FAQ for Para Bellum

Remember that below in the description you have custom Reshade and GEMFX profiles, to obtain realistic and vibrant lighting and colors.

New dynamic weather presets with natural lighting. Also includes custom terrain and grass/bush textures to better represent the five major climates involved in the the game: Atlantic, Continental, Desertic, Eastern and Mediterranenan.

GEMFX instructions:
Copy the profile file GEMFX_settings.cfg (make a backup of the original one) into the Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Total War Rome II \ GEMFX \ Presets \ Current folder
According to your preferences or to improve performance, you can uncheck the Additional Shader options like the Ambient light or blur effect (activated with F2 key) that combines flawlessly with the Low Depth of Field in-game option.

Or manually set the preset in GEMFX:
- GEMFX tab: just tick No Gem Shader and Ambient light (GodRays optional).
- SweetFX tab: HDR (Power 0.8, Radius 0) and Vibrace (Amount 0.05, Balance RGB=1). You may adapt the values depending on your preferences or monitor calibration.

How to install GEMFX:

1. Don´t subscribe to GEMFX in the Steam Workshop, it is outdated and includes files that may conflict with your game and this mod, instead:
2. Download GEMFX.zip (link above), run the GEMFXSteamInstaller.exe and GEMFXv1_0_9.exe and manually select the main directory of the game as the installation path, for both installers:
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Total War Rome II \
3. If properly installed you will see two new folders in this location, called GEM and GEMFX:
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Total War Rome II \ GEM
Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Total War Rome II \ GEMFX

Optionally, the HDR effect can be deactivated (especially if there is any graphical glitch, what can happen with some old graphics card models). To do this open the GEMFX_Configurator.exe (which is in the main folder of the game) and in the SweetFX tab disable the HDR box and click on "Save configuration".

Even though Para Bellum is designed in a modular way which facilitates compatibility, each part is independent and is specifically designed to work together with the other mods of the collection. Please note that Para Bellum includes lots of new tables and thousands of new entries, and if combined with other mods of the same type or that share content, it will be overwritten and will mess up proper functioning although the game runs apparently fine. Therefore, I only bring support for the mods included in the Para Bellum Official Mods and the Submods and compatible mods Collections that you can find above in the description.

- Multiplayer compatibility only if both players have exactly the same contents (mods and/or GEMFX installed and subscribed). Also the Para Bellum Multiplayer patch is highly recommended (contained in the Para Bellum submods Collection).

- Multiplayer compatibility only if both players have exactly the same contents (mods and/or GEMFX installed and subscribed).

- Compatible with all DLC campaigns and contents.

- Ancestral Update (Patch 20) compatible.

This mod would have not been possible without the modders who very kindly gave me permission to use their terrific content in this project. My sincerest thanks and appreciation of incredible hours of hard work and dedication, goes to:
