Adds three new playable factions: Athens, Sparta, and Epirus.Total War: ROME II – Greek States Culture Pack Highlights If you want a good Nomadic experience, go play Total War: Attila. Factions are not really that different from the ones already available in the vanilla game and unit rosters are mainly composed of cavalry, which makes field battles somewhat easy but turns sieges into an exercise in frustration.īack when Nomadic Tribes was launched, CA hadn’t learned the power of making good asymmetrical factions, so the result is a weird unbalanced reskin of some minor factions. While the new factions might sound interesting to people who like the idea of nomadic cultures, this DLC was badly executed. Cavalry focused nomad culture which is not nomadic, but actually uses the existing city/settlement system.New culture-specific roster, building chain, and tech trees.Adds three new playable factions: the Roxolani, the Massagetae, and the Royal Scythians.Total War: ROME II – Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack Highlights Creative Assembly’s official explanation is that offering the DLC allows them to keep the PEGI 16 rating, but there’s been no confirmation that said DLC *needs* to be premium.

Here is a list of all of the Rome 2 DLC released to date: So if you don’t care about the Greek states, for example, then you may not want to buy this pack no matter how glowing our recommendation is. The golden rule here is that a decent sale can forgive most things, and Rome 2 old enough to benefit from high discount events now, but we still hope you find it useful.Īlso remember Total War DLC’s have become fairly factional/thematic, so your mileage can and will vary depending on what’s on offer. Our goal here is to summarise the key points, along with details on what makes it stand-out as an expansion along with our general impression as to whether or not it’s worth picking up. This is a comprehensive list of every faction, unit, and campaign pack ever sold for Rome II in order of release. We imagine that Rome 2 mods help with that, as does the DLC library. It may not be the shiniest historical Total War game anymore, but Total War: Rome II still wants to be your friend. Even no, it still pulls in a respectable 5-6,000 players on average a day, and is only just behind the newer Three Kingdoms is at at the moment.
