Total War: Rome II is a strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It was released on 3 September 2013, for Microsoft Windows[4] as the eighth standalone game in the Total War series of video games and the successor to the 2004 game Rome: Total War.
Rome II received generally positive reviews from critics on release, but was criticized for its significant technical problems. However, it proved a commercial success, surpassing all other games in the Total War series in both sales and number of concurrent players on its release day. In September 2014, an Emperor Edition was released, which added macOS support and addressed many of the technical problems in the game, as well as overhauled AI battles and upgraded certain visual elements. It was offered as a standalone edition and a free upgrade to all current players.

Alcohol Reference, Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence
This is a real-time strategy game in which players command one of nine factions to conquer the ancient world. Players can manage their faction's economic and political infrastructure and expand territories through military conquests. From distant or zoomed-in views, players arrange military units (e.g., infantry, cavalry) and naval fleets around battlefields; conflicts are highlighted by battle cries, sword-clanging sounds, and explosions. Cutscenes depict more intense instances of violence: characters impaled by swords/spears; a prisoner executed from a distant perspective. The dialogue sometimes contains references to suggestive material (e.g., “They…fornicate with sheep when they get the chance,” “Nice dress. It'll look better on my bedroom floor,” and “Is that a bread roll in your toga or are you just pleased to see me?”). Alcohol is also referenced in the text/dialogue (e.g., “I wish I had some wine with us” and “Over there are Gauls, mead-drunk, blood-drunk”). The word “sh*t” can
