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. ;)

Hello Athanasius, how are you?

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.

Few sources:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/imperiums
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/imperiums

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?

Thank you and have a nice weekend! :)

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!

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!
