You'll Never Guess Which Nation Is Definitely In Rome II!

Go on, try to guess. Creative Assembly have announced the first playable faction for the forthcoming Total War: Rome II, and we know who it is! Okay, I'll give you some hints about who you'll be able to play in Rome II. They liked long straight roads. They conquered enormous stretches of the globe.

However, head there and you'll learn a couple of facts, and perhaps more importantly, get yourself excited for next year's addition to the Total War franchise.
