Steam now features the
Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack for
Total War: ROME II, and while this
will carry a full US$7.99 price tag, it is being offered for free to owners of
the game between now and October 29th. "We’ve had more gamers playing ROME II,
and for longer, in its first month than any other Total War to date. We are
going to continue to work on gameplay feature balancing with our community who
have been hugely helpful in feeding back on the game," says Mike Simpson of
Creative Assembly. "Offering this DLC for free for the first week it’s on sale
is a celebration and a small thank you to them for helping us make this the
biggest TW yet." Here's
a
trailer, and here's word on the contents of the pack:
The Nomadic
Tribes favor cavalry, exclusively in some cases, providing for swift hit and run
and massed shattering charge tactics on the battlefield. The three playable
factions come with new buildings and building chains, technology tree, campaign
objectives and new units both unique and for general mercenary
use.
