After a rough Start, the Game became a Gem
It is an unfortunate habit of software publishers to release their products as bananaware that ripens at the customers, and «Imperator Rome» has been rightfully criticized for that in the beginning. It is also a nuisance that Matrix Games, Paradox and Slitherine -- as well as a countless number of other companies -- sell half a product first and then charge the purchasing price another two or three times for DLCs and other gimmicks before a game is finally complete and all that it could and should have been since its release. After having bitten the bullet, however, acquiring all the available DLCs and extras, and after three years of updates, «Imperator Rome» has become a very polished and fine-tuned historical 'simulation' whose complexity exceeds that of most other titles of this kind. Even better, there are no idiotic fantasy, time travel, sea monster, deity, zombie or other psychedelic elements that other developers ruin otherwise interesting titles with. Far too many games are ruined by a hodgepodge of nonsense from other eras, technologies or what have you that has nothing lost in the setting. Sticking to merely historical ingredients without unrelated crap makes this menu all the tastier. Yes, one has to pay for the salad, soup and dessert on top of the main course, but once you stomach that, this is a delicious dish to savour for the historical connoisseur. Disregard the reviews that were posted immediately after release (a mistake in general in our times of bananaware) and give the product a chance if the screenshots/videos are to your liking and you do not mind managing a complex system of all aspects of nation building -- you will most probably enjoy the ride.
