Legion Gold Now Available From Matrix Games

The successful Slitherine Strategies hit is
now available at Matrix Games

Matrix Games and Slitherine Strategies are
excited to announce that the classic game of ancient warfare strategy and
tactics, Legion Gold, is now also available from Matrix Games. In Legion Gold,
players can command massive armies that march across the ancient world and build
mighty cities that will last through the ages while also standing amid the blood
and mud on the battlefield and commanding the tactical action of every battle!

Well-received by gamers and critics alike, Legion
Gold is the expanded and improved version of its predecessor, Legion, and
includes not only the original Legion game but a hefty expansion pack too! The
“Gold” expansion brings gamers even more hours of gameplay on top of the already
addicting Legion system. Improvements in Legion Gold over Legion include vastly
improved 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
