Greetings Commmanders!
I'm Stuart98, author of many other mods and creator of the icons for the Legion mod. Thanks to me, you'll be able to watch your armies from a distance and still be able to tell what the heck is going on. I'm here to talk about some of the units of the Legion faction, strengths and weaknesses, and a quick word on release.
Dauntless
The Dauntless Bomber is Legion's core air unit. Tough, inexpensive, and efficient, the Dauntless specializes in taking out single targets like an artillery platform or your precious commander and is less effective against masses of light units; this does not mean that it's useless against them, so be sure to pack anti-air in your forces if you're up against this thing, lest they... vanish.
Starcannon
The Starcannon is Legion's solution to those pesky strongholds that repel conventional assaults. A Starcannon is constructed in orbit near the target and builds an assortment of assault units. Once completed, the cannon launches them
and they can proceed to wreck shop.
Earthshaker
Legion's heavy armored tank, the Earthshaker generates seismic waves that heavily damage anything that comes near. While not as powerful as the Machine Liberation Army's Atlas, the waves decimate light units and can cripple more armored ones. Combined with the armor that you should come to expect from the Legion, the Earthshaker is a force to be reckoned with.
Stoke
The Stoke Fast Attack Vehicle is a light amphibious unit useful in the early game. Cheap to build with decent range and a fast-firing cannon, the Stoke does an excellent job at repelling those nasty Dox forces that try to steal all of your metal and it's not too shabby at destroying the enemy's either. It is also capable of going under water, where it makes use of a light torpedo launcher to make short work of enemy submarines.
Catfish
The Catfish attack boat is equipped with a fast-firing laser, which is all well and good, and it's decently fast. It's true strength, however, lies in its light torpedo launcher. Combined with the Catfish's good speed, the light torpedo allows it to destroy submarines with ease provided it can approach them.
Comet
The Comet is Legion's mobile teleporter. Relatively cheap to construct and surprisingly mobile, the Comet allows Legion to quickly move its forces around a planet or drop a nasty surprise outside an enemy base. Capable of going interplanetary, the Comet is also key to Legion's ability to invade other worlds and subject them to the will of the Legion.
Necromancer
The Necro is a new design that summons explosive bots from the ground, which can leap to deliver a lethal payload to the enemy from afar. The Necro itself explodes violently when destroyed, which can be both a blessing and a curse.
A word on Release
If you're anything like me, you'll pretty dang excited for the mod to be released. Public Test builds will be available sooner than you think via the Public Test Builds for Planetary Annihilation's next patch, where the mod will be found in the Community Mods Manager from the main menu. The full release of the mod will coincide with the formal release of the next game patch.
Prepare for the Legion. We cannot be stopped.
I've been watching this mod for a while! I can't wait to play with it. From the pictures the quality of this mod looks really good.
Something the developers could have made themselves.
