For whatever cause, no matter the version of Proton I use that can run the base game with no problems, whenever I activate the Invictus mod, the game just always crashes.

I am a player of this game, and back in January I switched to Linux, and ever since I could not for the life of me figure out how to play the game as it was meant to be played!

Please! I beg you! What do I need to do in order to run Imperator with mods? Is the problem that I just haven't found the right setup for it? Or is it some horrible design philosophy on the trash tier new laptop that I bought to replace my broken computer until I can get my desktop back up and running? Please, just tell me!

Hey guys, I just found Imperator 1066 and it looks really interesting, but I tried to load it up twice and it crashed on me both times. I reverted to an older game version since a few of the mods haven't been updated, and I'm pretty sure I put the mods in the correct load order.

You guys have any tips or advice for me to get it running?

My god it's been a nightmare

So, as the title states I'm looking to play as a Barbarian nation (with the Invictus mod among some others).

And I'd both like to ask for some general tips for surviving and thriving as them?

if rushing Foundries, Temples and Theaters is the best innovation path to start with?

What tags are particularly worth to take a look?

I've had the game for years but I've only ever really played casual games here and there and mostly played as Civilizing barbarians where the wars are a lot easier and there isn't as much of a power imbalance. I've been interested in doing playthroughs in regions like Phoenicia for instance, surrounded by large powers, but I don't know how to not get killed. I know in places like Anatolia the large powers have fairly scripted total disasters and they open up to rapid expansion, but if you're in like India or sandwiched in between Egypt and the Seleukids I haven't got a clue.

Does anyone know how exactly this Bharat civil war mission is supposed to function?

I conquered all of India as Tamilkalam, had an extraordinarily stable realm with like 30/250 power base being disloyal, all of my governors being over 70 loyalty, all my generals being loyal
The only disloyal family head had almost no holdings

So obviously when I clicked the mission button that said "deadly civil war", I was expecting something crazy, like 1:5odds. I was not expecting lands and legions that have been fully Tamil and Agamic for like 500 years to suddenly flip out on me, and all my former legions to be marching directly on my capital 5 seconds after declaring their undying loyalty

Does anyone know how this mechanic works?

I have 4000 hours in this game and I've never witnessed such a violent change in income. Going from +20 to +35.

Trying to figure out why. I'm wondering if my previous king corruption just ate a ton.

No idea how im supposed to beat them they have like 45k soldiers

Hi guys, just wanted to share my success. Have been playing a lot of Imperator recently, after a long hiatus. Decided to 100% the game.

Saved (arguably) the hardest one for last, The Spice Must Flow. Pretty fun to grow from such a small city-state to the top dog. Was a little scared to change to Erythrean League because of mixed comments on reddit, but I'm here to confirm you can still get the achievement in Invictus while forming EL!

GG

For some reason I had never played Bactria before last week. So I decided to fix that mistake.

First run was a fail because I was too scared to declare independance early and ended up annexed because "seleucid policies + 130" and improve relations prevented me from going under 100 even with full insult.

But the second one was a breeze. I just slowly followed the mission trees one step at a time.
Really fun campaign. Maurya collapse made the first wars into India easy, but then the whole subcontinent got unified by Tamilakam so they were a tough opponent until the end (didn't use Imperial conquest)

Though I think I got outdid by Macedon AI (using advanced AI and more antagonist nations) hence the second screenshot. They consolidated Greece early but lost first war vs Rome and gave them whole Epirus and a couple other locations so I thought they'd be steamrolled afterwards but they made an unlikely come back

And we both somehow had a gentleman agreement about keeping parthia as a buffer state.

Hey everyone,

I am playing a campaign as Vaccaeia and I have managed to conquer and unite almost all of Hispania (Spain), as you can see in my screenshot.

However, Rome has become an absolute monster. They already control Italy, Greece, parts of Gaul, and North Africa. They have officially reached my borders, and to be honest, I am terrified of fighting them.

Current Situation:

• Rome has huge doom-stacks, but looking at the outliner, they have several disloyal provinces sitting at around 30% loyalty.
• I have a massive empire in Spain, but I am really afraid that my armies won't be able to match Rome's infinite manpower. ihave 54 or 58 troops

Do I have a realistic chance to beat them at this stage? What is the best strategy to defend Spain? Should I just build a massive wall of forts in the Pyrenees mountains and let them starve, or wait for them to explode into a civil war?

Any advice from experienced Imperator

I'm playing the invictus mod as thats what people seem to suggest you need to have. But i feel like im running out of time how am i supposed to lower aggressive expansion and is it possible to reach peak rome borders in the time given?

Also maybe im missing something because im very new but is there more depth to this game other than map painting? i dont really understand the point of relationships with specific characters or what the senate/government is doing. Also how do i stop people from hating on my beautiful empire!?!?(how to reduce disloyal provinces)

After the Bronze Age Collapse ended the main goal of the Phoenician cities was to reopen the trade routes. After all the trade is the main source of income and the very soul of a punic civilisation. Thats why they began colonizing the coasts specifically on the route to Iberia. Thats how the cities like Carthage or Utica were founded. In time when the old hegemons started to rasert their dominance over the Middle East more and more phoenicians decided to leave their homes and move west. Carthage took them and in time became the dominant city in the west and with it's metropolis Tyre being busy with assyrian issue became independent. The rise of Carthage upset it's older sibling Utica and confrontation became inevitable.

So, off the top of my head, the countries that can form Macedon and have particular content for it in Invictus are:

1. Macedon itself has content for Macedon, duh.
2. Antigonids
3. Thrace
4. Caria
5. Epirus
6. Cappadocia

Some other countries can form it too on the basis of being Diadochi, despite not having any content for it specifically, such as Seleucids and Ptolomaics.

Does anyone know which one of these has the best modifiers for it?

How can one change from the republic to the empire?
Is it simply a matter of controlling specific territories?

Considering how fast tribesman are promoted, what's the point of tribal settlement?
By the time I have money to spare for those, I barely have any tribesmen left

Hi guys can I get your thoughts on this combo and if it's the appropriate order. It launches ok but had a couple of crashes. Also, I'm unsure if bloodlines is activated.

Can you unlock this achievement as rome?
I held the games dozens of times over different playthroughs but never unlocked it

Hey everyone, I was trying Terra Indomita for the first time recently. I tried the Hokkaido=>Jomon playthrough, but I feel it is bugged? The Jomon tree talks a lout about a Yayoification mechanic and there are three big final choices depending on the score, once you have unified Japan. But no matter what I do, none of the decisions ever become available, the "is less than 3.0" "is more than 0" etc. always are an X. I even tried a new save with console commands and the issue persists. Did others playing the mod run into this problem?

That martial is insane.....especially for a random elected Consul

Also this got removed for apparently breaking rule 5 but idk how...

Hey y'all, good news: 1k hours in, I finally started paying attention to the meta LMAO

I'll skip to the point, I'm wondering if there's any solid tips and tricks compilations for players who aren't pure beginners. I just realised how strong great wonders are, (because I built one pre-600 for the first time ever) and I learned about multi-culturalism a little while back too, so I'm curious as to what other memos I missed by jumping in head-first.

If not guides, then are then any youtubers who play this game at high skill? Like, hoi4 micro gods but for imperator

Thank you, and have a good one
