About the Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack
The Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack is a new playable campaign for ROME II that rivals the original ROME II Grand Campaign in both scope and scale. This campaign is part of Total War™: ROME II – Emperor Edition and is available as a free automatic update for existing owners of Total War™: ROME II.
The Imperator Augustus campaign pack takes place in 42 BC during the chaotic aftermath of Caesar's brutal assassination. The Republic remains intact, but its soul is divided as three great men, members of the Second Triumvirate, hold the future of Rome in their hands.
- Octavian , Caesar's adopted son and heir to his legacy.
- Marc Antony , Caesar's loyal friend and most trusted lieutenant.
- Lepidus , Pontifex Maximus of Rome and the man who secured Caesar's dictatorship.
With the territories of the Republic divided among them and the military might of Rome at their command, each member of the Second Triumvirate is in a position to vie for leadership and rule Rome as its first – and only – emperor.
However, external forces are at work, seeking to exploit the instability of Rome and expand their own territories. Will you fight as the defender of Rome and defeat the other members of the triumvirate? Or lead another faction on a conquest and expansion campaign, taking advantage of the chaos as the Roman civil war rages?
Playable Factions
Players can embark on the new campaign as one of the following playable factions:
- Marc Antony
- Lepidus
- Octavian
- Pompey
- Iceni
- Markomani
- Dacia
- Egypt
- Parthia
- Armenia (now also playable in the Grand Campaign of ROME II).
