About Imperator: Rome - Premium Edition PC
Alexander. Hannibal. Caesar. These great men and dozens like them shaped the destiny of a continent. Mighty kings, clever generals and would-be gods made their mark on the ancient Mediterranean. Around this sea, close knit nations tested their mettle and virtue against each other in fierce combat, their cultural and political legacy now inseparable from what we understand as Western Civilization. But nothing was guaranteed. Can you change the course of history in Imperator: Rome? Now includes the Punic Wars content pack. Imperator: Rome is the newest grand strategy title from Paradox Development Studio. Set in the tumultuous centuries from Alexander’s Successor Empires in the East to the foundation of the Roman Empire, Imperator: Rome invites you to relive the pageantry and challenges of empire building in the classical era.

While Paradox did abandon this game, which is rather unfortunate, the 2.0 update alongside the Imperator:Invictus and Better UI mod really do wonders to the game. It makes a highly replayable system that has sucked away a couple of hours of my life. The game can be rather challenging to get into, especially as many of the features are just explained, but a few online guides will get you into it rather quickly.
The Pros
Highly Replayable
Very pretty world map
intricate nations with a lot to do
The Cons
Abandoned by Paradox
Very steep learning curve
Unfixed bugs
Semi-frequent crashes

Time intensive
Whether this may be myself, I found the tutorial severely vague, there are many functions in this game and I did not have the patience to try figure them out, or watch the hour long videos made by gamers on YouTube.
In the end I resulted in playing Total War: Rome 2, I believe it is a much better option considering they are fairly similar in sense of overall gameplay.
