Summary

[edit]

Screen capture of Iron Age Roman settlement in Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome (version 1.0A) showcasing particularly the architecture of the Roman civilization and two scythed chariots. These are both additions brought by the expansion pack.

Licensing

[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. Ensemble Studios has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
  2. It is a low resolution screenshot of a video game.
  3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the video game in any way.
  4. The image is being used solely for informative purposes, as it serves to illustrate the form in which the game takes place.

Fair-use in Genie Engine

[edit]

This image is subject to copyright, however, its use constitute fair-use under United States laws for the following reasons:

  1. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game;
  2. Use of this image does not limit or prevent the license holders' ability to sell the game;
  3. No substitute is available under a free license, a shot that better shows off the engine advancements would be preferable;
  4. The image is being used to show how the Genie Engine advanced from Age of Empires to The Rise of Rome.
  5. The image is widely distributed across the Internet already, so its use on Wikipedia does not have much more of a significant impact on the license holders.
