Where Are Imperator: Rome Save Files Located?
Imperator: Rome saves in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Imperator. Mods subscribe into Steam workshop alongside.
Last updated
Imperator follows the Paradox pattern: Documents, Paradox Interactive, one game folder with saves and settings. Mods arrive from the workshop with load files beside saves.
Settings and campaigns share the parent, so one copy migrates everything. Version mismatches after patches can strand old saves, so finish campaigns before updating.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Imperator campaigns?
Copy Documents\Paradox Interactive\Imperator whole. Campaigns, settings, and mod loadouts travel together.
Game won't launch after monitor change. Fix?
Delete settings.txt and the game rebuilds defaults. Corrupt display settings cause most launch failures on new monitors.
Where are Imperator mods?
Mods land in steamapps/workshop/content/859580. Load order lives in dlc_load.json and mods.json inside the Imperator folder.
