Ever been playing Rome II: Total War and thought that there just weren't enough animal deaths? Sure, humans are falling to bits all over the place, but what about our furry or slithery friends? Why can't I put some scorpions in a pot and just throw it right in the enemy's big, stupid face? Well, Creative Assembly are releasing just the thing for you.

The new Beasts of War Pack will be available as DLC and will allow you a lot more options in the way of animal warfare. You will now be able to throw jars of snakes into a city, just because you hate snakes, or make some big, stupid elephant get speared repeatedly. Lovely.

The Beasts of War pack is available now over on Steam.
