Six more factions, including Armenia – now playable in the Grand Campaign as well – round out the list of potential player factions. Octavian controls Italy and Gaul, Marc Antony dominates Greece and has inroads into the Near East, Lepidus’s power extends across Spain and North Africa, while Pompey causes havoc throughout the Mediterranean from his power base in Sicily. It’s a time of civil war, with the Roman Republic splitting into four factions. It is, essentially, a second version of the Grand Campaign, spreading across the entirety of Rome II’s map. It covers Octavian’s rise to power after the death of his adoptive father, Julius Caesar and the period of the Second Triumvirate. Of course, the most notable extra limb that has sprung from Rome II’s torso is the new campaign: Imperator Augustus. It collects all the free DLC, including the additional factions and Twitch support, along with changes to the politics system, real-time battles and construction. The Emperor Edition has replaced the regular game, and if you already owned Rome II, the upgrade is a free one.
