[QUOTE="Marzio Morganti, post: 7583050, member: 6990931"] [I]Hi! My name is Marzio, I’m an emerging author from San Marino (an ancient independent republic inside of Italy) and a member of a small italian label called Acchiappasogni. The label produced some game in the last years, two of which in both italian and english (Musha Shugyo, Darkmoor). Today I’m here to spread some news about [I]Augusta Universalis[/I][I][I], my first full successful Kickstarter project with more than 300% founding with the Italian-only Edition, [I]soon on Kickstarter again for its first international english edition[/I][I][I]!

It’s a game about the Roman Empire in an uchronia (alternate history) in which it never fell. Thanks to early alien contact, the Empire could improve its technology and reached the stars, colonizing the solar system. We play in the year 2771 a.U.c. (2018 CE). The Empire controls Earth and has colonized the solar system. The technology helped the Empire to stand several attacks from enemy aliens. A new syncretic way of thought, called Logos, extinguished the religious wars. The entire Empire is controlled by a council of Caesars from all over the world —they compose the Imperial Senate, ruled by an Augustus chosen by the previous emperor. You play the Praetorians, an elite body of soldiers equipped with a Technolorica — an advanced biomechanical implanted armor. The Empire use groups of Praetorians to repress rebellions and fighting the enemies from the space, some of which are terrifying and sinister. Each Technolorica is composed of Systemata, pieces of technologies and tools that you will choose, according to your style of play. It is also important the place in which you attach the Systemata into the armor: changing the Assectum of your Technolorica can change the boosts you have to the actions — from attack mode to defend or to support...

The last emperor leaves two sisters and they are struggling to become the Augusta: Anastasia Eracliade is the rich and powerful Caesar of Byzantium, allied with the Soviet Tsarist Empire; in Rome, Livia Akiko Augusta, originally from the Chrystanthemi Empire, has gathered support from the techno-theocracy of Kaiser Otto from the Holy Roman Empire.
