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 if it's of any interest.

   Looks quite good
   
   Has everything I want in a CE
   
   - Actually limited with numbering
   - Playing Cards
   - Steelbook
   - And of course a miniature replica catapult
   
   
   
   It is PC though but I think I might still go for it

   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

    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

    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.

    I do struggle to limit what I get
    
    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)

    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

17. SwiftDeath:
    UK Pre-order page doesn't discuss CE at all
    
    http://uk.download-store.sega.com/es...me-2-3418.html
    
    And on the US checkout page it say
