In the ancient world, a sharp mind could take you far. But a sharp sword would take you farther.

Since the beginning of recorded history, mighty empires have emerged to dominate the world, only to crumble into dust.

Legions lets you relive the most glorious struggles for power in the ancient world. The Peloponnesian War, Caesar's conquest of Gaul, and the rise of Charlemagne are among the 10 challenging scenarios that will test your empire-building skills in this detailed strategy game.

In Legions, as in life, there's more than one way to conquer the world. As the leader of an empire, you must balance diplomacy, economic manipulation and military strategy to attempt to overwhelm your opponents. You must position your armies strategically, then lead them into battle — where you may taste the bitter dregs of defeat, or bask in the glory of victory.
