DESCRIPTION

Lay the foundation for the ancient world's greatest empire in this strategy game developed by Paradox Entertainment. Unlike the Renaissance period international trading of Europa Universalis, the developer's successful earlier strategy title, Legion is set over 2,000 years ago and concentrates on the tribes and territories of just one rising nation.

Player's choose a tribe to lead against all others, to claim territory and resources, build cities and fortresses, and eventually expand to rule all of ancient Rome. Warfare takes place on battlefields modeled after actual maps of the time and territory. Well-organized armies, making the best tactical use of the terrain, will win the day. Good diplomacy is equally important, as the player strives to unite the land's many leagues and city-states under one rule. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
