Video game developer The Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA announce that the Caesar in Gaul expansion for Total War: Rome II is now available via Steam for all fans who are interested in a new narrative-driven campaign.

Those who buy it will be able to control the legendary armies of the Roman general as he faces the toughest trial of his career in the unruly province where he needs to deal with a variety of tribes and their powerful leaders.

The two companies state, "Players can choose from four playable factions in this conflict: the Gallic Arverni, the Germanic Suebi, the Belgic Nervii and Rome, in a campaign inspired by Caesar’s Commentarii de bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic war)."

The map used by Caesar in Gaul for Total War: Rome II is smaller and there are more turns for each year, which means that weather and logistics play a bigger role in the overall conflict.
