changedThis week, we are excited to share the story behind the creation of the Illustrans deck, one of the two decks available in Vestiges: Fallen Tribes inspired by the grandeur of the Roman Empire. As we delve into the creative journey of this deck, we want to remind you guys that our open beta build will be removed from Steam on July 17th. Now let’s talk about how the creative team went from just an idea to their first concepts of the Illustrans.Little disclaimer One of the most fastidious challenges the team encountered during this creative phase was basically to avoid inconsistencies and cultural appropriation that would misrepresent any existing population or ethnicities. “It is very important to understand that we are using History as a research base to create the factions, it is not our role to distort any reality nor established truths about ancient or existing civilizations or nations,” says Art Director Suzanne Rault. Whether they are inspired by real events or people, every composants of Vestiges: Fallen Tribes is fiction.

Now let’s talk about how the creative team went from just an idea to their first concepts of the Illustrans.Behind the choice of this very Roman inspired faction is a desire to stay close to the Studio’s Mediterranean roots. “We are located in Lyon, France, which was funded by the Romans in the 1st century BC,” explaines Suzanne Rault. Indeed, Lyon, called Lugdunum at the time, still embraces that Roman influence today. Downtown and the old Lyon are part of the Unesco World Heritage Sites. You can visit the Gallo-Roman museum and sit at the Ancient Theatre of Fourviere where musical and theatrical festivals are organized. And it’s not limited to Lyon, most of France was occupied by the Romans at the time.

Now let’s talk about how the creative team went from just an idea to their first concepts of the Illustrans.There was a time when the Illustrans were well known for their complex government and their imperial dominance over the world. What made them the Great Power of this time was, just like the Romans, their abilities to create tools and innovative technologies to access and distribute water all around their Empire. “The Romans were clearly ahead of their time especially when they created the aqueducts to bring water to the cities, Creative Director, Pierre Heinisch explains. It was interesting to make our first faction as powerful and capable as the Romans but also kind of exceeded by the situation inside Vestiges.”

Indeed, at some point water ran out, and it got more and more complicated for them to function properly. They lost domination over a lot of places and couldn’t keep up with technological advancement. They are nostalgic of that past greatness and keep thinking they cannot be defeated.
