If you like deep strategy games where the gameplay and the tactical challenge matters most than the graphic aspect, then you would definitely like some Matrix Games titles. And one of them could be Legion Gold, an expanded and better version of the Legion game developed by Slitherine Strategies. If you are interested in such a strategy game, we have good news for you: the game can be purchased from the Matrix Games website, too.

Legion Gold is a game of ancient warfare strategy and tactics where players can command massive armies in the ancient world and build powerful cities that are able to pass the tests of time. And war, since that's what you will do mostly. The game, as its name suggests, is an expanded and improved version of the original and it promises to bring gamers more hours of Legion-like gameplay. The improvements we were talking about touch important topics like diplomatic, economic, and management elements, improved strategic and tactical elements in the battle system, 3 new campaigns, new races, units, structures, and more!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said "Legion Gold is the definitive version of this Roman empire-building classic and we're glad to be able to offer it at Matrix Games. With so many historical strategies and options available to the player, Legion Gold can offer near endless fun!"

The game takes the players in an unique Roman Empire adventure, allowing them to control one of the numerous nations or, better said, Roman tribes strive to become the greatest power in the world. You will have to pass the tests of micromanaging your cities, establishing the right diplomatic relations and winning huge realistic battles. Everything in a historical accurate world where all maps, soldiers' uniforms and weapons are modeled to capture the flavor of the ancient world and its warfare.
