The developers of Creative Assembly have announced a new culture pack for Total War: Rome 2. Called Desert Kingdoms, it introduces four new playable factions – the kingdoms of Kush, Saba and Nabatea fall under the African/Arabian subculture, while the Masaesyli are of Numidian origin.
These factions are native to the deserts of Africa and Arabia. Surviving these harsh environmental conditions has forged them into hardy warriors who use the shifting desert sands to their advantage in battle.
While culturally similar, each faction boasts unique new unit rosters which offer different military strengths. Each faction also has new building chains and technology trees, playing to their strengths and further differentiating their playstyles.
You can find out more on the pack’s Steam page or by watching the video above.
