This Weekend Total War Comes to Steam

This weekend the Total War series invades Steam! This includes Daily Deals as well as the entire Total War pack on sale until October 1st. But wait, there’s more!


In partnership with Valve’s own Team Fortress 2 and our own Spiral Knights, we are also supplying you with hats and accessories all weekend, to celebrate the games of the Total War franchise!


Total War Master Collection

The entire Total War collection on Steam includes seven Total War games and all promotional items for Spiral Knights and Team Fortress 2. This includes the unique weapon for Team Fortress 2′s Soldier class, THE FREEDOM STAFF. It is in all caps like that because FREEDOM should always be all caps. The staff is solid gold and has an eagle on it, because that is what FREEDOM looks like when you bludgeon someone with it.


Steam Daily Deal
Rome: Total War Gold is on sale for 90% Off! Get the epic game voted Best Strategy Game in 2004 by IGN, GameSpy, and Gamespot. 90% off means it can be yours for next to nothing. This is the “Gold Edition” of the game, meaning it includes the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack.

Spiral Knights

Behold, the Golden Laurel accessory! Like the Caesars of yore, cross the Rubicon and into the Clockworks in style with olive branches adorning your Knightly brow. Olive branches of solid gold, that is; regular olive branches are for chumps. Equip it in your accessory slot in Spiral Knights and show those plebeians who’s boss!

Team Fortress 2

For the Heavy class, the growling animal ferocity of ferocious animal growlingness: the K-9 Mane! Nothing says heavy weapons obliteration like wearing a helmet taken from nature’s own damage dealing class, the wolf. While technically part of the Warpath campaign from Empire: Total War, we are giving away this item as part of Rome’s daily deal; it is the sort of thing a Barbarian Invasion might have, and anyway, are you going to argue with an enormous man wearing a wolf hat?



How Do I Get These Things?
To get these things you simply need to own Rome: Total War; that will give you access to both the Team Fortress 2 hat and the Spiral Knights accessory. THE FREEDOM STAFF is available only with the Master Collection.


Stay tuned – there’s more on the way each day for Total War!

Last thing: Special thanks to Steam community members [WDZ] The Ronin, BANG!, and Svdl for making this possible with their awesome collaborative work designing these Team Fortress 2 items and helping with the promotional artwork.
