The Family Tree is a visual representation of the web of character relationships within your faction, and offers the functionality for you to interact with those characters and generate Intrigues, which bring new gameplay options. There are also additional patch notes for the Ancestral Update here. We welcome any and all feedback – again, find out where you can do this below.Īs you may have guessed from the latest what the teams are working on blog post, a ROME II DLC announce will also be coming very soon. The update is currently in open beta to ensure it works for all users before release, and will therefore require you to opt in with details of how to do this below. Correction: this post originally confused Feral Interactive with their fellow portpeeps Aspyr.The long-awaited Family Tree for ROME II is here! The free Ancestral Update introduces this community favourite feature along with numerous tweaks, fixes, and improvements to ROME II’s base game and DLCs.

The original Rome: Total War Collection has been removed from sale on Steam, though buying Remastered you will a free copy of it thrown in too - so it's not fully erased from history. Oh, be sure to download the Enhanced Graphics Pack for the hottest new looks. An FAQ explains, "Unfortunately, we cannot track users who own the CD version in order to offer the discount." Doesn't explain why the discount is on a timer. They are offering a 50% discount for folks who own the original, but only until 4pm Pacific on May 31st - and only if you have it on Steam. Total War: Rome Remastered is out now for Windows, Mac, and Linux on Steam at £25/€30/$30. That's nobody's fault but old daddy time's, but alas, it is the case." But as I've already said, despite the remarkably good job Feral have done here, the end result is still drab when compared against any of the Total Wars from the last few years. "I suppose if you really love Romans and you really love Total War, but you didn't get along with TW: Rome 2, this is probably the ideal game for you. "I suppose for me, however, the question remains: if you're not playing this out of nostalgia, then why are you playing it?" Nate said. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still Rome: Total War at heart.

Our Nate recently played a bit of the fancier Rome and was impressed by both the quality of the remaster and by how much of that newness you can disable if you want. The Remaster is done by Feral Interactive.
