Para Bellum

Ladies and gentlemen, dedicated Total War fans, it is our delight to present to you Para Bellum, a detailed and transforming battle overhaul for Total War Rome II. Some of you may remember Spacing Stabilisation Overhaul or "SSO", a battle modification released a few months after the launch of the game. Well, this isn't it, nor is it an updated version of it. This is something better.

The ultimate goal of the mod is to revisit what we, the team behind Para Bellum, consider to be the golden age of Total War battles. Therefore, the Rome II battle mechanics have in many regards been changed to the very core. The result is battles that by and large are similar to those seen in Medieval 2, with influences from a variety of titles both before and after. Careful attention has been paid to details, making cultures and their associated armies stand out from one another.



Para Bellum offers a variety of features, including

• 1-HP system, carving a path for balanced and consistent missile damages
  
• 50 new, culture-specific unit arrangements
  
• Collateral damage: Cavalry charges will result in casualties for both sides
  
• Deployment zones closer to one another
  
• Re-arranged unit statistics and minor UI changes
  
• Changed unit recruitment costs, names and sizes

And many more, such as entirely reworked morale, unit combat values and battle pace. In addition to this, the modification Alii Colores Romae has been incorporated, giving units a more realistic and appealing look over vanilla. Details on this can be found in the credits below. All images were taken during the development phase of the mod, when ACR was not yet incorporated.

Without further ado, we encourage you to Prepare for War

Note!

When starting a new campaign, put the difficulty to medium. This is necessary because the AI receives unproportional combat bonuses at higher difficulty levels.
