The CE contains a wealth of custom, Roman-themed games and items, bound in a leather-effect presentation box, complete with gold logo and magnetic closure, including:

Numbered copy of Total War: ROME II ? The most ambitious and expansive game in the Total War? series to date, ROME II brings the statecraft, politics, intrigue, diplomacy and epic battles of the ancient world to life in thrilling detail. This version comes in a debossed Steelbook? case, laser-etched with your unique collector?s number in Roman numerals.

Tabula set ? The Roman forerunner to Backgammon, this Tabula set comprises 30 bone-effect game pieces supplied in their own burlap drawstring bag; the board itself is built into the base of the Collector?s Edition box.

Tesserae Dice ? Three replica bone-effect dice for use in a variety of games. The design is based on original Roman Tesserae, found at the archaeological site of Herculaneum.

Total War Cards: PUNIC WARS ? Designed from the ground up to echo elements from ROME II, Total War Cards is a game of skill and luck for two players. Involving combat, territorial control, resource management and technological development, PUNIC WARS consists of 58 high-quality playing cards and a game-board printed with the PUNIC WARS tech-tree.

Canvas Campaign Map ? A reminder of the world you must conquer, this ribbon-tied canvas map depicts each of the 57 provinces of the ROME II campaign.

Roman Onager ? A complete, fully-functional Onager, or Roman siege catapult. This easy-to-assemble kit is constructed from weathered wood and steel, 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.

I spotted this on Game there, it looks really nice - The numbering being in Roman numerals is a nice touch.

They also have a bigger picture here (http://img.game.co.uk/images/content/SpecialEditions/TotalWarRome2CELarge.jpg) if it's of any interest. :)

Full Game Name: Total War: Rome III


It's 2 not 3 ;)

I simply must have this!!!!!!!

My monitor appears to be broken though, every time I throw my money at it, it just falls on the floor :(

[SwiftDeath]

Looks quite good :)

Has everything I want in a CE

- Actually limited with numbering
- Playing Cards
- Steelbook
- And of course a miniature replica catapult ;)

:lmao:

It is PC though but I think I might still go for it

And so your slide into madness begins :barsong:

If I ever admit to trying to collect all PC steels, slap some sense into me

I just like the edition and will probably get it

[XMutant]

Very, very nice. So every steelbook is different? Then I must take all 22 000 copies :D

[SwiftDeath]

Very, very nice. So every steelbook is different? Then I must take all 22 000 copies :D

Nah the Rome III steels will all be same

I was referring to trying to collect all PC steelbooks for every game etc.

As there are a ton of PC steelbooks and I don't really collect PC steelbooks

[Lemur]

Very, very nice. So every steelbook is different? Then I must take all 22 000 copies :D

I would like to see a pic with 22000 copies if you manage it :D

That's how it starts, the madness.

You'll see the PC steel all lonely, then pick some friends for it. Then you see another PC steel and think why not. And soon you'll want to get all of them :lmao:

No I say no, back beasties :poke:

I do not need every PC steel I swear :nosleep:

[Lemur]

No I say no, back beasties :poke:

You're my best hope of seeing a full collection of VG steels now. I think you're the only guy who collects steels from all platforms. :drool:

[SwiftDeath]

:rotf:

I do struggle to limit what I get :rotf:

I think redmagster might be the most encompassing steel collection

I can't tell if she collects PC steels tbh

Otherwise she's farther along then me on what I collect (All PS3 & Xbox 360 & PS2, and Wii/U)

[Sylfaris]

it's rome 2 not 3 sorry :D

[SwiftDeath]

Might be worth posting the Pre-order link too

http://us.download-store.sega.com/eshop/total-war/rome-2-3418.html

From the sega store itself

Not sure if you have to go to the UK sega store to preorder from Europe

Would like to know if payment is upfront as well

[Matt16]

Available from Game here (http://www.game.co.uk/en/total-war-rome-ii-collectors-edition-222836)

No payment upfront

[SwiftDeath]

UK Pre-order page doesn't discuss CE at all

http://uk.download-store.sega.com/eshop/total-war/rome-2-3418.html

And on the US checkout page it say


The Collector's Edition can only be shipped within the USA.
If you cannot receive a shipment within the USA, please buy and download the Standard Edition.


So looks US only to me

Wow, that's actually beautiful xx

[NikeFerrari]

It's in Greek, but there are English subtitles and the quality of the video and the way it's presented is top-notch and really brings forward the beauty of this item.

P.S. How do you embed it? I can't do it the same way as i'm doing it elsewhere. :S

[Letrico]

Where is the custom numbering on the steelbook :(

EDIT: K saw it. Only for a brief 0.5 second it appeared from the reflection

[Matt16]

Rome has landed :)

For the brief moment I saw it, I was really impressed although its now gone into hiding seeing as its an Xmas present.

The one thing I noticed was the numbering on the steel which was really weird. I was expecting Roman Numerals but mine is ((I))I))I(I))I))X((I)) or something like that, can't remember the exact number of I's or brackets. I know "I" and "X" are Roman numerals but not in that order and with brackets so its a bit disappointing :(
