Experience the pinnacle of ancient warfare with Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition, the definitive version of Creative Assembly’s legendary grand strategy title. As the most comprehensive iteration of this historical epic, the Emperor Edition integrates all free feature updates released since its original debut, offering a polished and expansive experience for both returning veterans and newcomers to the franchise.

Mastering Strategy and Large-Scale Combat

Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition delivers a deep, multi-layered gameplay experience that blends large-scale tactical battles with intricate empire management. The game requires mastery over both the macro and micro scales of war. On the campaign map, players must manage the economic foundations and political intrigues of their growing empire. In contrast, the real-time battles demand direct command of thousands of individual soldiers in encounters that have been visually improved to provide a more immersive and breathtaking depiction of ancient combat.

To enhance the strategic depth of your campaign, this edition boasts overhauled building chains and meticulously rebalanced battles, ensuring that every decision—from city infrastructure to troop deployment—carries significant weight. Furthermore, the game features a significantly improved politics system, allowing players to navigate the treacherous waters of Roman diplomacy and internal stability with much greater nuance.

The Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack

A standout feature of this edition is the inclusion of "The Imperator Augustus" campaign pack. This standalone playable campaign rivals the original Grand Campaign in both scale and intensity. Set in 42 BC, players are thrust into the chaotic power vacuum following the grisly assassination of Julius Caesar. While the Republic remains physically intact, its leadership is fractured between the members of the Second Triumvirate:

  • Octavian: Caesar’s adoptive son and the ambitious heir to his legacy.
  • Marc Antony: A key figure in the struggle for power following Caesar's death.

Key Features and Gameplay Elements

The Emperor Edition is designed to provide a definitive historical simulation through several notable features:

  • Comprehensive Content: Includes all free feature updates released since the game's initial launch.
  • Deep Diplomacy: An upgraded politics system for managing internal stability and international relations.
  • Tactical Realism: Rebalanced battles and improved visuals for high-stakes real-time combat.
  • Expanded Storytelling: Access to the intense Imperator Augustus campaign set during the era of the Second Triumvirate.
