Total war rome 2 prologue update#

The battle would probably be won no matter how you played, but it teaches just a handful of important things for your second battle. The first battle, at the Siege of Capua, featured Silanus and his troops on the edge of the conflict, coming to the aid of the city from the flank of the Samnite army. Though, at times, thereвЂ™s a fair bit of obvious tutorial text, the prologue definitely felt like it was being pretty gentle, and easing me into the game. Rome 2 drops you right into the heart of a pivotal battle in the Samnite Wars. Populated by over a hundred factions of varying size, aside from the eight main playable factions, each with a unique set of units, including the rather exotic and much publicised war elephants found in some corners of the world. The full map will stretch from the Western most edges of Europe to the heart of the Middle East with Afghanistan. ItвЂ™s not just a bigger game than Rome, though, itвЂ™s CAвЂ™s biggest game to date.

So much of the series has changed and evolved in that time, that it lets them give a fresh spin on proceedings, update game mechanics, and broaden the scope significantly. It has been almost a decade since CA first visited the Roman Empire, and it certainly feels like now is the right time to go back. ThatвЂ™s admittedly quite a strange thing to say, but I digress.

First Medieval II, then Shogun II and now Rome II, whilst I salivate about the prospect of Empire II, because the Napoleonic War was by far my favourite. The Creative Assembly have made a bit of a habit out of retreading old ground in their Total War series.
