If you want peace, prepare for war.

This mod collection is a total conversion for Rome II with a historical approach, keeping a balance with the gameplay, and aiming for a more challenging and epic experience. Every aspect of the game has been revamped and adapted to achieve a unique experience: graphics, interface, campaign and battle mechanics and artificial intelligence, units that in many cases include regional variations, special effects and weather; are some of the parts that have been thoroughly revised, combining aesthetics and gameplay, to evoke Antiquity in all its splendor.

FAQ for Para Bellum


1. Place the different Para Bellum parts in alphabetical order in the Mod Manager (you can find and subscribe them below). Para Bellum has a modular design, so you can use the parts that you want, as each one can work as standalone.

BUT if you want to play with ALL the Para Bellum main MODs (Campaign, Combat, Effects, Factions, Interface and Weather) better SUBSCRIBE to the Full Collection instead of all these individual parts:
Also take into account that Para Bellum - Population is optional, so is provided apart, and Para Bellum - Units is split in three parts (all required), because they exceed the Mod Manager maximum upload size.

2. Go into Options-> Mods in the game menu and enable the use of user Script mods.

3. Para Bellum - Effects requires to subscribe the mod, own the Blood & Gore DLC and choose and download one of the files at:
-> click to download[1drv.ms]
- Para Bellum - Effects movie.pack <- Includes blood, dust, fire and smoke effects.
- Para Bellum - Effects Lite movie.pack <- Only blood effects (less GPU intensive).
Put the chosen file in the "data" folder of the game directory, located in: \Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II\data.
- Go into Options-> Mods in the game menu and enable the use of Movie type mods.
- Set the terrain quality to Very High/Ultra to prevent blood stains to disappear from the ground.

4. Optionally you can install GEMFX for a more vivid and realistic lighting. The installer, instructions and a custom preset is included in the descriptions of the Para Bellum - Weather and Collection mods

Enjoy!

- As a total overhaul, Para Bellum is only compatible with the mods included in the Para Bellum submods & Compatible mods Collection.

- Multiplayer compatibility only if both players have exactly the same contents (mods and/or GEMFX installed and subscribed). Also the Para Bellum Multiplayer patch is highly recommended (contained in the Para Bellum submods Collection).

- Compatible with all DLC campaigns and contents.

- Ancestral Update (Patch 20) compatible.
