Rome: Total Realism, Imperium Surrectum

RTR: Imperium Surrectum is a total overhaul mod for Rome: Total War Remastered with a focus on historical accuracy alongside fun and challenging gameplay. RIS 0.7 marks a major new release, reflecting over two years of research and hard work to refine and expand the mod.

With 0.7, RIS greatly expands and revamps the whole base game:

On top of this, RIS 0.7 adds major new systems for:

These changes ensure a far richer campaign, with a scale and diversity that far surpasses the original game.

The main RIS experience has two separate campaigns, one for a unified Roman faction and one with four Roman factions and senate missions closer to the vanilla set-up.

The new release also launches a new RIS Light campaign with similar depth and mechanics but a smaller scale. 600 settlements and a half-sized map make for quicker and more decisive campaigns. The Light campaign also features a 1Roman or 4Roman campaign.

Each of the campaigns has its own mod folders.

This wiki documents the new additions and the main systems found in RIS 0.7, for the main campaign.
