imperator rome 2.0.4 or imperator invictus?

[mikilvdicvs]

Is it possible to play imperator rome in any of its versions? Imperator rome in version 2.0.4 or imperator invictus? Is it playable and enjoyable in any of the versions? Which do you think is better? Thank you

You can play Imperator: Rome in any of it's versions from 1.0.3 to 2.0.4 by going in Properties>> Betas.
Imperator: Invictus is a mod for the game. Many mechanics are tweaked and there are many other formable nations, cultures, mission trees etc. over the base game. There is a seperate Wiki for Imperator Invictus.
You can read both and decide which one you want to play.
The last stable version is 2.0.2, I play that version always, and use mods sometimes for fun (playing Troy or playing as Alexander the Great which base game doesn't offer).

I think Invictus is compatible with beta patch.

As Invictus description says:

Imperator: Invictus is a grand modpack and community update to Imperator: Rome, also found on the PDX store here[mods.paradoxplaza.com].
(Achievement compatible on 2.0.4, works on Ironman and MacOS now)

I can confirm Invictus is compatible with the beta, that's what I've been playing, and I definitely recommend it. It's got everything vanilla has and more, but I don't think any of the changes or additions are too drastic or complicated to need to have played without it first.

As said above. Also, if you're an achievement hunter with ironman mode, there's also no reason now not to use Invictus since the latest 2.0.4 version enables achievements to be earnable when playing with mods enabled.

Just a heads up ladies and gents but latest patch has totally made all my Invictus MODS unplayable showing none of my play-sets and the patch was only applied 15 mins ago...

Saw this is on a decent sale, was considering playing it with Invcitus, has it been updated to work with the most recent version of the game?

Yeah, it is. Good game.

Play the vanilla game, it's fine. Buy DLCs if you want a bit more of it, add mods if you want more too.
I play the base game with DLCs and nothing is missing to have fun playing it.

Thanks!

Think I'll pick it up while it's on sale, give it a run on vanilla then one with Invictus.

Always start with the base first.Play the the designers vision before mods.
