This game is just ok.
User Rating: 5.5 | Legion (2002) PC
Gameplay: At the time when it came out it was only (before Rome: Total War) Roman/Ancient Real time strategy around and it was turned based. Legion was created by Slitherine, a British game developer, and published jointly by Strategy First and Paradox, the folks responsible for Europa Universalis. It's a turn-based game played on map where province borders are determined by occupying cities. The goal of a game is to control 40% of the map and be at least 25% stronger than the next most powerful player. There are four maps, which can be played from which you can select from one of the many local tribes or the Romans who have a little provance on the map. So each provence or city you take over, and the sole purpose of that is to generate money and create armys. The battles are ok, you great rather large armys to send in to battle. What I liked about it was the whole trample effect the calvery did at the time and the amound of blood and carnage after the battle. What I did not like about it was you could not controle your units of men after the battle started which is not good when you really need your men to manouve to defeat the enemy. So anyways, It is so strait forward that a young child can pick up on the gameplay.
Graphics: The graphics are colorful I have to say and mostly 2-D with some 3-D effects. But they are definatly not the best I have seen.
Sound: The sound is appropiate for the theme and the sounds in the battles are good, but the voice acting is not so great.
Value: Before Rome Total War I always wanted to play an anciet themed RTS game so thats why I picked this up since there was a lack of them. So I would say once you have played though this game you probrably not want to play this game again and go play Rome: Total war. I give this game 5.5 out of 10
