Total War Rome 2 Massalia #78 Schlacht von Luetia 246 vChr
1Total War: Rome II[5] is a strategy game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It was released on 3 September 2013 for Microsoft Windows[6] and is the eighth standalone game in the Total War series of video games. Rome II is a successor to the 2004 game Rome: Total War. The game suffered from significant technical problems upon release (some of which were fixed by the Emperor Edition), but proved a commercial success, surpassing all other games in the Total War series in both sales and number of concurrent players on its release day.
Total War: Rome II is set in the classical antiquity period, and focuses on a more inclusive and in depth portrayal of each culture, which in the original game had been portrayed anachronistically. The grand campaign begins in 272 BC, and lasts for 300 years. However, the player also has the option to play further, as there are no timed victory conditions in Rome II.
The Warscape engine powers the visuals of the game and new unit cameras allows players to focus on individual soldiers on the battlefield, which in itself may contain thousands of combatants at a time. The Creative Assembly has stated that they wish to bring out the more human side of war this way, with soldiers reacting with horror as their comrades get killed around them and officers inspiring their men with heroic speeches before siege towers hit the walls of the enemy city. This is realized using facial animations for individual units, adding a feel of horror and realism to the battles.
Armies and navies have changeable stances on the campaign map. Stances determine factors on the campaign map, such as total movement points per turn or the ability to deploy traps for an ambush. For example, the "Forced March" stance can enable an army to march further, but will also tire out its men and reduce their fighting ability and leave them vulnerable to ambush; the "Defensive Stance" enables the player to place fortifications such as stakes or redoubts, and the "Ambush Stance" enables the placing of traps such as fireballs and sulfur pits. Armies and fleets in Rome II can be made up of a maximum of 20 units and must have a general or admiral to lead them. An individual faction's power, or "imperium", determines the number of armies it can raise. A faction can gain more imperium by conquering more regions and acquiring more gold. Players also have the ability to name units in an army and change their emblems.
When an army is formed, the player must pick a general from a list of available faction members to lead the new army. When it recruits new units, the army enters muster mode and cannot move until the new units have been added to the army. Both armies and generals can gain skills and traits as they level up after battles. Each skill can be upgraded up to three times to enhance an army or general's performance. Furthermore, if an army loses its general, a new one will be appointed by the player prior to the battle in which the general was lost. These rules also apply to fleets and admirals of the faction's navy.
