Characters are all 200+years old

[SleepyJo]

I actually dont mind the game, issues and all but this has been an issue with mine since Cicero, I typically like playing as Pyrrus or maybe some random family in Rome, but i cant play as EVERY character of the major nations are 240 something years old, Ive reinstalled both my game and my STEAM, deleted caches , everything, verified game files, I want to play but i honestly hate this bug.

As far as I know it is unique to you, so it really must be a local issue rather than a bug as such.


Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Imperator
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Imperator AND Documents/Paradox/Imperator folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add imperator.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Imperator or Documents Imperator locations, before installing again.
