LEGION
Legion, the classic Amiga fantasy strategy/RPG, rebuilt for MorphOS. Lead a band of warriors across an island realm — explore, conquer cities, manage your army and fight real-time tactical battles — now running natively on modern Amiga hardware.
About
Legion is a fantasy strategy game with strong role-playing elements, originally released on the Amiga in 1996 by the Polish studio Gobi Software — long remembered as one of the finest Polish Amiga productions of its era.
You start with a small party and an open world: explore the land, hunt, talk to the locals, recruit and equip fighters, and take, grow and defend cities as you expand your influence. Battles play out in real time, with the option to pause and issue orders to each warrior.
This MorphOS version is a careful rebuild of the game — the same Legion, brought to MorphOS with SDL and tinygl, plus a set of quality-of-life improvements described below.
The MorphOS version
Native MorphOS build
Rebuilt for MorphOS on SDL and tinygl, with the rendering reworked to redraw every screen cleanly each frame.
Adjustable AI difficulty
Four levels — from the original Amiga behaviour up to a sharper foe that hunts you down, focus-fires and uses ranged attacks more.
Modern combat controls
Right-click to move or attack with the selected warrior, and see the movement path drawn from each fighter to its target.
Smoother movement
Warriors steer around obstacles in eight directions instead of pushing into walls, and items can be handed off between fighters on the same spot.
Stability fixes
The long-standing quit crash is fixed, along with many tinygl rendering and out-of-bounds bugs — equipment changes are fully reversible now, too.
