''Special eight-page Roman newspaper'' on September 6th

Just found this article:

''Total War ROME II is released by SEGA on 3 September 2013. To mark the game's release, a special eight-page Roman newspaper, sponsored by SEGA, will appear in the Guardian on 6 September 2013, and later be made available to download.
The Roman newspaper is dated AD9, and takes as its lead story the spectacular Battle of Teutoberg, in which a Roman force once considered invincible was battered into submission by barbarians from what is now Germany. The barbarians, it turns out, had a secret weapon – a leader whom the Romans had trained, and who then turned their military guile against them, with devastating results.''

Thought it would be interesting for the history buffs out there. But we'll probably be caught up in our epic campaign by then. A creative way of advertising nonetheless.

LOL, there will be no outside world after the 3rd.

Anyway, I think I'll read it, sounds like an interesting way to advertise the game.

Thanks for sharing.

That I call marketing!

I must say the idea that I will be spending my time reading about Rome II when I could be actively playing it is patently absurd.

I love this! We get our fill of marketing stuff for AAA console titles but it's not very often that a "PC Only" game get publicity like this.

As PC gamers and TW fans won't it be nice to walk into a newsagents the week of Rome II's release and see it plastered all over a major broadsheet newspaper!?

Look like I'm going to buy my first Guardian paper. And I'm speaking as a Daily Mail reader.
