Total War: Rome 2 Emperor Edition

rome-2-total-war

I have just noticed that in my Steam library, the game Total War: Rome 2 is now called Total War: Rome 2 Emperor Edition. What is the reason behind the edit to the game name? Have they added anything to the game or is it purely just a name change?

Best Answer

There is a major difference between Total War: Rome 2 and Total War: Rome 2 Emperor Edition.

There is only one version of Total War: Rome 2 on steam, and it's the emperor edition. There is no regular version on steam any more, and according to the devs the emperor edition is a majorly revamped version, with loads of new features, and an expansion as well.

The emperor edition was given for free to all existing owners of the regular edition.
