[h3]Ave Legionaries![/h3]
We are happy to announce that from today we will publish Devlogs about game development every three weeks to keep You informed about progress and allow us to receive early feedback from the community.
So without further ado lets dive into the world of ancient legionaries.

[h3][b]Featured world:[/b][/h3]
We are Legion: Rome will be happening in the world [u][i]inspired[/i][/u] by series of military campaigns waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against Gallic tribes colloquially known as the Gallic Wars.
We will meet historical characters like Vercingetorix and fight in historical battles like the Battle of Bibracte. However, most of the background behind those events and people will be a work of fiction.
It will allow us to be flexible and astounding in our storytelling. We do not aim at full historical accuracy, but we do not intend to deviate too much from it either.
We want to make a realistic, action-packed game set in a fascinating period.

[h3]Who is Kassius[/h3]
Our story's main hero. A young, ambitious recruit who is eager to fight for the glory of Rome!... and more prosaic reasons. We are Legion: Rome will tell the tale of a man thrown into the whirlwind of great events and less-great reality hidden behind pathos. Blood, sweat, mud and tears, this is Your life now Legionary!
The story of Kassius and other legionaries will be down-to-earth, brutal and...human. Historical events will determine our actions rather than we influence their course. Kassius motivations to join the war are simple. He needs to gain wealth to marry the love of his life Mirabella. He will correspond with her during the game, but should he share the methods used to reach the goal?
([i]Letters to Mirabella are going to be separate subject for future Devlogs[/i])
We will begin as the lowest rank legionary and climb into the army's hierarchy. Who knows what the future may bring for a talented man. Maybe we will become a Centurion one day? One thing we know for sure, the path to this honour won't be easy. In the beginning, we will need to gain the respect of other legionaries in Contubernium and try to advance to more prestigious Cohorts.
([i]Contubernium and Cohort systems are matters for another Devlog, though.[/i])

[u][h3]That's about it story-wise. Gameplay-wise, Kassius is a killing machine.[/h3][/u]As much as we want to create an interesting story, deep characters and complex camp mechanics, we are not going to lie - We are Legion: Rome is the first and foremost action game.
All of Camp life activities have one primary purpose: To prepare You for the Next Battle to defeat an enemy in the most glorious way possible. And Cohorts will reward You for that with higher rank, new skills and better stuff. Several battle scenarios, team-fighting, various weapons, and easy to learn hard to master combat system are the main thing in our game. You better be well equipped as Gauls are fearsome warriors, but how the equipment will work in We are Legion: Rome?
About the equipment system, design inspirations, and models work in progress in the next Devlog 25.03.2021!
Yours "We are Legion: Rome" Titanite Games Team.
