Gamespot

I also find the final comments interesting:

The game has a good battle engine, but that's about all it has. Hopefully, Slitherine will build on this and include the overarching strategy game next time.

I think it's well written and the reviewer has actually played the game (which is rare nowadays) and makes some good points (but he only played in normal and/or hard, because...

Sure, the battles get progressively harder, but they're generally not so hard as to cause frustration

)

I like the end of the article:

EDIT. Anguile's been quicker than me on quoting his last sentence!!!!!

Not too bad score really, i think its the lowest i've seen. The user score is pretty decent those 8.1 or so, from 50 votes.

Yeah, but he's telling you the same thing we have been politely trying to say - that Legion II really needs the combination of the LA tactical engine (or at least a version thereof) married to the strategic game from Spartan/GoT.

Believe me, we understand when you say you just can't afford to do that, but....oh hell, I don't know what!

I thought they said that was why they made Legion Arena. To test upgrades to their battle engine. If not, though, I agree with possum. I haven't played the full version of any of your games, but I tried the Spartan demo, and I loved. The only draw back was a terrible turn limit

(but I prefer turn limits to limited time trials, I almost never get those, and hate myself when I do. It is like good chocalates, you know it is there and it will be fun, but you want to save it forever and ever, only worse. I can't take that kind of strain.)

Anyway, being able to customize troops and order them within the battle (though the second isn't nessecary) would add alot more depth a repay value, in my opinion.
