The Rising of the Ninth Legion
There’s a new force to reckon with in Avalon, and it’s not your run-of-the-mill marauding crew. The legendary and historically elusive Ninth Legion of Rome has re-emerged from the shadows of Tartarus onto the enchanted island. Led by Gaius Julius Mento, once a formidable Roman tribune, this legion now commands sinister powers granted by their deceased ruler, Septimus Sulla. Gaius envisions forging an Eternal Rome right on Avalon, but before that, he must rally his scattered troops.
A Roman Campaign in Avalon
As you step into the armor of Gaius Julius Mento, you’ll lead the Ninth Legion through a campaign steeped in Roman lore. Confront nightmarish beasts, engage in fearless battles with Pict tribes, and stand against the ancient Fomorians and Sídhe. You may even challenge Sir Mordred’s Round Table, originally featured in King Arthur: Knight’s Tale. Your conquest spans fifteen meticulously crafted missions, each offering a decision point that could alter Gaius’ destiny.
Tactical Combat Meets Role-Playing
Fans of strategy and storytelling—you’re in for a treat! In "King Arthur: Legion IX," control a squad of five to six unique heroes while you navigate the mystical landscapes of Avalon. This game focuses on tactical cover play, trap setting, and precise flanking, utilizing an advanced overwatch and opportunity system to sway the battle in your favor.
Heroes from the Abyss
Get ready to meet six new heroes, each with unique talents and abilities. Build their strengths by leveling up, unlocking skill trees, and equipping them with powerful artifacts. Tailor their development to suit your playstyle, whether you prefer a calculated or aggressive approach.
Constructing Nova Roma
