Imperator II - Apocalypto is a mod of Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion released in 2007 based on Rome Total Realism mod. A single Roman playable mod with 2 sets of campaign; Imperator mod from 280BC - 180AD and Marian Campaign from 100BC - 180AD
Disclaimer: I'm not a creator of this mod. This mod is by LestaT from TWC. I just combined all the fixes and patches together, fixed some leftover bugs and missing content and upload it to ModDB so the modern English community may experience its greatness here on ModDB too, and for the mod to stay safe and not being lost for good like many old RTW mods.
If you have any difficulties installing the mod, find me in our Rome - Total War Discord Community: Discord.com
The mod is installed on Rome 1.6 with BI. Unpack the archive and put imp folder to the root of Rome Total War folder (not BI!!!)
It will look something like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rome Total War Gold\imp
Start the mod with the bat file located inside imp folder, Start Imperator.bat
OR: Configure the shortcut in Steam (launch properties), add "-mod:imp -show_err"
The mod is modfoldered and doesn't change any of the original files, so you will still be able to play original game.
The patch 2.1 is included and the additional fixes were made: fixed broken sprite and texture references, added missing textures and UI, converted TGA textures to DDS, fixed corrupted names and bad lines in descr_strat.txt.
The additional tools are provided to tune the mod and change some options same as original installation.
