Total War: Rome II - Emperor Edition is a strategy game in which you lead a faction through a turn-based campaign and command its armies in real-time land and sea battles. The edition includes an improved politics system, overhauled building chains, rebalanced battles and improved visuals in both campaigns and battles. It also includes the Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack, set during the aftermath of Caesar’s death.

The Imperator Augustus campaign

In 42 BC, the Roman Republic remains intact, but its future is contested by the three members of the Second Triumvirate: Octavian, Caesar’s adoptive son and heir; Marc Antony, his friend and trusted lieutenant; and Lepidus, Pontifex Maximus of Rome, who secured Caesar’s dictatorship. With the Republic’s territories divided among them and Rome’s military at their command, each can seek to lead Rome and become its first and only emperor.

External powers are also moving to exploit Rome’s instability and expand their territories. You can fight as a defender of Rome against the other Triumvirs, or lead another faction in conquest and expansion during the civil war. The campaign’s playable factions are Marc Antony, Lepidus, Octavian, Pompey, Iceni, Marcomanni, Dacia, Egypt, Parthia and Armenia. Armenia is also playable in the Grand Campaign.

Campaign and battles

The large sandbox campaign lets you plan a conquest of the known world through military, economic and political decisions. It supports two-player cooperative and competitive play, and puts conspiracies, politics, intrigue, revolts, loyalty, honour, ambition and betrayal among the forces shaping your story.

You build armies and directly control their troops in real-time combat, with tens of thousands of soldiers clashing in land and sea battles. You can play as one of three Roman families or command rival civilisations, each with a different style of play and hundreds of unique units, including siege engines, heavy cavalry, steel-plated legionaries and barbarian berserkers.

Battle views

Ancient cities and armies are rendered in detail, with camera perspectives that show soldiers on the front line. A tactical camera gives you a broader view of the battle to help inform your decisions.
