Total War: Rome II
The Creative Assembly has tried to ensure the uniqueness of different cultures and fighting forces. Lead unit designer Jack Lusted stated that instead of the "rebel nation" of the original "Rome: Total War" representing minor states, there are a large number of smaller, individual nations and city-states represented by their own faction. Each ethnic group has a unique play-style. A tribe of British barbarians looks and feels different from a disciplined Roman legion. Different agents and technologies are implemented for different factions. There are over 500 different land units in the game, including mercenaries. Over 30 different city variants avoid siege battles feeling and playing out the same every time.
