Romanized Empire Era

Ever wondered why the 'Empire' Society was filled with Baron units? Well wonder no more! This is a simple mod that replaces all of the Empire's units with proper legionary Senator units across the map for more thematic games.

Please note this only applies when playing with Empire selected. Monarchy and Dawn of a New Empire are not affected by this mod in any way. It is suggested you just turn the mod off when not playing on Empire.

I made this mod in conjunction with the Senator Class mod (Latifundia, Limes, Legion), and I highly recommend using them both together.


Imperial Theme
All of the Empire's Baron units are converted into various Senator units, which should generally translate into mostly Hastatus, Princeps and Slingers. Magistrates are appointed to govern settlements, additional commanders are added thematically to some locations like the Capitolium and its districts.

Imperial Legions
The Empire will occasionally raise a legion at a random city on the map with which to pacify Elysium. Eventually the Emperor himself will raise personal legions of more elite units. As time progresses the empire will spawn Legions more frequently - functionally the Empire becomes more of an active player on the map.

Imperial Cults
Each of the 3 major cults in the Senator's roster, the Solar Cult, the Serpent Cult and the Renatus Cult, claims a city as their own as its headquarters at the start of the game. They will periodically send out their own patrols similar to the ones the Empire naturally spawns at guard towers, and will attempt to spread their cult to smaller settlements across Elysium.

Additionally Lars will potentially spawn in farms the Empire controls.


The mod should be compatible with pretty much any other mod that doesn't affect the Empire in any way.

If there is a compatibility issue it is probably related to conflicting numbers being used, if that is the case simply find the conflicting numbers and alter them in the c5m of this or the other mod. The following are the relevant numbers used in the mod:

Custom Terrains N/A
Terrain Groups N/A
Variables 8500 & 8501


The mod does pretty much everything I wanted it to but I may consider adding more thematic random events and maybe even event spawned barbarian invasions at some point.



If you like what I do and want to throw a few bucks my way I've opened a ko-fi account: https://ko-fi.com/hsmasher.

I'm also now taking mod commissions - if you've got a mod you'd like me to make for you, get in touch, if I like it and feel it's something within my ability to make I'd be happy to do so.
