Return to the Roman empire - the world's first superpower and the ancient world's most incredible war machine as it rampages across the Mediterranean, conquering and absorbing territories to form the most formidable nation that ever existed in its time. In the largest Total War game ever created, command armies on a scale never before seen, and lead your men to a bloody game of invasion and defence, either as Rome - or against it.

With spectacularly detailed visuals and a deep focus on the emotion behind war, Rome II takes players to an overhauled, magnanimous map torn between over a hundred factions, all vying for supremacy. The victor however - can only be one.
