Invictus is Latin for unconquered, undefeated; our English word 'invincible' takes its root here.

Given the unfortunate news concerning the game status, we thought it best to combat an attitude of defeat with a fighting spirit.

This mod is our effort to prevent this great game from going gently into that dark night. Thus we are embarking upon a grand effort by the modding community (based around the Imperator mod COOP) to develop community-driven DLC and keep the game alive, while we wait patiently for future updates from Paradox.

Within the lifespan of the current game, there have been various attempts to develop features for the game by the modding community, but these efforts have not yet been consolidated into a single grand work. By creating one grand modpack, we can ensure all smaller flavour mods we integrate are compatible with one another and thus players can enjoy the full experience developed by all the I:R modders. This modpack will merge many existing flavour mods, greatly expanding vanilla content while also adding brand new content developed by us, the Invictus team, without being a total rework.

It is not our intent to completely overhaul the game mechanics, as we want people to be able to play the mod and understand everything while having only played Vanilla.

Follow our dev diaries on the PDX forums

In terms of suggestions, our goal is that anyone familiar with only vanilla Imperator should be able to pick up the mod and play without trouble, all features must be either historical or reasonably plausible and fun.

As this is a community project, we will listen to and work in the interest of the Imperator: Rome community and we look forward to hearing from you!
