------------------ About 1.3 -----------------------
Current still unsolved issues. To be done whenever the issue is found, or in the next patch.
- Some banners still overlapping
- Some banners overlap slightly to the left or right.
- Formations for infantry still don't work.
- Some scenes might be bugged
- Troops/factions might still be inbalanced. I'm trying with every update to balance it out further to at (hopefully) some point where it will all be balanced out perfectly.
This however will take some time, so please bare with me and stay patienced!
Note - The scene of Syracuse that was previewed on Moddb got bugged during the development and had to be taken out.
Hopefully I'll be able to repair the scene for the next patch. Otherwise I'll have to re-do it completely.
Note - Although I'm very gratefull to all of your who have reported the bugs they encountered and the suggestions that have been given.
I would have to say that it can be possible that I've forgot about a couple of them. Therefore please refer to the new forum for bug reports
so it's easier for me to know about them, so I can fix them. Same with suggestions!
For bug reports or suggestions go to: Badnamestudios.com
Future patching will include:
- Replaced Arms for all factions
- Hopefully fixes for the formations and banners
- More scenes
- New factions
- Some slight arena-fighting overhaul
- New icons (hopefully)
- More balancing
- Any found bugs to be fixed.
- Custom battle overhaul
- Naval battle overhaul
- NPS (Companion) Overhaul
- And more
![Bellum Imperii 1.3 [Full Version]](https://media.moddb.com/images/downloads/1/102/101150/banner13.jpg)
Really nice to see!!
the naval battles in this mod... do they actually involve ramming as it was common in the period?
Naval battles hasn't been worked on at all yet. So yeah, it's assumed to be rather odd. Especially considering it's a bunch of viking boats.
You are using the vikings conquest naval battles? If dont, there is a way to get free job :)
Any plan for new version ?
Forget me noob question i just saw them O_o
My Savegame is gone, i invested 60 hours :(
Sorry man, that's the downside of major patches.
You can always try to import your character from your last savegame.
or just give yourself a little boost on this little thing called "cheat menu" it can repair a lot off what you lost.
Will you develop a similar mod for Bannerlord? Bellum Imperii would be marvelous to see in Bannerlord :)
That will all depend on the resources that will be available, how the modding will be like and how much time I have for it.
It will take less time than making him from nothing, you already know what to do, and can the mod be SEMI-compatible with bannerlord(Semi because you will can import some models/scripts from warband and make this part done, or use the base of the asset)
This is what mods do, they have already the game done, but "create another game inside him"
Oh hell yes. I'm so hyped for this!!
This is already one of the best mods out there and number one for its setting. Keep up all the great work.
Which version of Warband [1.153, 1.168 etc] is this mod compatible with?
1.168
Thanks, gokiller.
1.166?
Is it supposed to say "1.2" when loading? I downloaded the right one and put the right one in the modules folder.
Yeah I forgot to update the loading screens. :P
Made a Playlist that I use just for Dark Ages games. Centered more around Pagan players with an heavy influence of it in the music from Vikings, game of thrones and many other related soundtrack. To do your warcry and charge with a large axe in your hands with music to fit the crazed bloodlust of battle. It is called 'Dark Ages'

This second one is more to reflect the Glory Of Rome. It is more instrumental and full of music from every great roman film.
Open.spotify.com
It is called FOR GLORY
Hey man, the mod looks super I saw videos on Youtube and really wanted to get it after. I just have a problem. I downloaded the game on Mac used RAR to open it then after it opened into a file I put it in modules and everything seemed to go great. The game loaded fine and when I got to the home page of the mod, I clicked on start game it told me this..
RGL ERROR
Unable to open Modules\Bellum_Imperii\troops.txt
Could you please tell me what I have to do to fix this?
Hey man, glad you liked what you've seen so far. I'm sorry that you've encountered some difficulties with getting it to work.
Here are some possible solutions to your problem.
- Enable 'Load textures on Demand' on the startup config
- Re-download
- Verify the integrity of Warband on steam.
Hope one of these will get you on your way!
I didn't get Mount and Blade Warband on Steam. What you mean by "verify the inegrity of Warband on steam." The first two things did not work. I tried installing previous version but I get still same "RGL ERROR Unable to open Modules\Bellum_Imperii\troops.txt" I not understand what the problem is. Anything else I can do?
That's odd. What is the file size of the mod for you?
The mod is the correct size I checked that already. I'm not sure what else to do. Does this mod have Thrace as a faction?
Nope, hmm yeah I'm starting to run out of solutions. Is this the only mod you encountered this problem with?
Yes, I forgot to mention that I have version 1.58.
Ah... Well the mod is for 1.168 so updating your game wouldn't be a bad idea. :P
Oh, it won't work for 1.58? I have tried updating it but am not sure how. Do I have to put keys in and will I loose game progress on other mods?
Taleworlds.com
There you can download it. Can't say if you lose the progress on other mods. The savegames would obviously still be there. However I'm not sure how the other mods respond to the newer version.
First make a backup of your modules version.
1.Download the newer version
2.Add it to the location of the game folder
3.Move your backup inside the new game folder
4.Run the game
Your save games are saved on the "Documents" folder or in the mod data folder, then make a backup of both and it may be safe
Hi
It appears that I encounter the same old problem with this mod,couldn't get past character creation in previous versions and now can't get past selecting starting zone.
Game freezes and I have to re log on my pc (and yes it is a proper gaming pc and not a potato)
Shame because is the only mod that has Dacian faction playable. :(
Did you try the same things as I mentioned above?
Hi
It works now that I enabled "Load textures on demand",thank you.
You sir are a modding MASTER
My map in game generated wrong!!!All countries are united and mixed!!The Ancyra is in Europe!!
Hell of a job :D

Is there somewhere I can read about the Culture mechanics in this mod? I'm really enjoying it so far but I'm having trouble understanding it. I wanted to create a Barbarian slave that eventually conquered Rome but every town/village I've gone to has Roman culture and despises my Barbarian culture which from what I understand makes serfs less likely to join me, even when I'm in places far away from the Romans. Is this normal?
The 'cultural' system replaced the 'religion' system not that long ago in terms of updates. It's still somewhat un-accurate. Like as you say. It's being worked on though. Appologies for the troubles!
Hey friend i really like your work its awesome but i personally love playing custom games.Why cant I play custom battles ?
The custom battles are pretty bugged and haven't been worked on. It hasn't really been a priority.
there are many problems with the mod on my device
I have windows 7 64-bit but my computer potentials are high
please help me
It would help if you would tell us what problems you have?
I changed my windows to 32-bit
but I had a new problem I can’t create a new game
and tells me Runtime error
then the game stops working
I have
RAM : 2.00 GB
Processor : Intel(R)Core(TM)i5-2540 CPU @ 2.60 GHz 2.60 GHz
32-bit systems tend to have a max ram useage mate by downgrading to 32 bit you likely capped your ram to make the game unable to run. Not sure if this will be any help.
romans can form in testudo?
