The Total War™: ROME II Collector’s Edition will be produced in a single, extremely limited run; only 22,000 individually numbered copies will be manufactured.

The CE contains a wealth of bespoke, Roman-themed games and items, bound in a leather-effect presentation box, complete with gold logo and magnetic closure; including:

Numbered copy of Total War™: ROME II
The most ambitious and expansive game in the Total War™ series to date, ROME II brings the statecraft, politics, intrigue, diplomacy and epic battles of the ancient world to life in thrilling detail. This version comes in a debossed Steelbook™ case, laser-etched with your unique collector’s number in Roman numerals.

Tabula set
The Roman forerunner to Backgammon, this Tabula set comprises 30 bone-effect game-pieces supplied in their own burlap drawstring bag, while the board is built into the base of the Collector’s Edition box.

Tesserae Dice
Three replica bone-effect dice for use in a variety of games. The design is based on original Roman Tesserae, found at the archaeological site of Herculaneum.

Total War Cards™: PUNIC WARS
Designed from the ground up to echo elements from ROME II, Total War Cards is a game of skill and luck for two players. Involving combat, territorial control, resource management and technological development, PUNIC WARS consists of 58 high-quality playing cards and a game-board printed with the PUNIC WARS tech-tree.

Canvas Campaign Map
A reminder of the worlds you must conquer, this ribbon-tied canvas map depicts each of the 57 provinces of the ROME II campaign.

Roman Onager
A complete, fully-functional Onager, or Roman siege catapult. This easy-to-assemble kit is constructed from weathered wood and steel, measures 26cm x 12cm x 12cm, and is capable of unleashing mall projectiles at a variety of inanimate objects which may have affronted the glory of your empire.

Can I justify spending that amount of money on a game... It's very expensive CA.

[Toho]

sweet jesus it actually does release in september.... YES!

[eXistenZ]

what the hell is ging on with all those miniature stuff....ACIV has it, Watch dogs too, now Rome...

And the bummer is really that if you choose the edition below, you miss out on way more stuff. Dont want the figurine?well you can forget the soundtrack, additional mission/faction and the map....

Therefore I proposes a buffet option. Let people make their own edition, and charge them an additional fee for doing it. I think people would prefer that than having a miniature covered in dust 6 months later....

Holy crap I want that. Wish it didn't cost so much.

lol i remember making a catapult that looked just like that in 6th grade for my roman empire project, its such a simple design i wish they had something else like a resin figure of any kind of soldier/cavalry, most likely a legionnaire. but who am i to complain i never buy collector's edition anyways haha

[Omnipotent-Q]

Costly, but I only went and ordered it anyway.

This is where Game UK goes out of business in the Summer and I'm a hundred bucks down!

I'm not sure about this myself. In my opinion, it's severely overpriced and despite the goodies involved, I just don't know if the cost is really worth the products received. I remember paying 149.99 for Skyrim's CE, and I knew full well it was too expensive - and now I'm being asked to pay another twenty dollars beyond that, in this case. You know, it's not like I worry Rome 2 will be bad, but I've certainly had my share of frustrations with Collectors Editions, most recently with Mass Effect 3, in which my CE came with a dented/scratched Tin and the actual products provided (like the art book) were much smaller and less substantial than anticipated. I suppose I'm just a lot more weary now of this sort of thing than I was in the past, and this price tag produces enough "sticker shock" to really give me pause. Guess we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

in a word "crap"
