Rome: Total War Expansions & DLCs

Strategy 19 June 2006

The second official expansion to Rome: Total War, a game developed by Creative Assembly in 2004. This time you assume the role of one of the most prominent strategist in the course of the centuries – the titular Alexander the Great who, due to his outstanding conquests, went down in history as one of the greatest leaders. The completely new campaign plays a crucial role in this extension – you can re-enact the biggest successes achieved by the legendary Macedonian ruler. Rome: Total War – Alexander faithfully recreates battlefields of historic battles, numbers of units engaged, and tactics applied by particular armies. Between scenarios, players can enjoy high-quality footage narrated by Brian Blessed who talks about the warrior-king’s triumphs and thus enriches historical knowledge of the players.

Strategy 27 September 2005

The first official add-on to the third installment of Total War – the popular series created by Creative Assembly. As suggested by the title, Rome: Total War – Barbarian Invasion focuses on a very unfavorable time for the Roman Empire between 363 and 476. At that time, Europe had fallen under the reign of barbarian tribes, while the east had a new power player emerging in the form of Persian Empire. The said expansion offers a completely new single player campaign and ten completely new nations, such as Western and Eastern Roman Empire, Persian Empire, and numerous tribes such as Huns, Goths, Saxons, Franks, Wandals, Sarmatians, and Allemans. The game makes use of real historical data, and introduces special traits of individual units. We’ve also received a new technological tree, the ability to recruit generals, and an incredibly important religion factor.
