"War, war never changes." There are those who win and those who lose. There are songs about the deeds of OUR brave heroes and scary lullabies about THEIR vile and murderous villains. Unquestionable truths better not to be questioned. Somewhere in the middle, a river of blood is continuously flowing.
They were the bad guys after all. Right?
Ave Legionaries!
From the beginning of the creation of We are Legion: Rome we knew what kind of tale we want to tell through our game. It won't be black and white. It won't be in shades of grey either.
The true colours of war are bloody dark red, muddy brown, and fiery orange. History is written by mighty fencers and woe to those who come between their blades.
When we are thinking about Gallic Wars, Gauls and Romans the vision of civilized, disciplined and educated Romans will most often appear in our minds together with an image of hairy and savage but brave image of Gauls.
We have no place in our game for similar pop culture over-simplifications.
We know that on both sides, no matter how nicely the armour of the soldiers gleamed or how well-spoken was the executioner holding the sword, the brutality fuels only more and more brutality.
To tell such a story we need to create an environment of the ongoing war. Lately, we have put a lot of effort into the level design of our Battle Scenarios. One can check out the Youtube channel where we share creation process videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvW7rM-_0SmszWmlQsQC7bA
Meanwhile, we are constantly improving our combat system, models, optimization, AI, and many other things that we will be sharing in Devlogs every three weeks. Feel free to chat with us about the game on our Discord Channel
