v 1.10.0.0
-Beasts of War Update-
* Three additional Elite Units have now been added to the Beasts of War DLC, existing owners will be upgraded:
- Wolf Warriors - In the Germanic world, the cult of Wodenaz was so large that people of the age often had wolf-related names, such as Vulfolaic ("Wolf-dancer"), Wolfhetan ("Wolf-hide"), and Wolfdregil ("Wolf-runner"). Wolfgang, or "Wolf-gait", has remained a popular German name to this day. The Wolf Warriors are available to the Suebi and as Mercinaries for holders of any province in Germania, drape themselves in wolf-hides and fight with the spirit of Wodenaz.
- Sobek Cultists - Defender of the Nile and protector of Pharaoh's power, Sobek was the crocodile-headed god of ancient Egypt from the Old Kingdom period through to the Ptolemaic dynasty and beyond. As such, crocodiles were venerated for their violent, primal qualities, and were even bred on temple sites as a living personifications of the god, and mummified when they died. With titles such as "One who buries the bodies of the crocodile-gods of the Land of the Lake" and "prophet of the crocodile-gods", the priests of the cult of Sobek served him completely in the main temple at Shedet in defence of the Pharaoh and his subjects. Clad in the hides of the sacred crocodile, the Sobek Cultists are available to recruit for Egypt.
- Nubian Leopard Warriors - Being Egypt’s neighbour, Nubia also became, at times, its greatest enemy, and the population were often enslaved and used as soldiers. In 750BC Nubians even managed to conquer Egypt, and ruled for one hundred years, such was the deep rivalry that existed between the two. Consisting mainly of mercenaries from its various regions, the armies of Nubia were famed for their aggression and fearlessness on the battlefield. The Leopard Warriors are no exception: clad in the skins of swift and deadly leopards, they are a force to be reckoned with. Available to as mercenaries when holding Egypt in the Grand Campaign.
- Molossian Dogs and Celtic Warhounds campaign mercenaries have been added.
- Berserker units will now wear bear skins instead of wolf pellets (for all users not just BoW owners).
* Balancing changes including strength and durability to:
- Molossian Dogs.
- Celtic Warhounds.
- Mercenary Syrian Armoured Elephants.
- African Elephants.
- Camel Cataphracts.
- Snake Pot Ballista.
- Scorpion Pot Ballista.
- Beehive Onager.
-Performance improvements-
* General performance improvements:
- Additional Support for AMD Crossfire multi-GPU configs.
- Further improvements to GPU performance and reduction in CPU-bottlenecks for all configs.
- Improved core Battle performance scenarios.
- Resolved CPU core-affinity threading issue.
- Implemented borderless window when running at desktop resolution in Windowed mode.
- There is no longer an upper limit on the graphics settings that a user can select in the frontend. Previously if the game determined that a user’s machine was low-end then it would not allow them to select high graphics settings. This limitation is now gone. Note that selecting high graphics settings on low-end machines will negatively affect performance.
- Improved consistency of reflections on shiny textures.
* ‘Unlimited Video Memory’ option improvements:
- Unlimited Video Memory is now selectable for all integrated GPUs running on 64-bit operating systems from Windows Vista onward. Integrated GPUs use system memory as video memory at all times, as they have no dedicated video memory of their own. This code change now allows our integrated GPU customers to use all of their system memory as video memory. When Unlimited Video Memory is enabled, discrete GPUs use system memory as an extension of their dedicated GPU video memory, when their dedicated video memory is not enough to run at their chosen graphics quality settings. Please be advised that in both cases, using system memory as GPU video memory can impact performance as it is generally not as fast as dedicated GPU video memory. Also, if system memory runs low (or out), the user’s hard drive will be paged, resulting in reduced framerates.
- For users running on an integrated GPU in 64-bit Windows (Vista onwards), with Unlimited Video Memory available but not selected, we have increased the amount of video memory that the game sees from 800MB to 1024MB.
- Fixed an issue causing Unlimited Video Memory to be unavailable for users with certain discrete video cards.
- Fixed an issue that was causing Unlimited Video Memory to become disabled on some multi-GPU configurations.
* Battle performance improvements:
- Eliminated battle pathfinding performance spike which caused battles to stutter.
- Addressed a crash in siege battles which occurred on some maps after breaching walls with artillery.
- Addressed a crash in Egyptian Large City battle caused by the map data.
- Addressed a crash caused by squads within the same unit attempting to use different formations.
- Fixed a UI lock-up when opening the steam overlay during the introduction sequence at the start of an ambush battle (while defending).
-Gameplay Improvements-
* Battle AI improvements:
- Fixed an issue which could cause the attacking siege AI to stall when attempting to breach the walls with artillery.
- Improved coordination of AI defenders in city, port and town battles when they are outside the settlement. This improves the behaviour of disembarked naval units and reinforcement armies.
- Addressed an issue which caused disembarked naval AI defenders in siege battles to become inactive.
- Improved the battle AI's ability to predict the outcome of combat actions, allowing it to better commit its troops in combat.
- Battle AI in field battles is now encouraged to outflank earlier when necessary.
* General battle improvements:
- Improved ladder docking in Rome city map.
- Addressed collision gaps in fort walls caused by auxiliary buildings, which sometimes allowed units to pass through walls.
- Prevented siege ladders/towers being pushed into the wall of a settlement on the battlefield.
- Settlement gates no longer close on friendly units during battles.

- Slave army leaders will no longer always look Hellenic in Campaign mode.
- Unit cards no longer appear outside of the merge window UI while merging units in campaign modes.
- Settlement labels in Campaign modes now consistently display the diplomatic relationship status that is currently held with the owning faction. Red = War, Blue = Allied With, Grey = neutral.
- Improvements made to the accuracy of the unit tooltip threat indicator in the battle UI.
- Needs more Hamilcar.
- Cinematic Mode shortcut key now works consistently in different languages.
* Usability Improvements:
- Addressed a number of minor audio issues.

Греческие государства объединяют общие цели, философия и дипломатические намерения. Тем не менее, им присуще неудержимое стремление к независимости и серьезные различия в подходе к гражданским и военным трудностям, из-за чего они часто конфликтуют – как с внешним миром, так и друг с другом.

Seleucid Empire Faction Pack
Although eventually embracing many eastern customs, the Seleucids are renowned for their city building and civil engineering, driving Greek colonisation and Hellenization. Furnished with expert cavalry, including cataphracts, horse skirmishers and war elephants, Seleucid armies also sport a solid core of excellent spear and pike infantry provided by a growing number of Greek-speaking colonists.
As the campaign begins, such measures are a necessity when faced with the continuing threat from their Ptolemaic Egyptian neighbours and upheaval among the Seleucid's satrapies. Ever the opportunists however, the Seleucid kings may yet turn the tables, bringing much of Alexander’s former western empire under their sway.
Founded by Seleucus Nicator, or Seleucus the Victor, at its height the vast Seleucid Empire stretched from western Anatolia as far east as the Indus River. During the turmoil of the Wars of the Successors, the Seleucids were able to claim and expand Alexander the Great’s eastern empire, as well as parts of Asia Minor.
Seleucus sealed his overall victory at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC. Fielding 500 war elephants, gained through negotiating peace on his eastern border with the Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, his forces proved decisive. The territory under his control contained a diverse range of eastern subcultures, which rapidly became Hellenized by the ruling Macedonian elite and a flood of Greek settlers.
Despite a sometimes precarious position at home, the Seleucids now plan to expand. But where? Into Ptolemaic Egypt? Or beyond, to Alexander’s former western empire in Greece and Macedon? Influenced by their cultural assimilation of eastern culture, The Seleucids have little tolerance for the concept and practice of slavery. As a heavily multicultural society, they also suffer less from public order issues arising from foreign cultures entering their territories. In battle, the Seleucids have access to a wide-ranging roster; as such, they can field capable, balanced and incredibly diverse armies and navies.

Baktria Faction
Baktria was a gateway to trade between east and west, to India, and to the far-off lands of China. It lay in what is modern-day Afghanistan, and Kandahar itself was founded by Alexander the Great.
As a protectorate of the Seleucid Empire, Baktria was famed as a province of a thousand cities. It was wealthy thanks to those trade routes and the rich agricultural lands of its fertile valleys and plains. The land was a home to Greek colonists, Persians and many more peoples, and was a part of Alexander’s vast empire. Roxana, Alexander’s wife and the mother of his nominal heir who was born after his death, was a Baktrian princess.
In the confusion of wars that followed Alexander’s death, Seleucus I Nicator established his control over the eastern parts of Alexander’s empire, including Baktria. The region was heavily colonised by Greek settlers, more so than any other part of the east, and was largely Hellenised as a result, with Greek culture and influence paramount in all things. As such, Baktria’s armed forces brought a rich and varied blend of warriors to the field, with hoplites, peltasts, fierce swordsmen and – unusually for a Hellenic nation – horse archers
With the Seleucid Empire locked in a series of wars against the other Successor states, Baktria was a satrapy with a degree of independence. During the rule of Diodotus, and sometime between the Second and Third Syrian Wars of the 3rd century BC, it became an entirely independent Hellenistic kingdom. Under their new kings, the Baktrians could be a vigorous military power, benefiting hugely from any breakdown in Seleucid authority and inattention from Parthia. Immense wealth, and tough warriors, could take their armies all the way to the shores of the Mediterranean…
As veterans of the Successor Wars, Hellenic states hold few surprises in battle for the warriors of Baktria. As a result, the Baktrian soldiery faces Hellenic armies with great confidence and courage. Well-situated for trade, they enjoy enhanced commercial and industrial income, and with their popular Hellenic outlook, they find it easier to spread cultural influence with others. However, the edge of the Great Steppe is a troublesome place for a Hellenic culture to settle; Baktria finds it difficult to curry favour with the aggressive nomad tribes.

Caesar in Gaul
«Цезарь в Галлии» – это самостоятельная кампания для Total War: ROME II, посвященная завоевательной войне Юлия Цезаря против галльских племен. В основе кампании лежит сочинение Цезаря «Записки о Галльской войне» (Commentarii de bello Gallico). Игроки могут выбрать между четырьмя фракциями, участвующими в данном конфликте: арвернами (галлы), свебами (германцы), нервиями (белги) и Римом.
Кампания «Цезарь в Галлии» охватывает меньший промежуток времени (58 – 51 гг. до н. э.) и меньшую часть территории, чем сама ROME II, но зато в ней более подробно представлены Галлия и южное побережье Британии.
По сравнению с картой Галлии в ROME II, в кампании «Цезарь в Галлии» больше регионов и провинций, больше фракций (игровых и неигровых), в ней также присутствует ряд известных генералов и исторических государственных деятелей, которых игрок будет нанимать или с которыми он будет сражаться в зависимости от выбранной фракции.
Эта война принесла Цезарю огромную прибыль и славу, сделав его невероятно популярным среди римского народа. И одновременно настроив против него сенат, который наблюдал за усилением его военной и политической мощи, впоследствии позволившей ему стать Диктатор.

А когда их воля будет сломлена и они побегут с поля битвы, затравите их двумя новыми породами свирепых боевых псов.

Hannibal at the Gates
В кампании «Ганнибал у ворот» игроки окажутся в Западном Средиземноморье перед началом Второй Пунической войны. Эта кампания фокусируется на периоде, который привел к всепоглощающей войне между двумя сверхдержавами древнего мира — Римом и Карфагеном.
В противостоянии, ставшем одним из самых знаменитых конфликтов в истории, сошлись тактические гении двух великих генералов, двух заклятых врагов — Сципиона и Ганнибала. Сможете ли вы повторить их военные успехи или превзойдете их? Как вы будете менять историю?

We’ve also rounded out the unit-roster of Epirus with some tasty extras. They can now recruit Thessalian Cavalry, Royal Peltasts and Illyrian Coastal Levies to bolster their forces. Plus, you’ll find Epirus gets a brand-new Mercenary Indian War Elephant unit to hire.
