Empire Divided picks an engaging, strife-filled period of Roman history and gives the game new administrative layers and narrative trimmings, with a degree of success. But, ultimately, all roads lead back to the Rome 2 of 2013.
Total War: ROME II - Empire Divided
Creative Assembly · Nov 30, 2017
About
The year is 270 AD. A string of inept emperors and usurpers vying for power has led the Roman Empire into near-total economic collapse. This is its gravest crisis yet. Eager to capitalise on Rome’s instability, barbarian tribes gather like a storm on the borders, to plunder the riches of civilisation. To the east, the Sassanids set out on a grand conquest that culminates with an assault against Roman lands. They are held back only by a staunch defence led by Palmyra. Queen Zenobia holds fast – but for how long?

- Empire Divided is a fun change of pace from the standard Rome II fare. It has decent replay value and a ton of flavor for history buffs or just people interested in history that encourages the player to do some research to understand this interesting historical period. I learned a good deal about this period from both the game and the supplemental research it inspired me to engage in.
- 7.0Total War Rome II Empire Divided est bon DLC qui vient apporter un peu de nouveauté à un jeu qui commence à être décrépi par le temps. Se focalisant sur l'une des périodes les plus intéressantes de l'Empire Romain (le règne d'Aurélien), il a suffisamment de nouveautés pour repartir sur plusieurs dizaines d'heures de plaisir.
- Empire Divided et la refonte du système politique qui l'accompagne apportent un réel vent de fraicheur sur Total War Rome 2 qui devient encore un peu plus riche et profond qu'il ne l'était déjà. Le contexte historique choisi est déjà plutôt intéressant et donne lieu à quelques nouveautés bien sympathiques, mais c'est surtout le remaniement de la politique qui séduit.
