Total War: Rome II - Rise of The Republic Campaign Pack DLC DLC - (PC) Steam EUROPE Digital Key
The year is 399 BC, and Rome is poised for greatness. However, its very
existence balances on a knife-edge.
The Gallic Senones tribe, led by chieftain Brennus, are newly settled in eastern
Italy. Ambitious and fierce, they are but a javelin-throw from the nascent
republic.
The tyrannical Dionysius rules Syracuse with an iron fist. He leads the war
against Carthage, but his eyes range across the Mediterranean as he considers
future conquests.
Under the guiding hand of the great philosopher-statesman Archytas, Taras in
southern Italy is reaching the zenith of its glory and power. Rome’s meteoric
rise is cause for concern, to be sure – perhaps an intervention is merited?
Meanwhile, Marcus Furius Camillus seeks the title and powers of Dictator. His
vision for Rome is grand indeed, but can it survive the designs of the young
republic’s neighbours?
A crossroads in history: a time of threat – and of opportunity.
A time for the republic to rise.

Region specific dilemma systems – depending on the regions you control dilemmas
related to Carthage or Massalia might spawn.
Chapter objectives are also faction specific and are a way to unlock agents.
The factions of Rise of the Republic are uniquely replayable due to the new
Government Actions options, which replaces the Change Government system from
prior ROME II campaigns. These options provide unique new bonuses, albeit at a
cost. Some notable examples are:
* Rome may appoint consuls or dictators in times of need
* The Etruscans of Tarchuna can initiate the summit of Fanum Voltumnae, where
decisions are made
* The Samnites can rely on the ancient Ver Sacrum rite, to receive an instant
army
* The Insubres and Senones rely on druidic councils for divination and public
support
* Taras has access to court philosophers who greatly improve their research
Along with these, different factions have access to specific dilemma chains such
as:
* Rome often is forced deal with domestic trouble that result in plebeians or
patricians being happy or enraged.
* Greek factions can influence the struggle of the Greek poleis back in Hellas.
