Players who are starting out with war/strategy games and/or looking for a game set in the ancient world will enjoy this, for a while. It will keep you amused for a while, but does'nt have the gripping 'one more turn' feature. Diplomatic options are limited, the AI is horrible, and even at the highest difficulty levels the game is easy to win once you know what you are doing. You have no control over your cities/towns and can only move military units. Comabt is handled abstractly, by selecting a tactic when you engage enemy units. However, after playing the game for a bit, the flaws come to the surface. You can line the crossing with towers, but keep in mind that Exploding-Shot is available on this map.

It's also quite easy to learn how to play. The Dark Legions, V1.1.0.5 Mascot Entertainment, copyright 2004 Walkthrough written by Caurador Lasted updated 31 Oct 10 Introduction This game may be referred to as 'The Dark Legions', 'Strategy 3: The Dark Legions', or 'TDL'. This is a feature more strategy games should have. Without a strong economy, you will be forced to disband units and can not buy materials to build more. More games should have this! Plus, your nation needs to have a strong economic infastructure to support your military, since your towns/cities supply your economy, and supplies are needed to keep your units in the field. Also unqiue is the fantasic help menus in the game (with easy to understand information) and the great history sections in the manual. To destroy another civilization, you need to take all their major cities AND kill their ruler(s). Here's where one of the unique ideas comes into play, though - you automaticaly get a heir to continue the game as long as you still have a major city. This unit is very powerful in battle, but if it is destroyed, your ruler is killed. Each nation also has an 'elite' unit that includes the ruler. Each turn, you can manage your economy (deciding what to buy or sell, although your advisor takes care of the critical needs of food and supplies), build military units, handle diplomacy, and move your units. You can select from a number of historical or random situations, from 1200 BC to 800 AD. The main objective of the game is to pick a nation and conquer the world with it.

For starters, although it runs in Windows 95/98, the age of the game shows, as the graphics are simple and you move around the map with the scroll bars, and ONLY those bars. Its a simple and unique strategy game, but has some serious flaws with it. Legions is an ignored war/strategy game from Mindscape, designed for Windows 3.1.
