A
Steam Community Announcement has word that the
Black Seas Colony DLC
is now available for
Total War: ROME II, offering the 12th free update for the historical
strategy sequel. For those looking for a little more culture, this is
accompanied by the paid
Black Sea Colonies Culture Pack, and both releases are complemented by a new
patch. Here's word:
Marking the 12th piece of additional free content
released for Total War™: ROME II since launch, players will find their game
updated via Steam today with the new, free playable faction of Massilia. A
wealthy trading-state of Greek colonists situated on the north-western coast of
the Mediterranean, Massilia has embraced Gallic culture and military techniques
to form a unique and fascinating independent faction.
Also available for purchase today, the Black Sea Colonies Culture Pack brings
three further hybrid factions to ROME II’s Grand Campaign, custom battles and
multiplayer. Cimmeria, Colchis and Pergamom all claim Greek heritage but their
settlement away from their homelands has wrought subtle changes to their
culture. Each faction enjoys unique traits, strengths and hybrid unit rosters
that reflect their culturally diverse civic and military aspects.
Additionally, the latest patch will drop at the same time, consisting of further
balancing changes to unit strengths based on community feedback.
