Don't see a price change for Rome II on Steam neither (Belgium).
On the matter of price reductions, well yes, it happens a lot that Steam gives a temporary discount on games. And you have very frequent sales periods too. Try to remember for the future that, unless you want a certain game really really hard and can't wait to have it, it's usually better to wait a bit until the price on your favourite game drops. If you can be patient, it's possible to acquire all your games dirt cheap.
If you're a cheapskate like me, then you wait for a year or so and buy during a sales period. I'm also the type of guy who dislikes changing the tires of his car, because new tires are worth more than the car itself.
