Having announced the long-awaited sequel Total War: Rome II yesterday, publisher Sega today shared the first trailer for The Creative Assembly's Roman strategy-o-rama. The live-action affair shows the sort of back-stabbing and throat-slitting political manoeuvres we should expect when we return to the Imperium Romanum on PC in 2013.
