- This time in Imperator: Rome, we're trying to form Gaul. By the way, I mean it, we can't let this game die... because it's funny but also because it's fun! You should try Imperator yourself, but make sure to get the Invictus Mod. Paradox Interactive might've stoppped full development, but that doesn't mean we have to stop playing it!

Laith: "Lemme reduce the military maintenance"
also Laith: "Why do I have so little morale and am losing the battles?"
I feel personally attacked
@@TheSocialStreamersyou ARE personally attacked!! 😂
@@TheSocialStreamers well no wonder you are personally attacked, your army fled and your bodyguard didnt even show up without their salary, so yes you are the only one on the battlefield.
You should run before more is coming
Laith is single-handedly bringing back Imperator
and im definitely grateful for it, because its my favourite paradox game. it's amazing
Don't discount Zlewikk, he has some good playthroughs too xD
Lord lambert also has some good content for imperator
id say the invictus mod team are doin that
Ngl he made me start a Macedon game after not touching the game for over a year
13:25 - When you siege down provinces you enslave some of the population, usually only 1 or 2. If the province only has a population of 1 or 2, it becomes depopulated. This is what the little heads with numbers next to them are when you finish a siege.
I hate that it becomes decolonised because then you need to either wait very long for assimilation or accept the culture nearby to colonise it, and it can block missions for a very long time.
@@arkadiuszrenc1498 Alright, first of all if you're expanding far enough that you have none of your accepted pops close enough that you can easily just shuffle some slaves over, you should probably accept more cultures, preferably the largest of each culture group. At the very least this gives you access to more military traditions.
Second, set up a colony in a culture you do not intend to give citizenship close to where the de-populated province is. This will move primary culture pops to a province that culture controls, as well as give assimilation and migration buffs, which means you can easily re-populate the province.
Also make sure to have a vegetable surplus in your capital, it makes shuffling slaves around a lot cheaper.
@@zigedelic3909 but I want everyone to be Roman
@@arkadiuszrenc1498 Roman missions give massive bonuses to culture conversion and set up heaps of colonies. If you're struggling to expand in to de-populated areas as the Romans, you're just straight bad at the game.
@@arkadiuszrenc1498That’s boring. I wish we had Romanize population instead of everyone being Latin. Like Romanize Celts or something. The main Roman strength was their diversity, acceptance, and tolerance.
19:27 - This one took me a while, but when you're playing a tribe you *need* to tether your cavalry armies to your infantry armies, or you'll just lose your cavalry. You can detach them to carpet siege if you feel confident they won't get attacked, but when you're fighting you'll do better with them attached.
I wish I knew that sooner thousand of people death that finnaly make me understand it
From personal experience I can report, your comment continues to save the lives of thousands to this day...
Imperator was and is underrated and deserves more love!
Also, there is only Rome
Imperator disaster save when?
@@elijahmarshall9787 every game of Imperator I play is a disaster
Laith, you can bring your levies up before you go to war. It makes it easier to prepare a strategy when you do it that way.
You can WHAT
@@TheSocialStreamers yes it isnt like ck3.
@@TheSocialStreamers I've been watching you played ir for so long and just find out you didn't know this🤣
@@TheSocialStreamersyou should also use the levy map mode to spawn your levies in since that allows you to have control over what province your levies will spawn in and so you can get them closer to the frontline earlier. ( though as a tribe it has less meaning since the tribal chiefs armies will spawn in both the regional capital and the province you selected) but as a civilized nation it will spawn the whole levy of the region in the province that you clicked
Also another tip would be that the ai almost always has their forts mothballed at the beginning of every war and so if you declare your wars on the first of a month you can blitz down the forts of the nations you are at war with and assault a half strength garrison, allowing you to end those small wars in days instead of years which will save you on war exhaustion,tax, and manpower
‘’Why are they beating us’’
Your troops are on frontal assault while not having heavy infantry nor cavalry. They’re basically doing a banzai charge with archers.
Is that not how your supposed to use archers.
@@JesusChrist-bx8ge No, it’s the worst tactic to use archers, they show you the stat and the best overall tactic in the menu.
Frontal charge (the one he used) is the best with either heavy cavalry and heavy infantry or if you mix both.
@@jumperwilli7770 I was memeing silly haha
@@JesusChrist-bx8ge I was wondering lol, I knew it might possibly be a joke, but somewhat imagine someone might actually believe this haha.
have over 300 hours in the game since you started playing this game, i've already joined mr laith
I mean if you actually want to resurrect the game just host lots of big MP games, fund mod creation, and make a community out of it.
An agot mod for imperator Rome would be great maybe more stable than ck2 while being less "demanding" than ck3.
Plus there are boats and the map looks better than ck3 with the cities growing and the multiple wonders appearing on the map.
We will not allow this game to die! Who's with me?
It's already died, we're trying to resurrect it
Legionary Titus Pullo, step forward!
to arms!!
I'm finally kinda understanding a little of IR, after giving up not long after initial release.
Should give it another go! 2.0 fixed 90% of the game and Imperator Invictus another 9%. It's a legitimately decent game now :)
@@zigedelic3909 Ah, that's what I meant. I gave up and then came back to it very recently.
Loving the Imperator Rome Content❤
When you are playing a tribe, your research ratio actually doesn't matter too much until you get 100% centralisation (it will be low whatever you do). What matters is special traits that your researchers have. If the researcher has a Scholar (and some others) trait, the event which gives free innovation can (and will) fire. These traits show up conveniently when you choose a researcher; ideally you want to fire the guys with these traits from other offices, capture them in wars, befriend them from another countries etc.
Regarding the depopulation: I've seen others answer, but here is a slightly more in-depth version:
When a province is sieged by a hostile army, a number of pops have a chance to die or be enslaved. This is partially random chance, but is also based on the besieging country's enslavement efficiency. There is a cooldown on this effect to prevent rapid depopulation. However, complete depopulation can still occur in frequently-besieged, low-population provinces. Tribal countries are particularly prone due to their low population density.
Note: pops are not killed or enslaved by zone of control changes.
tip for playing tribal or with lots of levies: you can link armies together so that you can select just one army to move them all and prevent the cavalry stacks from dying in battles. You can also click control and a number key while having an army selected to set a quick hotkey for it, though doing that setup for every war can get a little annoying
You can also deman white peace without getting to 10 warscore by going on the offering tab, not on the demand one. It is stupid, but it is how it works.
I remember somehow beating Rome as BOI and becoming the new BOI empire
Is that you ISP?
Tip: If you have high AE and/or War Exhaustion, use 'Invoke Devotio' in the religious tab (right under divine sacrifice). This increases your tyranny, which reduces your AE, and decreases your WE. I use it all the time, makes AE almost a non-issue.
And you're making tributaries, but those are extremely useless. Yes, they give you money, but after a while they will cease their tribute and you will probably end up annexing them anyway. Taking land is almost always better in my opinion.
personally i like making tributaries because they will eventually offer to become a client state if you give them happy enough their
this doesn't work for tribes anyways so in case he definitely shouldn't have done that
To increase stability, you need to stab the pig at the top of the religious tab 😆
This game was fun! But my issue was that I never really wanted to play the random tribes. I enjoyed playing as Rome, Carthage, all the greeks/alexanders generals, but I never had fun playing as obscure tribes. Whereas with EU4 I feel that every nation is interesting and unique. Imperator just lacked that replayability
That is still the problem I have with the game. I love the systems and have several hours into Heraclea Pontiac but other then Rome, Cartage and the Greek states I can't find will to play any other state
I mean, I could probably live with some random no-name tribes not having any content, but then you have countries like Parnia/Parthia or Maurya not have any despite how important they were.
The game really needed another DLC or two to actually be complete. I:R being dead means that mods can be worked on with little to no worry about breaking the game, but it also means that anything that can't be modded can't be fixed.
You should join up with Zlewikk, give this game it's deserved popularity
Day 2 of asking for a 3rd crusade Jerusalem playthrough
You should play Parnia and unite the dahae to invade seleukid to create Parthian Empire. They start as a migratory tribe so you can raise all your population to create a massive army. It's fun, but risky because when you raise your population you uncolonzie your provinces.
The soundtrack of this game is so good :)
Always loving the Imperator Rome videos! I know little about this era and I would like to hear some history about this time in your videos a bit more if you know some.
I’m a simple man, I see rare Imperator content, I click
simple indeed
Nice, Imperator is a good game.
Unironically started playing this game again because of you and since the last update it is fantastic! Thanks for bringing it back to my attention :) i've been on a binge and did an iberia, germanic, pontus and kushor playthrough so far and im not done yet.
Mr. Laith, I am sad. The honorable Dinostan is just one click away and eager to play Imperator with you and yet we still haven't heard from you. We hope you reach out and make the greatest multiplayer game of all time happen.
Our great Mongolian throat singer is probably a little too unhinged for Laith and most Paradox UA-camrs in general. I'd struggle to reconcile how Laith would react to someone LARP-ing about how Arthur Morgan went back in time to a Greek city-state and created a hegemony just to find an emo girl. Or doing the Family Guy intro in the Shogun 2 announcer's voice. Or a struggle between Brendan Frasier and The Rock.
Also, Dino is a low-key, talented musician and voice actor. Probably the funniest and most creative -horror- grand strategy guy out there.
the migratory tribe shenanigans when the game was still in the early phase was so good to watch
Laith wear a toga in all your Imperator videos, I am again asking this of you as your humble devotee
I would like a part 2.
20:16 NOOOOOOOOO, big mistake! Levy size is king! Easily the most important military stat and it's not even close!
I keep playing this game frequently, the vanilla version. I am missing 8 achievies. Everything you are doing I have done. And that makes me happy. Bring it back to life!!!!
Laith is so proud für reviving imperator but he has every right to.
Really enjoyed this, hope to see more!
I was promised Gaul. Please continue this series and form Gaul. Then annex Rome and see how they like it.
Do it Laith, do it now.
If you play as Arvernia for this, you get added RP bonus as that's the tribe Vercingetorix hailed from.
The BEST paradox game. Beautful map and tons of options for more content honestly way more than eu4 im so mad this game got abandoned but thank you for trying to revive it
27:15 you were speaking on how Britannia was considered a mythical location at this time, but that was a more prevalent belief the further south you went. In fact, the northern Gauls were rather well connected to the Britons and had significant diplomatic and economic ties (at least, as complex as you could get for their governmental development)
And there are even a few registers of people going all the way from Greece to Britannia to trade tin during the bronze age. I mean we are a species that literally sailed around the globe for spices, people really shouldn't be surprised that we always did stupidly hard things if it benefited us somehow lol
I love the game and really appreciate it that you push it so much. Thank you
Glad to see more Imperator Rome
please start using the levy map mode it actually lets you choose where to raise your armies and doesnt just randomly raise them everywhere
Keep these coming I'm enjoying the game!
Imperator is currently 75% off at $9.99 on steam, $16.86 for everything.
I really enjoyed that video and would like to see a part 2
I look forward to the second part.
caranusca today is called Canach. There are no obvious remains of roman settlement left, but I can see how you could fortify the valley, since I grew up right next to it :)
i've been playing it for a few months and it's a straight up banger, so many possibilities and gameplays you can't possibly get bored
Resurrection hype train!!! This game honestly deserves so much more love. Especially with the Invictus mod
Laith, please make a somewhat non-beginner's guide to this game... I find it really difficult to figure out and after a few hours all my empires start falling apart
thats what happened to me untill i figured out ASSIMILATION. you need that and people will be more happy overall! (its in the state stuff)
@@Walesball1214 This. You either need to convert people to your religion and culture or go through the process of giving them rights.
However, consider what you're doing beforehand. I just started playing again after three years as Parnia and more or less screwed myself out of playing Parthia since I didn't take the event to fight the Selucids because I got out of a tough war and didn't want to die. Now that I got Parthia, though, because they lost their satrapy status, it would be suicide to switch because now I have over a 1000+ Dahae pops and like less than 200 Parthian pops.
I’m playing the game now after seeing one of Laith’s recent videos. It isn’t a bad game and still has lots of potential.
PDX should never have abandoned it, as it is an unwritten contract we have with them that we forgive their sometimes shoddy releases if they keep improving the game after. I’m more mad about this than the state of Vic 3, because at least they are improving that game still.
That’s the big thing: people are fine with PDX’s reputation for games that become great with age, but veterans are so used to the games they enjoy (EU4, VIC2, etc.) having a lot of features that they criticise PDX for ‘barebones’ releases. This is especially show by CK3 (a game I love). I see a lot of CK/CK2 players complaining about it because it doesn’t have 10000 DLC yet, whereas it clearly has more potential than release CK/CK2
6:58 Laith learns that people die in war
this game is amazing it was one of my first paradox games!
I recently bought this because of your vids. Already have 3 hours and loving it.
Yay
my favorite part about Milan is the fact that it was founded by the Gauls
Actually got the game yesterday, having a lot of fun with it!
I must thank you Laith, I love this game and really want people to see how good it actual has become compared to launch, and I also dream of having some MP action in the game, since that could be very fun tbh
Bought it on discount like a month or two ago, I support you Augustus Laith! For the Res Publica Romana!
Diplomaticlly making people join your side with valid arguments and persuasion:🤓
Bribing the sh*t out of them:🗿
Yes yes yes, I love this time period and pdx games. I wish the support hadn't been cancelled. Going ro get this one on sale.
Host a mega multiplayer game to bring it back
What if Gaul be the new "Roman" Empire and conquer a lot of territories?
Yayyyyy more Rome
Imperator is on sale as well. 10 bucks.
Forts delay enemies from occupying a province and they increase it's loyalty.
Some sources mention forts having a Zone of Control function. This seems to just revert occupations. It doesn't block movement like in EU4.
to get larger levies, make sure the pops where you raise them are considered citizens, greatly increases the size of your levies per province
21:52 - Switch to offering peace rather than demanding peace. It will remove the 10 warscore requirement, which would have let you white peace here.
It's funny seeing "anglia" on the map here and being reminded that technically the original england is schleswig-holstein
How can such a vague title sound so good for a game i never seen before
Thanks Laith when I saw your video I had the gaule... XD
Imperator Rome deserves far more attention than Victoria III. The main issues it has was it's terrible launch and lack of features, which could have been fixed.
I commend you Laith, I have ~720 hrs on the game and the AI is so timid I need to make my drama militarily at times [Dec on multiple big hitters to make it a challenge]
I like observing the ai while watching UA-cam. And I think the lack of aggression comes from war exhaustion. Rome will have 6000 pop and be in a war with a 3 pop tribe. But they will raise every levie available and take a year moving troops to the border. Meanwhile war exhaustion just keeps going up.
Me and some friends have actually played a bunch MP games in Imperator the past few weeks. Totally still a fun game.
This game deserves either new dlc or a new Imperator game
This was the first paradox game I bought. I had played eu4 hoi4 and ck3 a bit but I spent money buying this one and I don’t regret it. It’s an amazing game that everyone should consider getting.
Have you tried ‘Full Mechanical Overhaul’ and ‘Terra Indomita’?
You got me to start playing, lol
Missions now have pictures?? Wow Imperator is really going back to life
43:19 "Take on the bigger powers, like testicles" interesting
I won't ressurect this game until you fulfil your promise of making non 1444 start dates cool
Before I even start this, I would recommend a simple how to for a lot of Imperator basics, especially stuff that differs from similar Paradox games. That would help resurrect the game by helping new players.
You can increase your stability by going into the Religion tab and clicking the "pig button", costs you some politicla influence to increase your monthly stability.
Please activate the accept all trade button in the trade tab! As well you should activate automatic trade management in your provinces helps reduce micromanagement. In your capital you should still micromanage because of the special bonuses for having 2 of the same tradegood
Thanks for bringing Imperator back!
The fabled 2am upload
Easiest way to form Gaul is playing with Arvernia because you starting with 1 city which is non of tribes have at the start of the game.
Me playing Necromancer in Diablo 4 and reviving the dead, while Laith is doing the same but with Imperator.
Got the game just need to play it
Just played a run for the Kingdom of David. Very fulfilling accomplishment for intermediate players looking for a challenge
You should try the Bactria and try to form India as Greco-Indians... one of history's most worthy crossovers, almost as random as Algonquian-Basque.... that and it's an incredibly fleshed out tree.
8:15 they're the province capital
I got so unlucky with my Treveria run. Got immediately hugboxed by two defensive leagues with nobody willing to ally; teched up ahead of everyone and singlehandedly dealt with them, and at this moment huge Rome was at my borders, I out-teched Rome and was able to hold them off long enough to get a white peace, but at the same time got attacked on other sides, with no manpower and my forts falling suspiciously fast at 7% I ditched the game. What a miserable experience lol
Laith is doing CPR on Imperator lol
Honestly I might buy it to try help bring it back
Briytania was part of the gaul empire, as well as parts of Iberia. They definitely knew it existed. The Roman's did not, however
Hey, great video for a great game.
You can lock armies to each other, then all armies will have same speed...
You should give Frisia a shot and do their missions. You can literally form the Anglo-Saxon kingdom with their missions, and its fun slowly manually migrating pops and then centralizing into a civilized kingdom.
I've revisited the game recently and I'm surprised by how good it is
It's so adorable how much Laith loves this game while being absolutely ignorant of all the mechanics.
