Legion Arena is a real-time tactical RPG by Slitherine Strategies that allows the player to play as several tribes during the rise of the Roman empire. The player can play as the Latin tribes, the Celts and the Romans. It is published by Freeverse Software for Mac OS X and Strategy First for Windows. Legion arena includes many different units including war elephants and barbarians. Though it seems to be very similar to Rome Total War, there are many differences. Though its graphics can't match Rome Total War's there are more realistic features. For example, not all men of the same unit are dressed in the same attire. Also, Legion arena boasts realistic strategy. Light infantry fight best in the woods and boggy ground. An enemy can take advantage of this by either hitting light infantry in the open or drawing cavalry or heavy infantry onto boggy ground or a forest.
