I bet that's it!Īll yours for the bargain basement price of £109. unless they've accidentally typed 'cm' when they meant 'm'. 'measures 26cm x 12cm x 12cm, and is capable of unleashing small projectiles at a variety of inanimate objects which may have affronted the glory of your empire.'

You'll also get a tabula board and pieces, some dice for that, a card game called Total War Cards: PUNIC WARS (I imagine you're supposed to shout the latter half), a canvas map (and okay, here I stop feeling cynical and just applaud Sega), and a 'fully functional Onager, or Roman siege catapult'. 'comes in a debossed Steelbook™ case, laser-etched with your unique collector’s number in Roman numerals'īecause if there's anything we know about PC gaming, it's that it's the box that matters the most. There's also word that there's to be a Collector's Edition, but only 22,000 of them will be made. It seems impossible to believe they'll be charging that much on release? Surely not? The real madness here is this digital download pre-order costs a whopping £45. And if anyone's in the mood to get wound up about something, pre-orderers will get the first DLC on release day, the Greek States Culture Pack which includes three playable factions - Epirus, Athens and Sparta. Obviously there are pre-orders, but as an RPS reader you know better than to pre-order anything, because that's a stupid thing to do.

Focused on the matter at hand, not allowing myself to wander off and start writing about bees or nostrils, like some airheaded buffoon.
