Encompassing one of the best-known periods in world history, Total War: Rome II will combines turn-based campaigns with large, cinematic real-time battles.
Become the world's first superpower and command the most incredible and vast war machine of the Ancient world. Dominate the enemies of your glorious empire by military, economic and political means. Your rise will bring admiration from your followers but will also attract greed and jealousy, even from your closest allies. Will betrayal strike you down, or will you be the first to turn on old friends? How much are you ready to sacrifice for your vision of Rome? Will you fight to save the Republic, or plot to rule alone as Dictator – as Emperor?

Toss Rome 2's 40 different land and naval units (40!) into the mix, and you've got one seriously massive battle that will challenge even the most hardened RTS generals. Thankfully, there's a big new feature in Rome 2 that will help players keep track of it all. Get the lowdown on Carthage and Total War's new tactical map in the latest Rome 2 dev diary. Read More »
What's that? The last 29063 x 3872 panoramic Total War: Rome 2 screenshot we provided just didn't do it for you? Well, fine -- have two more eye-wateringly detailed screenshots, this time heralding the announcement of Carthage as a playable faction. Read More »
