Hello everybody, and welcome to my
Let's Play of one of the most highly-anticipated games of
2013 -
Total War: Rome II! In this playthrough, we will be playing as
Ptolemaic Egypt - can we conquer
Africa,
Arabia and
Asia Minor, as well as reunify
Alexander's once great empire? Only one way to find out!
Total War: Rome II is a strategy game developed by
The Creative Assembly and published by Sega, released on
3 September 2013 for
Microsoft Windows. The eighth standalone game in the
Total War series of video games,
Rome II is a successor to the 2004 game
Rome: Total War.
A Diadochi kingdom like
Macedon, Ptolemaic Egypt has preserved many of its ancient traditions in addition to the
Hellenistic influence in its culture. The
Egyptians are an awe-inspiring civilization: they continue to build great monuments and temples in the image of both the
Hellenic gods and goddesses as well as their own. The upper class has taken influences from both the
Greek and
Egyptian cultures, a fact which has given birth to a unique Greco-Egyptian culture. But most of all, it is the Greek way of life that is held in high regard throughout the
Ptolemaic Kingdom and
Greek citizens enjoy privileges native Egyptians do not, a fact that has caused many a revolt and mutiny among the lower classes.
The Pharaohs trust in the use of formations of spearmen, much like
Alexander the Great did. To provide support and flanking attacks, Ptolemaic Egypt also has more exotic units to call upon; swordsmen trained in the traditional Egyptian fighting style, scythed chariots and war elephants like its rival, The
Seleucid Empire. With their vast armies and riches, the Ptolemaic
Pharaohs look forward to expanding their nation, be it in the east towards the crumbling Seleucid Empire or to the west, where the city-state of
Carthage lies.
On August 23, 2013 Total War: Rome II had achieved seven times the number of preorders of that of
Total War:
Shogun 2, making it the most preordered game in Total War history.
