Imperiums celebrates its second anniversary. Celebrate with us!

July 30th marks exactly two years from the launch of Imperiums: Greek Wars.
It was a big step for us – we decided to strike out on our own and take care of everything from the beginning to the end ourselves, starting from designing, programming, testing, marketing to release and following support. Two years is quite a long time, so allow us to look back and remember some of the greatest achievements.

Imperiums has received altogether 28 major updates since the release of version 1.0.0. and approximately three times as many patches. We publish a changelog with every update to sum up the most important changes, improvements, and bug fixes. The frequency of updates has stabilized on an update every two months or so, and we plan to continue to support the game further on.

Imperiums supported six languages at launch: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Czech. That in itself was a major achievement, and we bow to our community translators not only for managing such a large quantity of texts but for keeping the quality of translations on a top level. Considering the size of our studio and amount of texts that strategy games usually have, six official languages is an amazing feat! That’s just a beginning, though. Several other volunteers have jumped in after release wanting to have Imperiums in their own mother tongue. With their help, players now can play Imperiums in Japanese, Polish, Italian, and Chinese. Ten localizations was far beyond our dreams when we started few years back, and we do our best to keep all these languages up to date for all campaigns both already released and planned. So once again, thank you to our wonderful translators!



We have unfortunately identified some bugs over the two years that were missed during development. There are over 300 fixed bugs in our internal system, and the simplest ones were not even recorded as they were fixed right away. However, we still cannot say that we are done. :) There are currently approximately 200 outstanding bugs, suggestions, possible improvements, and changes that we go through based on priority and time. Many of the changes both implemented and waiting for realization have been added thanks to your suggestions. We are grateful for such active feedback; speaking to our community is important to constantly improve the game, and we hope you will keep the suggestions coming.

We have published two expansion packs in those two years and another one is almost at the door. Four months after release of the main campaign we published Imperiums: Troy, a small tactical scenario with couple of significant changes to game rules, ideal for a one-evening game or a multiplayer game with few friends. This DLC is free as a thank you for your continuous support.

It took us another ten months of hard work to finish the next expansion pack Imperiums: Age of Alexander, a big DLC with a huge map and several significant new features such as units in reserves, regional centers, emissaries, and more granular economic micromanagement.

And what lies ahead?

You might have already noticed the news about the upcoming DLC Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage. It is shaping up to be the best campaign ever released within the Imperiums framework. It will include a huge map covering the entire Mediterranean and some of the important neighboring regions. You can try your luck playing any of the 25 playable factions. This expansion pack, like those before, will bring some new elements such as migrating tribes, multiturn events, mandatory objectives, and historical events. We tried with this DLC not to increase the difficulty and complexity of the game but rather expand the existing mechanics and make them more interesting. Our goal was to make the game more alive to increase your immersion and engagement.

Make sure you have the DLC in your wishlist and don’t miss the launch discount!

Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage is not the end of the Imperiums journey, though. We are already working on another small expansion ideal for a few-evenings game or multiplayer session. The topic and era are very interesting even if a bit obscure. More details will be revealed soon after the release of Rome vs Carthage.

And what else is in the pipeline? We have many plans and hope that this smaller expansion will not be the last one. We would like to publish at least one more major DLC similar in scope and size as Rome vs Carthage, but this is dependent on the interest in the previous DLCs. So, if you want to support further development, get a copy of Rome vs Carthage! :)

What is left to say… Perhaps a simple “Thank you”! Thank you for the support of our translators, community, testers, and all you players who have bought the game and/or any of the DLCs. And special thanks to players who left a review for the base game as well as for the expansion packs. The game will not be alive without you, so please, stay with us!

Yours,
Kube Games team.
