I jiggled around my pantheon on a regular basis, tweaking the omens I had available based on how I saw my next few years coming.
#MAGNA GRAECIA ROME UPDATE#
Most of my enjoyment came from the revisions added by the 1.4 update - for which this content pack ties perfectly. In fact, the biggest issues for Sparta come when you have grown to fill up the peninsula, by then you’ll have already juggled alliances with the empires who share the area with you, and something has to give. Sparta’s missions feel like a tutorial about expanding carefully - and the location is perfectly located to do so. As with Heart of Iron IV, the missions really add direction to what would otherwise be an endurance sandbox. Having relearned a lot of the controls I decided to dive into a playthrough as Sparta. I’ve had a couple of runs with the new expansion and update in place, but the most memorable run was my second run.
#MAGNA GRAECIA ROME SERIES#
Syracusae seek to grab power from their neighbours and expand onto the continent, while Sparta - for example - has a series of missions which takes them on to regain their power over the Peloponnese Peninsula. This means that even if you don’t play as one of the nations which have been givenĪ lot of these missions are about consolidating power after being shattered down to smaller states. The long and short of the Magna Graecia content pack comes down to the missions and deities which are added to the Greek city-states, although it should also be added that all of the states within the area have different starting heritages. I’ll mention some of the changes that come with the 1.4 Archimedes update while talking about the content pack, but if you want a bigger explanation of the changes it brings then you can head over to our article we’ve made specifically for that. Others found it to be paltry, light, and nearly hollow when compared to Paradox’ other releases. Personally, I really enjoyed the core game release, writing that it was “a very good game, especially if you have patience and a good head for numbers.” over on The Indie Game Website where I reviewed it. It had been hard to move around the Paradox Plaza (the developer-publisher’s forum) for the previous years without seeing people chattering about potential upcoming projects: Rome 2, Victoria 3, Crusader Kings 3, and so when the big announcement came that the game was coming, people exploded with joy.
When Imperator: Rome launched in April 2019 everybody was abuzz - abuzz I say. It was a project that had been a long time coming, and the Magna Graecia Content Pack - alongside the 1.4 Archimedes update - brings it closer to the general expectation than ever before. It doesn’t seem it, but almost a year has passed since Paradox released Imperator: Rome into the wild. Claim the mantle of Alexander as one of the dozens of states left in the wake of his sudden death in Magna Graecia, or just revisit an old friend in the wake of the massive changes brought to Imperator: Rome by the Archimedes, 1.4 update.
