Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition News

It may not be the most played historical Total War game anymore, but Total War: Rome II still wants to be your friend. It still pulls in a respectable 5,000 players on average a day, which is about a third of what Three Kingdoms manages at the moment. We imagine that Rome 2 mods help with that, as does the decent DLC library.

This is a comprehensive list of every faction, unit, and campaign pack ever sold for Rome II in order of release. Our goal here is to summarise the key points, along with details on what makes it stand-out as an expansion along with our general impression as to whether or not it's worth picking up. The golden rule here is that a decent sale can forgive most things, and Rome 2 old enough to benefit from high discount events now, but we still hope you find it useful.

Also remember; Total War DLC's have become fairly factional/thematic, so your mileage can and will vary depending on what's on offer. So if you don't care about the Greek states, for example, then you may not want to buy this back no matter how glowing our recommendation is.

Total War: Rome 2's female general controversy is fake

Ah, Total War: Rome II. Since launch it has struggled to forge its own path and find a way out of the shadow of its critically acclaimed namesake. Granted, following up on the seminal strategy game of the early 2000s is no easy task, and so it's understandable that Rome II does not totally succeed in accomplishing such a lofty goal. Lacking either the epic civil war of the original Rome, the climactic endgame of Shogun II, or the looming narrative weight of Attila, the Grand Campaign of Rome II has always been a little flat around the edges.

Luckily, the Total War mod scene is here to help. Boasting some of the most exciting player-created content of the series, the mods listed here help push Rome II from a good, but lacklustre sequel to a genuinely great strategy title worthy of its revered lineage.
