The latestTotal War: Rome IInation getting shown off is Ptolemaic Egypt, a superpower born from Alexander the Great’s short-lived conquest of much of the known world.
Egypt, during this period, was a strange blend of traditional Egyptian customs and traditions with newer Greek ones. InTotal Warit gives this faction a balanced army made up of typical Hellenic units like deadly spearmen, with more exotic units like North African war-elephants.
