Скачать из нашего каталогаПосле очень долгого перерыва в работе над историческим модом Aut Caesar, aut nihil автор вновь с 13.12.2025 года стал выкладывать обновления, начиная с версии 1.0.0.4. Причем в steam и на nexus поддержка мода была прекращена. Огромное количество изменений в новых версиях (см. ниже) сделало этот мод достойным открытия новой темы.
На сегодняшний день актуальна версия приключений во времена правления Нерона Aut Caesar aut nihil v1.0.1.0 (от 03.01.2026)
Для корректной работы колесниц необходим запуск мода через WSE2.

If player has a military rank:
Recruit from the legion he commands
Recruit from the auxiliary unit he commands
No upkeep costs (paid by Roman treasury)
If player is governor:

Units need a commander (companion)
Raising a legion causes relationship loss with the Emperor
If relations with Emperor are low, player pays upkeep of his legion and auxiliary
Economy:
Slave skills influence work efficiency; some better for mining/agriculture
Max number of latifundia and workshops limited by household slaves and their skills
Efficiency of construction/administration influenced by household slaves
Household corruption represents slaves stealing from player
Latifundia purchasable by any culture if village culture matches player
Latifundia purchasable in deserts unless player is Germanic, Caledonian, Dacian, Bretonic, Sarmatian
Corruption (if faction leader):
Minister trade skill impacts performance
Low-skill minister complains about workload (done)
Low-relation minister steals money; steal amount scales with trade skill and relation
Higher trade skill + higher relation > higher taxes, lower waste
Poppaea is a terrible minister; Antonia is good
Corruption (if not Emperor/not faction leader):
With honorary title or office (governor, legate) you may be accused of corruption
Procurators may ask for bribes; bribing can ...

Piety changes by:
Making sacrifices

Winning divine challenges
Winning Olympics (uses Jupiter/Zeus as deity)
Building temples in latifundia or settlements
Raiding holy sites lowers piety (halved if player has different culture)
Sacrifices to disliked gods reduce piety
Switching to a god disliked by faction reduces piety
Dionysus events cause massive piety drop
1 piety per 5 cattle sacrificed
Effects of piety:
Low piety: lose renown; lose relation with lords

If player has a military rank:
Recruit from the legion he commands
Recruit from the auxiliary unit he commands
No upkeep costs (paid by Roman treasury)
If player is governor:

Units need a commander (companion)
Raising a legion causes relationship loss with the Emperor
If relations with Emperor are low, player pays upkeep of his legion and auxiliary
Economy:
Slave skills influence work efficiency; some better for mining/agriculture
Max number of latifundia and workshops limited by household slaves and their skills
Efficiency of construction/administration influenced by household slaves
Household corruption represents slaves stealing from player
Latifundia purchasable by any culture if village culture matches player
Latifundia purchasable in deserts unless player is Germanic, Caledonian, Dacian, Bretonic, Sarmatian
Corruption (if faction leader):
Minister trade skill impacts performance
Low-skill minister complains about workload (done)
Low-relation minister steals money; steal amount scales with trade skill and relation
Higher trade skill + higher relation > higher taxes, lower waste
Poppaea is a terrible minister; Antonia is good
Corruption (if not Emperor/not faction leader):
With honorary title or office (governor, legate) you may be accused of corruption
Procurators may ask for bribes; bribing can ...

If Roman marshal elected, he gets consul title
Remove dialogue about marshal election from normal lords; only kings keep it
Remove dialogue about fief selection

Piety:
Roman festivals:

Piety changes by:
Making sacrifices
Hosting games
Winning divine challenges
Winning Olympics (uses Jupiter/Zeus as deity)
Building temples in latifundia or settlements
Raiding holy sites lowers piety (halved if player has different culture)
Sacrifices to disliked gods reduce piety
Switching to a god disliked by faction reduces piety
Dionysus events cause massive piety drop
1 piety per 5 cattle sacrificed
Effects of piety:
Low piety: lose renown; lose relation with lords

Barbarian factions declare war on neighbors to loot if peace persists
Barbarian factions attacked by a superior enemy try to make peace with others
