Alongside a number of balance tweaks, today's update adds Artemis - Goddess of the Hunt and personal Hades fave.

Really, though, it's today's free update that contains most of the goodies.

Blood effects can be accessed in their own settings menu, where you can fiddle about with precisely how much gore you want in your game. It's a fairly light DLC pack - but then, at £2.49 on the Epic Games Store, the price isn't too much to ask for an extra bit of sauce on top of your tactical maelstroms.

Whether it be The Old World or Late Antiquity, it's become a slightly disturbing trend for Total War games to add a blood-soaked expansion pack after release.
