Games Thursday : Legion Arena Review 游戏周四:军团舞台上的检讨
After playing (and mismanaging the civil administration) in Rome : Total War for the past month or so, I find myself increasingly drawn towards the smaller scale and shorter battles in Slitherine Software’s Legion Arena instead.后玩(和mismanaging行政公署)在罗马:全面战争,为过去1个月或所以,我发现自己越来越制订对规模较小和较短的战斗中slitherine软件的军团舞台上 。

Like Rome : Total War, you engage in tactical combat as the Romans against their enemies such as the Samnites, Gauls and Carthaginians.像罗马:全面战争,你从事的战术打击,因为罗马对他们的敌人如萨姆奈特人,高卢和迦太基。 There’s also a shorter Celt campaign which is only unlocked after the main Roman campaign is completed.也有较短的celt运动的其中一项,只是没有上锁后,罗马的主要运动是完成。 The Celt campaign requires slightly different tactics and strategies with their more offensively-oriented troop choices like the Celt naked fanatics as opposed to the more disciplined and tactically-flexible Roman legionnaires.该celt运动要求略有不同的战术和战略,他们在进攻上更多的面向部队的选择一样, celt赤裸裸的狂热分子,作为反对把更多的纪律和战术上灵活的罗马军团。 For a preview of some of the historically-based battles you’ll fight in the two campaigns, check out the official Legion Arena site .为预览的一些历史为基础的战役您争取在这两个运动,请查看官方的军团舞台上的网站 。

Early missions involve less than ten units on both sides on tiny battlefields (above).早期任务涉及少于10个单位就双方微小的战场(段) 。 Before long, you’re tasked to take on the Gauls and Carthaginians in massive battles (below)不久之前,您负责,对高卢和迦太基在大规模战斗(见下文)

Each campaign is simply a string of set-piece battles lasting not more than five to ten minutes each, after which denarii (Roman currency) is rewarded to you to upgrade the weapons and equipment for existing units as well as to recruit new units to your army.每个广告系列,简直是一连串的设置一块战斗持久不超过9点55分钟后, denarii (罗马货币) ,是奖励给你,以提升武器装备的现有单位以及招聘新单位到您的军队。 Requistioning of replacements for casualties in your existing units is done by way of fame points which are generously allocated under the easier difficulty settings. requistioning的替代伤亡在您现有的单位是这样做的方式,名利点,这是慷慨的分配下,更容易困难设置。 Units with sufficient combat experience can be promoted which grants them statistics and skill increases as well as specialist combat skills like anti-cavalry bonuses or additional formations (below).单位有足够的作战经验,可以促进,其中赠款他们的统计数字和技能的增加,以及专科作战技能一样,反骑兵奖金或额外的编队(下文) 。

Unlike in Rome : Total War, you not only deploy your units before the battle proper, but also issue them default movement orders like advance to contact, charge or outflank the enemy.不像在罗马:全面战争,您不仅部署您的单位之前的战斗适当的,而且他们的问题,预设运动的命令一样,事先联系,或是收取包抄敌人。 You’ll still be able to command them once the battle starts, but each command you give expends order points (slowly regenerates during battle) with better trained veteran units requiring less points to command, which I think simulates the nature of ancient warfare very nicely.您仍然可以指挥他们,一旦战斗开始,但每个命令你给expends为了点(慢慢再生期间战役)与更好的培训退伍军人的单位,要求少点命令,我想模仿的性质,古代战争很漂亮。 The tactical engine is no slouch too and mistakes are severely punished in the later missions, like this massacre of cavalry (below) which futilely attempted to attack infantry in the close confines of a dense forest.战术引擎是没有slouch过于和错误,是严惩在后来的任务,像这样的屠杀骑兵(见下文) ,其中futilely企图攻击步兵在密切局限于一个茂密的树林。 Morale is also modelled in this game quite convincingly which is essential in ancient wars where enemies were more often defeated by routing them off the field rather than killing them to a man.士气也是为蓝本,在这场游戏中相当有说服力,这是很重要的古代战争情况下的敌人,更常常打败路由将它们赶走领域,而非杀死他们一个人。

While Rome : Total War definitely has better graphics and a wider variety of units, gamers on a limited playtime may find the shorter missions and RPG aspects in Legion Arena more feasible.而罗马:全面战争绝对有更好的图形和更多元化的单位,玩家们在一个有限的游戏可能会发现较短的任务和RPG游戏方面军团在舞台上更为可行。 It also helps that Legion Arena is currently published as a Replaygem title in SG retailing at the very affordable price of $9.95它还有助于认为军团舞台目前出版作为一个replaygem标题,在秘书长的零售价是非常合理的价格为9.95美元 ![]()





There’s the prerequisite war elephants in this game of course, but fans of siege warfare may be disappointed as Legion Arena only features field battles.还有的前提下战争的大象在这场游戏中,当然,但球迷的包围战,可能会失望,作为军团的舞台,只有功能领域的战役。

This reminds me a lot of the combat portion of an excellent classic; Centurion: Defender of Rome .这使我想起了很多的作战部分一个很好的典型; 瑞安:捍卫罗马 。
Centurion seems like a fun game, I’ll check it out.瑞安好像一种有趣的游戏,我会检查出来。 Thanks谢谢
It’s not that I judge a game by its pricetag or something, but only 10$ is quite impressive for such an apparently deep game.这不是我判断一个游戏其pricetag或一些,但只有10元,是相当令人印象深刻的对于这样一个显然是深刻的游戏。 Also think the “issuing basic orders while deploying troops” is an excellent idea.也认为“发行的基本命令的同时,部署部队”是一个极好的想法。 Well, at least it caters to more turn-based oriented gamers like me…那么,至少是迎合更多的把基于面向游戏玩家和我一样…
While it doesn’t have the depth of Rome : Total War, it also doesn’t require the massive time committment of RTW to complete a campaign.虽然它没有深度罗马:全面战争,它也并不需要大量的时间承诺, RTW的完成一项运动。 I completed the game’s three campaigns after three weekends of intensive play easily 30 hours.我完成了游戏的三个运动后, 3周末密集的发挥很容易30 小时。 Plus the price (~ 7 USD) is definitely right再加上价格( 〜 7美元)是绝对的权利
Actually, ancient armies were issued orders during the deployment phase since communications of that time weren’t exactly top-notch.其实,古代两军共发出命令,在部署阶段以来,通信,当时并不完全争创一流。
Check out the demo签出演示
I’ll probably will, but defintely not now.我将可能会,但defintely不是现在。 Should be reviewing stuff you know and writing and phding all over the place… Heh.应检讨的东西你知道,写作和phding所有的地方…港灯。
