PARA BELLUM: THE ESSENTIAL ROME 2 MOD! - Total War Mod Spotlights

From unlocking all factions, adding hundreds of new fantastic new units, overhauling economy, technology and building systems to enhancing campaign and battle AI as well as improving graphics the mod I’ll be showcasing today often comes up in debates on whether it’s better or not than Divide Et Impera which should say a lot.

So today I’ll be going through all the latest updates to the Para Bellum mod collection for Rome 2 Total War. A mod that sticks true to Vanilla in gameplay feel but that enhances almost everything that Rome 2 just didn’t do very well. I promise you guys that if you’re not that big into massive mods like DEI, you will absolutely love this one.

Thoughts about Para Bellum & this latest updates?

[JB-uelf]

This was a great review, but you left out one crucial thing. Para Bellum is extremely easy on your PC unlike WOTG or DEI which are very intense. Also the the lighting is improved to give a more realistic look to the environment and even units. Armor looks like armor and not clay or plastic. Battle animations are improves so that units actually fights during big clashes and in a more realistic way. Even elephant attack animations have been changed. Battlefields are larger and look beautiful. Try fighting during a sunsets with a red or orange sky. You’ll have to admire the view before you can even start the battle. I really can’t say enough good things about this mod. People reading this should try it out for themselves.

Mod creator, Ave Metal, is honestly so skilled, he can mod a lots of different aspect, very remarkable. He's also always kind and gentle, which is a great plus. Hope the mod get more and more content on the way, it's going to be amazing.

Thank you for spreading the word on this mod! Just tried it and it is a breath of fresh air for my next playthrough.

Looks really interesting! Also a great mod for people who are new to Rome II and want that extra bit of historical authenticity!

[asbjrnnielsen]

As always its a joy to see your enthusiasm for the mod community and spreading the love for TW

I like the battle kill animations, decapitation from this mod is awesome!

I just started a Carthage campaign in PB. Unfortunately I got Hannibal killed within the first few turns against Syracuse. I was wonder what the differences were from DEI and you articulated them well. My campaign has been interesting so far. A worthy mod to play.

Thank you so much for reminding me of this mod again, last time I played this mod as Rome, on turn 1 I already have +6000 per turn.... but now I see they fixed it, and I have 1400 per turn income at normal. Now it is playable :)

For me, the best part of this mod is the combat. Theyve managed go around the health bar problem that post Shogun 2 games had which led to inconsistent combat and made worse troops redundant. This means that frontlines will hold much longer and actually allows the battle to have a lot more structure.

Things like archer volleys will kill on the first go and cavalry rear/side charges will not oly morale shock but will drop units instantly rather than just chunk a huge bit of health.

It is very refreshing and feels great to play.

One of the biggest changes that needs to be made in Rome II is to make the battle function more realistic tactically; that is in battle, a unit that is losing should be pushed back, while winning units advance some. This is how it worked in the real world, and the lack of this dynamic in the game’s battle play makes it ridiculously ahistorical (well that and your general’s total awareness and instant control of units and barbarian units discipline).

Thanks for this! I’ve been looking for a mod that will give Rome 2 more features and not completely overhaul the game. Looking forward to trying it out. Once again your channel is the best Total war channel

[McClaneEver.]

You are my favorite Total War content creator. Great work.

[Miamcoline]

Amazing description all around. And thank god for the capture points being removed. Sega did those so poorly.

[herostrates]

Terminator, it's time to do a comparison of the top 3 mods, DEI, Para Bellum, Wars of the Ancient Gods. What you like and what you don't like the main advantages and disadvantages of these mods.

[eveei]

dei suffers from bloat imo, so this looks interesting

[ariadnaefece]

Would be awesome to see a campaign with this mod, there is mostly DeI and a bit of WAR of the GODS. I just found one campaign time ago with PARA BELLUM, and the AI beated the youtuber that is not something you see often, but he was playing this mod for first time, on VH...

[barrysworld]

Welcome back, Terminator! As usual, another great mod update/review! :)
Downloaded Para Bellum after your earlier review but haven't played it yet (but plan to immediately after this viewing this update/review), as have tons of mods to try out since discovering your channel many months ago. I do have one question relating to all these installed total war mods. With my computer HD now very full, is it difficult to uninstall total war mods downloaded from the Steam workshop? For example, is it enough to simply delete the mod or all parts of a mod from the Steam workshop mod list that you access when loading your game (ie Rome 2) or is there more to it than this such as actually deleting the mod files manually from the Steam game files on my computer? Thanks in advance for responding and keep up the great work.

[jeterminal]

Well DEI is too difficult and Vanilla now feels too easy after playing DEI so maybe this one is the way to go for me.

a suggestion - if u pause and show some clips of what u are talking about - it will be more engaging on what u are stressing about
For e.g - when u were talking about weather - it could have been helpful to show more clips of that
