Here it is! The newest version of Bellum Imperii! Check the changelog for more details about the changes!
Before you all get started, I would first like to point out that you all have to take into account that there are still bugs to be expected! It's a great mod (not as in status but in size) and due to the fact that there has been a gap of a year without development it was pretty hard for me to recall what had to be done without testing. Also, not everything may be 100% finished in one way or another. I will however release a hotfix within a week of the initial release to sort any gamebreaking bugs out and help you lads to get going again!
Make sure to report any bugs you can find!

Ave
Thanks!!!
1.4 is finally here! Thanks for all your hard work.
you can't see it...but i'm smiling :)
i miss u night wolfes :(
Now this is what I've been waiting for. Absolutely epic, thank you so much for your hard work! You have made your people very happy.
yes,yes,yes!
So many months and two years, it's finally here... :D
Almost every German Tribes' Troops can't be upgraded :(
Hi ! just wanna say this mod is awesome!! and i want to report that the centurion hamata armor is glitchy.
Things like this are what give me so much faith in the modding community for this game. Two years of hard work, and you kept at it. You have my thanks, and my respect.
I can't recruit egyptian levy, how I do?
Always when I go to an egyptian village to recruit I only can recruit roman serf...
How I can do it?
Thanks!
Another think that is wrong that is when you create a character of eastern culture, auctomatically when u starts the game you become of roman culture
Did anyone know where to find ponie? i have tool now just ponie left.
I wonder if the Germanic tribesmen still look like wops..
Impressive work!
Bugs found so far in 1.4 (I put them in the TW forum also but I'm not sure which one you look first so I repeat here):
-Mediolanum has no village, has only an empty scene with villagers and elder
-CTD entering the Tarentum arena (i suppose there is no scene too)
- Some new Roman armour have a low price compared with other much less powerful
- The Skullcap that I reported before has no texture yet
- Armours which are supposed to give some bonus actually give no one
hi nice mod ! but where can i find roman horseman

VERY stunning visuals, awesome job.
From a gameplay perspective too much near Brytenwalda for my taste. Needs work still. In example the salaries for companions are exorbitant, much lessening their usefulness even when leveled up.
Anyone else getting like 15 village textures not loading when they start in game? Any idea how to fix or bigger game issue? Love this Mod!

Bugs so far:
-in many cultures, i can't upgrade the troops i recruit from villages. for example, the only german barbarian faction i can upgrade from are chatti, all others the option to upgrade to spearman/swordsman is not there, so they stay younglings forever
-i crash every time i try to walk around the streets in marobudum
-skullcap mesh error messages
-all the villages have roman culture, reguardless of location. for example, many of the barbarian factions have towns with the barbarian culture, which i am, but when i go to villages attached to those towns it says my culture is hated by the population, and the villages walking around in the scene are listed as roman peasants.

Nice Mod but a little bit to Difficult to make Money i run the entire time from Town to Town to try to Trade as enemy's i rarely see and when i found 1 they run away or if im lucky and get them they drop only junk.Working as Freelancer for a Lord make no sense as he pay you near nothing and the Items for your Class you give after you left him back.Try it to be 120 Days Freelancer for the Roman but at the end i was exact where i was before that.With near no money and no better Items.Troops eat to much you must fill up your entire Inventory with Food or if not you must move from Village to Village only to feed 100 Mens.Companions can Die in Battle Recruit 2 right at the start and both die in the First Battle as they need ages to level up to be half decent a little bit stupid.Arena is really unfair and need some Balance.You get near always the Speer and the Enemy Great Axe or Axe and Shields.You will lose in that way 95% of the Fights as with the Speer is near impossible to hit in Close combat.Then the reward is a Joke for a Torment Win you get a little bit Exp and 200 Gold.And a Message oh we are sorry but we don't have a better Price for you and that at Rome the riched City at that time :)
