Total War: Rome 2 likes to show off big battles, and the newest trailer shows off one of the most decisive battles of the Roman era. The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in Germania in 9AD saw more than 15,000 Roman troops routed by Germanic tribes led by a former vassal of Rome.

Do you have a thirst for violence and/or historical accuracy? You're in luck! Today, The Creative Assembly debuted a new cinematic "gameplay" trailer for Total War: Rome 2, showing a fierce battle in Carthage.
The trailer takes place in 146 BC, when Scipio Aemilianus is sent to Rome to break a siege that has been going on for three years. One thing leads to another, and before you know it the battle is raging. The game is due in 2013, or MMXIII for you purists.

Sega communications manager Al Bickham laughs: "They would say, 'Yeah, yeah, that's great, but where's Rome 2? Rome was enormously popular. It probably has a lot to do with how strong it is in the popular imagination. The swords and sandals fighting, the gladiators, and everything else."
