Rome II Assembly Kit Beta Hits Steam

A beta version of the Total War: ROME II Assembly Kit is available today as a free download on Steam. Allowing budding modders to edit the game within an inch of its life, it is packed with features that are likely to be expanded upon beyond the Beta phase.

The Assembly Kit contains a series of tools to help modders edit ROME II’s database and variants, and process data such as textures, models, animations and campaign-game start positions. A suite of exporters also enables users to then edit unit models and animations using third party software.

To get modders started, The Assembly Kit comes packaged with example data, such as naval vessels, soldiers, animation sets, and the complete ROME II database backend. When a mod is complete, it can be uploaded directly to the Steam Workshop via the ROME II launcher, where over 1000 user-created mods can already be found.
