INSTALLATION
Many of the errors reported in this forum are linked to installation issues. If you follow the instructions below, the mod should work as intended.
PREPARATIONS
In order to play Imperium, you need to have Europa Universalis: Rome with Vae Victis installed and patched to version 2.31. It is also necessary that you play the game in English, since other languages are not supported by the mod at the time being. You can change your game language in settings.txt, which can be found in your installation directory. For example, if you are playing in German, you need to replace l_german with l_english.
INSTALLATION
Please follow these steps to the letter.
DELETING MAP CACHE
If you are unfamiliar with mods, it may feel a bit drastic to delete contents of the original game directory. This, however, is not a drastic measure at all. Map cache is automatically regenerated by the game during start-up. Consequently, deleting map cache doesn't affect your original installation in any way.
DATA ERRORS IN WINRAR
In some versions, I forget to remove all gfx files (GIMP work files). If you haven't got GIMP installed on your computer (don't worry, you don't have to), WinRAR will report an error. This doesn't prevent the directory from extracting, though, as you can just ignore these files.
If you have any difficulties, please post in this thread.

INSTALLATION
Please follow these steps to the letter.
- Download the latest version of Imperium.
- Extract the files with WinRAR (which you can download for free at www.rarlab.com).
- Move the extracted files to your mod folder. Normally, this directory can be found in C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis - Rome.
- Clear the map cache, by opening C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis - Rome\map\cache\ and deleting everything except the folder called province_textures.
