requirement of needing to release simultaneously on all platforms. This posed a technical resource demand, and simply put, there wasn't enough time available, as Niels was working on this project in his spare time. The Imperator Day As we entered 2024, we began hearing whispers of creators coming together to revive Imperator in some capacity. This event was set to take place on February 17th, 2024. We decided to lend our support to this fan-driven initiative by making a small announcement on our Imperator social media channels. When the event took place, it surpassed our expectations, doubling the peak concurrent player count. Following the success of the event, we learned of Imperator Day 2.0, once again organised by Laith from Socialstreamers. This time, we decided to take more proactive steps and announced an Ides of March Sale for Imperator, while also showcasing the exceptional mod, Imperator: Invictus. The event saw another doubling of player numbers, reaching a peak of 2708 players, a figure not seen since early 2021. This surge in community ...

  Anniversary Maintenance Patch - 2.0.4 (Open Beta)

  Avē! First, I’d like to introduce myself, I am not one of the previous Game Directors, Johan or Peter, but I am Niels Uiterwijk, the original tech lead on the project. Today my role at paradox has changed as I am the Technical Director in studio green (studio working Stellaris). But still, from outer space I look back at earth and think of Imperator sometimes and decided to make a small maintenance patch, fixing some of the issues that modders & other people ran into. Without further ado, the patch notes: ####################### # Bugfixes ###################### # Notes - This patch should be save compatible, however not all fixes might be applied to your current save. # Stablity & Performance - Improved overall memory consumption & performance - Improved monthly tick performance by performing some more calculations in parallel (state modifiers) - Portrait editor no longer crashes on open - Updated SDL to 2.0.20 from 2.0.10 - Updated Nakama to 2.4.1 from 2.2.4 # Game Mechanic - Upped the maximum number of tags (countries) from 2048 to 8192 - Fixed levy calculations being inversed - Fixed a bug where when annexing a country, their abroad prisoners, that were in your prison, would also be counted as an abroad prisoners for you, even though they are local prisoners. - default pop right is now correctly working & added proper logging of pop rights - Fixed bug where unused modifiers were still being rewarded for specific missions (local & global cohort recruitment speed) - Fixed bug where integrated cultures were still treated differently when they were converting to your primary religion - Raised levies will select the best tactic for it's composition. - Civil Wars will no longer just pick 1 character, but instead take far more disloyal characters. - Fixed bug where released nations during a peace deal would have no proper pantheon. - Fixed bug where you would never see battle results from battles against pirates, barbarians or rebels. - Diplomatic range is now calculat...
