They are releasing a new expansion for this on 30 November, covering the crisis of the third century.

I'm pretty sure they're not planning on releasing anything new for Rome 2.

GET A LOAD OF THIS RETARDO!

New DLC coming!

Last week, Creative Assembly discussed the direction of its historical Total War series. This week, the developer teased something new for Total War: Rome 2. And today, the turn-based strategy expert has unveiled Empire Divided as the new DLC heading to its 2013 stalwart.

Set in 270 AD, Empire Divided visits the Roman Empire as it faces economic collapse and its "gravest crisis yet". With that, it's on you to restore the capital to its former glory (or, you know, run it into the ground) as you assume control of ten different playable factions across five cultures (each with its own cultural and faction-driven traits), negotiate new victory conditions, and handle new campaign features—not least plagues, bandits and cults.

WHAT THE FUCK

I am surprised they picked Rome 2 and not Attila, but apparently there are still "hundreds of thousands" of players still playing Rome 2, and I guess way less with Attila. I liked that you could burn all the stuff down in Attila though.

Probably wouldn't mesh well with the razing, food, climate, and horde mechanics.

Eh, it would be a separate campaign within the game. They can change pretty much anything they want. I'm kinda upset that this doesn't seem to be adding family trees like Attila has.

Fuck, this is going to outdate all my mods.

You can stick with the old version if you want.

You thought you were done with Rome 2.

You thought there was no way they would release more content for it.

You were wrong.

The Desert Kingdoms Culture Pack introduces four new playable factions to Total War: ROME II. The Kingdoms of Kush, Saba and Nabatea fall under the African/Arabian subculture, while the Masaesyli are of Numidian origin. These factions are native to the deserts of Africa and Arabia. Surviving these harsh environmental conditions has forged them into hardy warriors who use the shifting desert sands to their advantage in battle.

[Gelston]

Eh, not really excited by them.

Family trees and other updates to Rome 2 out now.
