[Download & Installation] Divide et Impera 1.3.2a - Updated April 16 2023

[Jake Armitage]

Any estimated time? I wanted to wait for an update before starting new campaign.

surely before the new year (most probably, Dresden will know more) but if I were you and if you wanna play just play the current version. Next one won't have many changes and it will be technically save game compatible (probably, Dresden will know more).

Why Steam ver. has 3 parts and TWC - two? Why not one file for TWC anyway? And as those two parts show bunch of conflicts in the launcher, it somewhat tingles my OCD. Is it okay, or even advised to merge two parts into one with, say, PFM? Or better not to?...

Steam: steam has 3 parts 'cause you can't upload large packs and so it has been divided into 3
TWC: twc has 2 files 'cause the first one contains db, txt, ui, scripts (so things sensible to changes) while the second one has startpos, textures, models (less sensible to changes). They are not conflicts, they are overwritings, so everything is fine. You can merge them but there is no reason to do it 'cause nothing will change.
If you haven't already done it, revert to old manager: Go to Rome 2 on STEAM/Right click/Properties/Betas/Select the beta you would like to use/launcher_release_canditate.

^ thanks for clarifying!

Is the Caesar in Gaul campaign supported by the mod? Because I tried it, and when the second army (near Tolosa) crossed the border to attack some Gauls up north, it suddenly became extremely slow. So slow that if this army wasn't at the edge of the control zone of the city, it couldn't move enough to reach the city and siege it. Is this a bug, or a feature related to the supply mechanics?

[Dresden]

It shouldn't run any differently from other campaigns. It should actually run better since the map is smaller and it has less reforms.

[Volodio]

I wasn't talking about the game. Sorry, that wasn't clear. It is the action points of this particular army which were reduced. The army's campaign range was so low that I couldn't siege the city unless I was on the edge of its zone of control. It was when I crossed the border and entered the enemy lands, in the territory I owned it was fine. And it wasn't the Alps (because I know it's supposed to be slow here).

Yeah, I was playing this campaign recently and that's true that during the winter you've got to be extremely careful where you move. If you get stuck in the middle of the forested area during the winter then the attrition will wipe out your whole stack before the spring comes. Initially, that was a bit annoying to me, too, but when you think about that's actually very realistic. The following things you should bear in mind;

* Caesar in Gaul is 24 turns per year campaign so the winter takes the whole 6 months and in many areas it's really harsh
* The map is much more zoomed in so if there is a large forested area it may take multiple turns to cross it. You must therefore plan in advance and make sure that if you need to cross it them you won't be caught by the winter in the process
* Thus, try to campaign in accordance with the seasons, setting of in the spring and pulling back for the winter.
* Stay on the roads as much as possible.
* Any artillery within your army stack will slow it down even further.
* While buffing up the movement points is always a good idea in each possible campaign, I've found it even more significant to do so in Caesar in Gaul. Buff your generals with the skills that give them extra movement and give them the appropriate ancillaries if you get any. The same applies to your agents that you can deploy together with the army and they will increase its movement points if they have the required skills. From what I remember, there is also one technology that boosts significantly the movement points, so try to research it asap.
* The supply carts might help, too. Though, I didn't test them properly in that campaign so I'm not 100% sure.

It wasn't in winter though. https://i.imgur.com/qjkLhZJ.png

well that's surely weird, I've checked and I don't see anything different for that campaign movement.
you may have something conflicting without even knowing it

try to use one of these packs (the higher the number the higher you can move), it will take effect from next turn

[Nochyan]

Thanks for the update and Happy New Year to the DEI team and the community

[FrontierWolf]

Thanks for the update and Happy New Year to the DEI team and the community

i echo these sentiments

[Nochyan]

Hm, seems ancillaries are still unruly, I missed on the head and the boots so far

[Basilius]

I asked this in the other thread but didn't receive an answer, so I'll try again here:

Any news on the Athens unit reskins?

[KAM 2150]

Not yet, they will be shown once they are done.

[nein]

I am using the emperor version of the game updated to 2.0 which I think is compatible? Anyway I am having a problem I cannot find the mod manager when I launch the game.

[KAM 2150]

You have it every time you start game on steam.

[Winston Smith]

Is this the right place to ask when the Empire Divided and Rise of the Republic campaigns are going to be fully DEI'ifed (it's a word!)

[Dresden]

Its been asked about 10000 times The issue here is that both of these are outside the mod's time frame and, therefore, would require basically 2 new overhaul mods made.

ED - I don't know when, if ever that will happen. Its possible some Constantine or other resources may be adapted here (there is a submod that does this already)

RoR - Most of the rosters have been updated to be what they will be for the future, I don't know of any plans to do more there for now.

Hi Dresden, thanks for replying ! I really love the work you've done for the mod, and have been constantly impressed and astounded by the work you've done. In particular, the way you've made Rome work and the unique & historical Auxiliaries for them work is fantastic, so I was hoping that this would be extended for these other timeframes and campaigns. Which I understand is a lot of effort, but please appreciate that this is coming from a love for you and yours work rather then anything else.

You mentioned a submod for Empire Divided. Any idea where I can find this?
