7th Legion is a real-time strategycomputer game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Vision and Epic MegaGames and published by MicroProse in 1997. The game consists of two single-player campaigns and supports multiplayer online games. On February 18, 2014, Tommo Inc. re-released the game on GOG.com, but without multiplayer.
The game keeps true to most other videogames of its genre, that is, putting the player in control of a number of soldiers. During the game players assume the role of a commander of either the Chosen or those that were left behind, with the overall objective being to annihilate the other. To do so, the player have to amass funds to construct various buildings and produce tanks and various war-machines whilst also recruiting foot-soldiers to combat the enemy.
Each player is also able to collect special "power-ups" that would be found in boxes that randomly dotted the landscape. These would provide bonuses to the force who collected the box. These bonuses might include making the player's forces invisible to the enemy or more powerful and thus harder to defeat.
What made 7th Legion truly unique, however, was that the player (and his opponent) could take advantage of special "power cards." These cards, each being different from each other, had effects on the game in some way. Some cards would destroy the opponents soldiers, or at least badly damage them, whilst others would cause mechanical troops to behave in a way that wasn't intended, often leading the opponents' machines in the wrong direction or not doing what was required of them.
