The newly released Imperium Edition update introduces a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and more, making the game even more engaging for Android and iOS players.

While the Imperium Edition update draws inspiration from mechanics seen in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, these additions are far from redundant.

Perhaps one of the most exciting additions is the support for keyboard and mouse controls on Android and iOS devices. This feature brings a familiar desktop experience to mobile, offering unparalleled tactical control and making it one of the best ways to experience the original Rome: Total War on mobile devices.
