__TOC__
== Description ==
Tariq grew up in war-torn Syria and is well aware of the fragility of peace. Following an illustrious military career, he became a private security contractor concerned with providing protection for civilian populations in war zones. In time, he grew tiered of the violence around him and decided to join the Mars Colonization Project as a security expert to help create a new society that can prevent conflicts before they break out. He believes that an ordered society with strictly enforced laws and a strong judicial apparatus can never give rise to violent outbreaks, as long as the system itself is kept free of corruption. Having spent his life at war, Mars finally offers him a chance at peace.

== Gameplay ==
Tariq's Overwork ability, while sometimes helpfull, has two major drawbacks: 1. it can only be used once per city and 2. with Tariq being an early game leader, the resource gain from the ability is likely to be limited. On the other hand, his Police Station building is great, since it allows to offset early penaltys for Living quality (like low temperatures) and will scale in the later stages of the game if the population of the city is increased. His Specialization, like most early Game Boost specializations has the ability to provide a significant boost in Water production in the end game, especially with water being one of the more readylie available resources later on with some provinicial and oceanic buildings providing large amounts of water.
