This is the definitive Rome II experience, curated from hundreds of hours of gameplay. This seamless compilation builds on Divide et Impera for unparalleled historical immersion. Fight every battle manually and command vast, authentic armies. Your ultimate campaign awaits.

This collection is the result of that journey—a meticulously curated package where every mod has a purpose. We've gone beyond the core DEI overhaul to integrate stunning visual upgrades, intelligent quality-of-life fixes, and deeper strategic systems that work in perfect harmony.

Prepare for a world that feels truly alive. Lead from the front with generals who visually age, gain new traits, and change their regalia with rank and season. Manage complex supply lines and population classes that dictate your recruitment. Every decision, from grand strategy to battlefield positioning, carries real weight.

This is the complete historical wargame, refined and polished into a single, stable platform for your conquest.

• A Commander's True Test: Experience tactical warfare where morale, fatigue, and positioning decide the battle. With auto-resolve disabled and a complete combat overhaul, your personal command is the only path to glory.
  
• A Living, Breathing World: See your generals age and change with the seasons, lead over 2,000 historically accurate units, and manage empires with deep population and supply systems—all wrapped in a breathtaking visual and audio upgrade.
  
• A Curated, Conflict-Free Experience: We've done the hard work of compatibility testing. This collection is designed to work perfectly out-of-the-box, saving you from the hassle of mod conflicts.
  
• A Stable Foundation: This compilation is designed as a complete set. You can start a long campaign with confidence, knowing the core experience won't be broken by a single mod update.

This compilation transforms every aspect of ROME II. Here’s what you’ll experience:

• 🗡️ True Battlefield Command: Prove your skill in every engagement. Auto-resolve is disabled, forcing you to fight and win every battle manually for the ultimate challenge.
  
• 🌍 A Living, Evolving World: Your generals age, gain rank, and change their attire with the seasons. Combined with the stunning Legendary Empires HD reskin and enhanced visuals, the ancient world has never felt more alive.
  
• ⚔️ Tactical, Realistic Combat: Experience a complete battle overhaul where morale, fatigue, and formation are paramount. Charges are devastating, pikes hold their line, and missile fire is redefined for authenticity.
  
• 🚢 Strategic Campaign Depth: Naval movement is now logical (ports only), and new systems for population, supply, and area recruitment demand thoughtful, long-term planning.
  
• 🎻 Cinematic Immersion: Enjoy a legendary soundtrack featuring music from Total War: Rome, Attila, and the film Alexander, pulling you deeper into the epic atmosphere.

• A Clean Start is Best: We strongly recommend unsubscribing from all other mods in your Steam Workshop before subscribing to this collection. Conflicting mods are the primary cause of issues.

1. Subscribe: Click the "Subscribe to all" button on this Steam Workshop collection page.
   
2. Activate: Launch Total War: ROME II. In the launcher, go to Mod Manager and ensure all the mods from this collection are selected and in the correct order (listed below).
   
3. Play: Start a new campaign or a custom battle! We recommend a Normal difficulty campaign to start.

These steps are optional but can further customize your experience. They are not required for the core compilation to function.

For the best graphical experience, download and install the Antvmnos effects mod.
