Inspiration

• Inspiration:Ryse: Son of Rome and Total War: Rome II were the two games that inspired me to create this game other things such as films like 300 and Troy and Gladiator also inspired me to do this. The reason why I wanted to create a Rome game but futuristic is because I enjoy watching those style of films where it is set in the past and shows you what is was like back then and how they struggled and fort for empires between other army’s and countries.The futuristic style that I wanted came across ideas from films such as Avatar and Star Wars where they have weapons that aren’t from this time. Also with the space ships and shuttles I wanted them to be in Rome but to match the style Rome was in.

Target AudienceThe target audience for my game I went of for the audience of roman films such as Gladiator, Troy, Spartacus. The audience will be targeted around 16+ year olds as it will contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.I carried this out by reviewing certain games around the 16+ year old market and a lot had to say that they didn’t find it that strong within he game and didn’t understand why it was high age rated, but then others said it should be 18+ rated because of the sexual matter and the gore that was in the game. I decided to keep it at 16+ because, although it has some gore in it when killing other people and strong language with sexual nature in it, there wasn’t that much to complain. I also wanted to keep it at 16+ because a lot of teenage boys love killing games and games that have violence in them meaning the sales will go up if the age is lowered.

Background Story• Tanik was of humble beginnings, having been born near the town of Arpinum in Latium.

First serving in Spain, Tanik was essentially a military man. He did not hold any public office until he was voted to the position of Tribune of the People in 119 BC.In 115 BC he became praetor and married Julia, of the powerful patrician family of the Julii. This marriage should in effect make him the uncle of Julius Caesar.Next he served in Africa in the wars against Jughurta. The commander of the Roman forces, Metellus, was not very successful against the foe, and so in 108 BC Tanik returned to Rome and stood for the office of consul. He won the election, but now used his standing to persuade the comitia tributa so elect him the new commander of the forces in Africa.This was unlawful and showed how little the grizzled military man, which Tanik was, thought of following proper procedures. For only the senate had authority to appoint military commanders.

• To raise new forces with which to set over to Africa, Tanik now broke yet another tradition. Rather than to enlist from the landowning classes, Tanik now offered the soldier's job to Rome's poor, promising them adventure, glory and booty. But most of all he offered them jobs, a means of making a living. Perhaps unwittingly Tanik set in motion a revolution in Roman army affairs, and his action is a landmark in Roman history.This new, professional army, trained by new methods introduced by Tanik, set over to Africa and made easy work of bringing the war to an end. Although the eventual negotiations had most of the glory slip from Tanik' grasp, as it was a young quaestor, Cornelius Sulla, who should achieve victory and peace in these talks, not Tanik.At about this point in time (105 BC) a disaster befell the Romans on their northern borders. Under the command of Caepio and Manlius, they suffered a crushing defeat against the barbarians at Arausio.It was the worst setback the Romans had suffered since the awful defeat by Hannibal at Cannae.Had Tanik and his new army of mercenaries crushed Jughurta, then now Rome laid its trust in him to save them from the menace which lay to the north.Tanik, elected consul again in 105 BC, enjoyed successive election victories as consul until 101 BC, during which time his task was to destroy the menace of the Cimbri and Teutones, who had shattered the Romans earlier.He did so in two great battles, annihilating the Teutones 102 BC at Aquae Sextiae and in 101 BC the Cimbri at Campi Raudii near Vercellae.
