About the game:
Before before Age of Empires, before Zeus, Poseidon, and Pharoah, and many others there was Legions, a contempory of early Caesar and Civilizations games. Appearing in 1994, it was perhaps my first city/empire building game. It is gaming at its simpliest yet requires a good bit of strategy and planning to "Conquer the World" as the game proclaims once you have defeated all the other empires. You begin simply, with one empire (a capital and a few surrounding cities). From there you conquer a neighboring empire and reap the wealth. You begin to build armies, and as your wealth grows you are able to train and establish more advanced troops all the way to heavy calvary. Especially fun is the game generated random maps which, sometimes, creates island continents. Then you are able to build heavy warships and heavy transports to convey your heavy calvary and generals to a neighboring island continent and continue on your conquest to take over the world. Diplomacy is key often as you and another empire create alliances, though they are often short lived as your allie quickly decides he wants your goods. Download and enjoy. If you have any questions or want some tips on play, just let me know via the forum.
