После очень долгого перерыва в работе над историческим модом To view the link Register 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.

Все не переведенные моменты в игре, не халатность, а сделано специально, т.к. мод сложный и многие скрипты с разным смыслом имеют одинаковый текст.
И чтобы выбор для игрока не дублировался, переводчик оставил оригинальные строки, дабы можно было понять, что выбираешь когда происходит событие.
Например:
Чего ты хочешь солдат?
гонку на колесницах
гонку на колесницах
гонку на колесницах
, а каждый выбор в оригинале различается.

Не переведенные файлы factions.csv, item_kinds.csv, item_modifiers.csv, parties.csv, party_templates.csv, skins.csv и troops.csv берем из перевода от frankenheim для Aut Caesar aut nihil v1.434 : To view the link Register
