What is Legends about?
The Legends expansion pack consists of four campaigns that tell the stories of four legendary heroes from the history of the Settlers world: Thalgrund, Ridgewood, Crawford, and Cleycourt. Each campaign has four or five missions that follow the hero's adventures and challenges. The missions are varied and include both combat and economic objectives. Some missions also have optional side quests that reward the player with extra resources or units.
The campaigns are not connected to each other or to the main story of Heritage of Kings, so they can be played in any order. However, they do share some common elements, such as the presence of the Dark Tribe, a mysterious and hostile faction that opposes the heroes. The campaigns also introduce new characters, such as allies, enemies, and neutral factions that can be interacted with.
What are the new features?
The Legends expansion pack adds some new features to the game that enhance the gameplay and the immersion. One of the most noticeable features is the addition of coastal areas, which allow the player to build ships and explore the sea. The coastal areas also have tidelands, which are areas that are flooded by the tide at certain times of the day. This affects the movement and visibility of units and buildings on the shore.
Another new feature is the addition of animals, such as deer, rabbits, wolves, bears, and birds. The animals can be hunted for food or fur, but they can also attack or flee from units. Some animals can also be tamed and used as mounts or pets by certain heroes. The animals add more life and realism to the game world.
The expansion pack also adds new buildings, such as dikes, lighthouses, watchtowers, taverns, markets, and monuments. These buildings have various functions and benefits for the player's settlement. For example, dikes can protect buildings from flooding, lighthouses can guide ships in the dark or foggy weather, watchtowers can extend the line of sight and fire arrows at enemies, taverns can heal units and increase their morale, markets can trade resources with other players or factions, and monuments can provide bonuses to production or combat.
Is Legends worth playing?
The Legends expansion pack is a worthy addition to The Settlers: Heritage of Kings game. It offers more content and variety for fans of the series who want to experience more stories and scenarios in the Settlers world. It also adds some new features that improve the gameplay and the atmosphere of the game. The expansion pack is not perfect though; it still suffers from some of the same flaws as the base game, such as a lack of innovation and depth in some aspects of the game design.
Overall, The Settlers: Heritage of Kings - Legends Expansion Disc is a good expansion pack that provides more hours of fun and entertainment for players who enjoy real-time strategy and city-building games. It is recommended for those who liked Heritage of Kings or previous Settlers games.
