Customer Reviews of Legion (Mac)
Cheesy Someone should be shot for making this game. Prime example of a good idea gone awry. Graphics are pathetic. Do yourself a favor and save your money for something better, like Civilization 3 or Stronghold.
Fun but not obsessively so.
I enjoyed playing Legion the first 20 or so hours, but then ran out of steam.
On the good side, I love that you can't control your troops in battle. You give them orders and hope for the best. A good strategy can give you a slight edge. A bad strategy can lose the battle. Not having enough troops will always lose you the battle -- not so true in real life
On the down side, it would be nice not to have to sit through the animation of the battles when you know the results before hand (someone didn't bring enough troops). The city interface is clear and clean but a bit tedious to manage. You can't, for example, establish a build queue.
As with other TBS games, at a certain point in the game you've either won or lost; it's all downhill from there.
Legion
Legion is a strategy based game modeled after the Roman Republic and Imperial Era. Of the 4 campaigns, they give you to choose from (Gual, Britain, Italy, Whales) your best choice would be to select Unification of Italy. In this detailed game, you can choose between many tribes that exhisted through these time periods. Be the Oscans, and scare away enemies with your fierce hill warriors, or choose the Etruscans, and run over cavalry with your heroic hoplites. It's all competition in Legion.
Other than training regiments and conquering hostile neighbors, you will be able to construct cities and set up alliances in Legion. Many times the real victory comes in the diplomacy, not the battlefield.
However, Legion has its downsides. At times it amazes you, while at others you really wish victory wouldn't come with excess ore, but however with a brilliant general. Other than this downside, there should be more campaigns in Legion. Was it not the wars with the might Carthaginians that placed Rome in their domination phase? Also, instead of just forming alliances with just your surroundants, why not have a map of the known-world and draw them from there. Would you not have the advantage over your Etruscan overlords if you had Sparta at your side?
Overall, Legion is a fun based strategy game which really "Cast's the Die!" But could need more improvement not only in the militarical department, but in the overall basis.
