Divide et Impera 0.9 Released
Divide et Impera 0.9
After much anticipation and plenty of hard work, I present to you DeI's newest update. I want to take a moment to thank all of our team, from the modders to the testers and support members. You guys really came together under some adverse conditions to get this update out. I am very proud to be a member of this modding team and of the effort we have put forth in this update.

OR
Steam Part 6 (make sure you have the other 5 parts as well).
*Note: Currently this version has longer load times than 0.85 due to the amount of additional units. Also, when reforms hit it takes a moment to move to the next turn. These are issues we hope to address when we make the mod more efficient in 1.0.
Here is the content of the update. Below the patch notes, you will find some general information about our plans going forward, save compatibility and the Steam version.
Update Notes
Overhauls:
- Area of Recruitment System:
- Many regions now have units that are specific to that region's culture. These units can be recruited by any faction that owns the region.
- Over 150 new culturally unique units.
- All factions now must have a majority culture in a province to recruit their core faction units, unless that region is historically from that culture.
- For more information see the Recruitment Guide.
- Roman Auxiliary Overhaul:
- Over 100 new auxiliary units for Rome available after the Marian reforms.
- Pre-Marian, Rome can recruit already existing auxiliary and Italian allied forces from the auxiliary line.
- For more information, see this thread.
- New Faction Overhauls:
- The Getae have received 16 new custom units. Some of these units will be restricted until after their reforms (same time as the Celtic reforms).
- The Galatians have received new custom units.
- Agents Overhaul:
- Dignitaries have been changed to Provincial Governors. These Governors have entirely new skills and are designed to be deployed in your provinces.
- Each agent now has a defined role. Governors govern (duh), Spies explore/infiltrate/sabotage and Champions train and combat enemy agents.
- Spies have new tier 3 skills in their authority and zeal lines that require both tier 2 skills to unlock. Champions have the same for their subterfuge and authority lines.
- Agent skill images have been revamped to better show the skill trees. Images can be found here.
- These changes are save compatible. Also, Generals can still be governors if you choose to use them in that manner (but some effects have been decreased).
- Increased amount of Governors (dignitaries) per imperium level.
- Thanks to TheSavage and rem123456 for the ideas that led to these changes.
- AI Recruitment System Overhaul:
- Each AI army configuration type now has at least one additional template (more than one in many cases).
- Rather than seeing the same army compositions from certain factions, you will see a more varied selection depending on the army.
- More culturally-specific configurations for various factions.
- Updated and improved the unit qualities setting for overall better AI recruitment priorities.
General Changes:
- Incorportaed auto-resolve changes from Aeimnestus's Realism submod in order to make auto-resolve more realistic/useful.
- Removed second barracks for Eastern and Hellenic factions. These cultures now only have 1 infantry recruitment building. This change is save compatible but save games will have some useless buildings.
- Nomadic factions can now "live off the land." When raiding, sieging or mustering they will gain a food bonus.
- New Tier 4 Slave forum building. Slave Forum buildings now use food rather than reduce public order.
- Tier 2 Slave buildings no longer require the slave resource but also do not produce it. Tier 3 and 4 require and produce the resource.
- Added new medic buildings for Daco-thracian and Illyrian subcultures.
- Removed Legion variants. For historical legions, see the submod section.
- Slightly lowered some ancillary effects.
- Basic melee ships now available from all port types.
- Fixed raiding stance public order reduction.
- Small increase to movement for navies.
- Added cultural conversion to first tier Barbarian temples.
- Added one extra temple that gives cultural conversion for each Barbarian culture.
- Lowered amount of experience champions train in troops each turn.
- Fixed Tylis Chapter Missions and religion type. Added units to Tylis' roster.
Plans Going Forward, Save Compatibility and the Steam Version
0.9
- This version is save compatible with previous versions of DeI. You should get all of the features in this update in your current saves. However, there will be some useless buildings that will need to be replaced (auxiliary barracks for Hellenic and noble barracks for Eastern).
0.95
-We are tentatively planning various faction overhauls and fundamental changes to both garrisons and mercenaries. This will be the final content update before our actual release version.
1.0
-This version will contain no new content and will be focused solely on polishing the mod and fixing minor errors, balancing, etc.
- 1.0 WILL NOT BE SAVE COMPATIBLE. We will be removing unused parts of the mod. Due to this, I will be uploading an entirely new Steam version when 1.0 hits.
1.1 and beyond
- We have many plans beyond 1.0. These include Eastern faction overhauls and possibly adding many new cultures. We will continue making the mod better and working on advanced features and ideas.
