Certainly scratches that itch A Legionary's Life left, I like some of the design changes like assigning points at the start instead of rolling for them, or the new stances in individual combat

Needs more events in between chapters, I keep seeing the same "I will pay you for less work" event every chapter, or the results of it, but the game is still in development and I certainly expect them coming

Maps. We need maps to show where we are in the Gaul or around Rhine for some context. History is interesting enough to read but without maps or which tribe I'm fighting in which part of France, I keep glancing over names without reading. Or the troop movements in a battle, which flank fell back, which advanced etc

Squares. I'm sure a sizeable people playing this game watched channels like Historia Civilis, videos like The Battle of Alesia. Squares give me joy. The UI has enough place to show some red squares fighting. Also Battle of Alesia was a bit short for how much of an epic feat it was

Needs a handheld tutorial century combat... Maybe the mock battle at the start that we make through events. There are more variables here than a frp and it's so convulated. I like the system though it was hard to follow at first few hours. Only cheating and editing my stats could I finally understand how turns or rounds work, or why I never got to attack

I was an original player of Legionary's Life and a big fan. I saw a lot of reviews trying to compare this to it, and I was originally kind of scared. After playing, this has to be one of my favorite games. If you're coming in expecting Legionary's Life, you probably will not be happy. BUT, I am a giant fan of the mechanics and immersion in this game. At first, the combat may seem clunky or foreign, but after a few hours I started to pick up on it, and I really enjoy the pacing of the combat. That combined with the storytelling and setting makes this an amazing pick up in my opinion.

cool + good
