Legion War

Legion War is a 4X strategy game set in a fantasy world. You lead a legion, build castles, expand your territory, explore unknown lands, seek treasure, develop heroes and troops, defeat opponents and challenge the god ruling the world behind the scenes. Procedurally generated maps make each game different, and support up to six legions playing together.

Legions and maps

Choose from four legions: the expansive HUMAN, crafty UNDEAD, advanced STEAM and WILD. Each has four unique heroes, nine specialized units, nine spells and its own set of technology cards. The worlds can include maps such as Pangaea, Great Plain, Mediterranean, Islands and Ring Continent.

Resources and castles

Compete for Gold, Knowledge, Industry and Magic. You can gain resources by capturing the corresponding sites on the map or building structures in your castles. Spend Gold to construct or upgrade buildings in castles and sea castles. Each castle has one main building slot and eight secondary slots, which open as it grows.

Units and heroes

Units explore, find treasure and fight enemies as you work toward conquering the gods. Each legion has nine unique units, and you can recruit neutral units by occupying mercenary camps or sea castles. Industry buys upgrades that apply to all units of the same type. Each unit has an independent talent tree for developing it into different roles, and you can equip it with three items.

Each legion also has four unique heroes. Technology cards can turn normal units into heroes, giving that unit access to talents and equipment but limiting you to one of that unit. Heroes get different talent trees in each game, with a different upgrade talent each time, and can wear six pieces of equipment to customize their roles.

Spells and technology

Each legion has nine unique spells. Casting them consumes mana and has an immediate effect: spells can attack enemies, assist your army, reveal areas through the fog of war or summon fields of tombs.

Knowledge unlocks technology cards across three legion-specific trees: economy, military and magic. Each tree has three levels, with higher levels opening after you buy a card from the previous level. Most cards are shared between legions, while each also has unique cards for specialization. Cards can improve economic output, unit strength and spells, among other effects.

Events and celestials

Hundreds of random events bring unexpected changes as a game progresses. Two celestials begin neutral to all factions. If you occupy an altar, you can pay tribute to one in exchange for magic, but doing so angers the other. When a celestial’s wrath grows too great, it can send troops to attack or join the battle itself.
