Are the NPC sprites and artwork avaialble separately? I want to use something like what you have in this game for a D&D game I am playing. Please let me know, I'm happy to pay for a copy of the game.
Hello Matbrooks84. I am not entirely sure if I understand what you are asking for. All the illustrations are copyrighted (if that is what you are asking).
I am running a D&D game set in Ancient Greece and I just wanted a large group of Ancient Greek looking NPC's to use. Is there a way to pay for personal use of all the artwork?
Reading Gustav Droysen's epochal Hellenism-trilogy at the moment, this game seems right up my alley. May I ask if there is a DRM-free version available (or if the Steam-version is DRM-free = doesn't need the client after the game is installed)?
By the way: May I ask why you decided to give the game the title "Imperiums"? It's not the correct latin ("Imperia") nor english plural. Is it for recognition value? I don't want to be cocky, just wondering. ;)
The only available way how to install the game is via Steam (due to multiplayer functionality using Steam API). There is no additional DRM protection applied, yet you always need Steam client for running the game - like I said it uses Steam API calls.
Regarding the title name - you are right, plural of Imperium in latin is Imperia. Yet, the title is not in latin, it is fully in English.
We decided for this title for number of reasons and one of them was that the word Imperiums is grammarly correct, yet not used much (and therefore the title will be easy to recognize and google;)
Ah yes indeed, my fault, sorry! I really wasn't aware that Imperiums is an english plural form (I thought of Empires as the only one). I'm no native speaker though... ;)
I understand, is there a chance to get your game on another platform DRM-free sooner or later?
If you are asking whether the game will be available any time soon for other platform than Steam, I have to disappoint you - we want to focus on the game improvements and additional features instead of porting it to another platform(s). Have a nice weekend, too!
Ok, no problem, I know that Steam has many advantages for developers. If the game will ever be available on any DRM-free platform (itch, gog or wherever) I'll be sure to pick it up. Thanks again and take care!

We can hardly prevent you from using the illustrations for personal usage and we can even harder find it somehow out:)
If it is for your home usage, I am sure it is ok:) The assets are part of the game. Thank you for the purchase if you decide to buy it.
But are the assets available to open in a folder separately or are they just in the game?
They are in several folders

Hey, you might like Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece. It's available on GOG.
Thank you for the tip. I already own Hegemony Gold on Humble. ;)
Ah fair enough - it's generally a bit obscure but it's also an excellent game if you like the setting!
