Version 1.0 released! news

It has been over seven months since the Legion Expansion was given its first public beta. It has been a long road, and one filled with a lot of useful experiences for all of us. Tournaments have been played, balances tweaked, bugs squashed, and what we're left with is a mod we're all very proud to have contributed to.

You'll find below that we've made a lot of balance changes. We'd found that Legion was too reliant on bots, and a lot of effort has been put into making its vehicle path more viable. Beyond that we've focused on tweaking unit roles to ensure everything has a purpose based on our experience over the past seven months.

Of course, this isn't the end of the road, just the start of a new journey. We'll be continuing to monitor your games
