Steam News announces that pre-purchases are now being accepted for the upcoming Black Sea Colonies Culture Pack expansion for Total War: ROME II, the historical strategy sequel. Here's word on the new factions this will introduce upon release: "Originally citizens of the Greek States, these pioneering peoples have settled far from home, intermingling their customs with those of far-flung societies to create unique cultures of their own. The Black Sea Colonies bring a rich new gameplay flavour to ROME II through their unique traits, battlefield units and buildings, and hybrid unit-rosters."
