“We are huge history buffs, especially towards ancient history, and this is one of the lesser known periods during the Roman Republic. It also hits near home, being a story set geographically in our country. We thought that a tactics game was a great approach, as we could feature the military units of the era, and their battle tactics, in a somewhat abstracted and orderly way, very similarly to how it is done in tabletop wargames, but with the extra depth one can imprint into a videogame. ” stated Phil Gonzalez, CEO of Meteorbyte.
“We have strived for historical accuracy wherever possible,and have leaned towards making a compelling, powerful human narrative. A few concessions had to be made for the sake of storytelling and decision-making, of course, but we’ve remained as loyal as possible. ” Gonzalez ended his speech.
