Imperator: Rome’s 2.0 ‘Marius’ update is due to drop tomorrow, but you can peruse the official patch notes right now, thanks to the magic of dev diaries. As is tradition, the formal change log for a major title update gets released in the developer update just before the event, and the historical grand strategy game’s diary slot has been Monday for a while now.
The upcoming changes touch a lot of areas, judging by the number of free features being included in the notes. The overhauled UI alone will make the game look completely different than before, but there’s also been a bunch of changes to military forces and warfare, buildings (including ports), and the way technology and innovations work has also been changed. And that’s not even tackling the bug fixes and tweaks to existing content. Pasted into a Word document, the notes run to some nine or ten pages.
It’s the military revisions that I’m most excited about, but then I’m a massive nerd. Some people enjoy music, or good art design... but me? I enjoy an authentic abstraction of the Roman Republic’s transition from a levy-based military to a state-funded professional army.
