We are happy to announce a public beta for our upcoming release version 1.3.6! This update includes new Epirus and Hellenic overhauls, Media Atropatene reworks, a pirates system update, lots of Empire Divided improvements and many other fixes and changes. The full patch notes can be found below.
This update is not compatible with the current Rome 2 Pantheon beta. We do plan on updating the mod for the game updates as we are able, but we will be holding off on that until those updates are completed and released. We have no time table for the mod’s compatibility with the upcoming various Pantheon game releases. Our current plan is to implement this 1.3.6 update for the mod and then focus on making the mod compatible with the full release version of the updated game at a later time.
Our mod beta is save compatible but most submods will probably have to be updated for full compatibility.
