Gameplay

Legion Gold is a turn-based single-player wargame. The strategy of battle involves fighting on favorable terrain with enemies weak against the player's units. Other concerns are capturing cities that produce food, stone and wood. Upgrading the cities' buildings leads to the production of stronger units.

Each unit in Legion Gold has its own strengths and weaknesses, different types of attacks (melee and ranged) and weapon.

Legion takes place in the historic setting of the Roman expansion, from the conquest of Italy, Britain, Hispania, Gaul and Germania.

Campaigns

Legion Gold comes with eight campaign maps (including tutorial), each of which has three difficulty levels and options for historical and non-historical gameplay settings. The maps are generally well-researched and correspond closely to historical geography in the names of tribes and locations of cities.

Development

The development release of Legion Gold was in 2002. An iPad version was released on December 31, 2012.[1]

gollark: It's a tesselation of heptagons/hexagons on the Poincare disc model, if I remember right.
gollark: The people claiming it's pizza are LYING!
gollark: It is indeed hyperbolic.
gollark: What really annoys me is mods which actively stop automation working for some things, like... Astral Sorcery.
gollark: Turtles can't do anything which requires GUIs (except inventory access) or rightclicking on specific bits of a block or whatever, sadly.
