Sega shows off its awesome Total War: Rome II campaign map for Civ fans

Sometimes a good map will sell a strategy game. That’s why the folks at Sega and its developer Creative Assembly are touting the campaign map for Total War: Rome II. This map looks so good it might appeal to fans of the turn-based strategy game Civilization.

The companies released an interactive version of the campaign map as a promotion for the upcoming real-time strategy PC game that ships on Sept. 3. The action in this real-time game, where the combat between factions takes place with both sides moving simultaneously, can zoom in all the way into individual soldiers and zoom out to a bird’s eye view. Creative Assembly already has a huge potential audience for this game, as it has 700,000 players a month already playing its older games in the Total War series.
