I recently reviewed the first of the three Elven Legacy expansions, Ranger, and this month and I have been playing the second to be released in the series, Siege. 
One of the first things to capture my eye about this game, even since the very first Elven Legacy was the level of difficulty and getting through the different stages of the game. In each scenario you are confronted with what can seem unachievable goals. but if you are of a tactical mind, or you just like doing things for a second, third or fourth time until you get it right, then this leaves nothing short of what you expect from the masterminds at 1c company & Paradox Interactive.
You are now in control of 3 new characters as you skirmish your way through 19 brand new missions each of which requires you to use all your previous Legacy knowledge as well as mastering control over multiple units in one turn rather than moving things one at a time. This does make it easier to plan your attacks but there does always seem to be twice as many enemy units than what you have available to you and the game AI does not take kindly to bad strategic decisions and unquestionably shows no mercy to the bad placement of your units leaving you with that same old scenario of restarting the mission again which can get very frustrating!
The overall story is pretty much the same, outcast elves and humans along with dwarves defend their lands, from what seems to be elven refugees. The battles are as the title would suggest (Siege) filled with most needing you to take over or defend cities and fortresses. All of this is simple and explained in the first few missions of the game it’s just the enemy units that you have to be aware of. As before, you are 
given decisions and medals depending on how you perform during your battles, if you get enough gold medals you will get a bonus mission, but my guess is you have to be a genius to do that well because I seriously struggled even on easy
Graphically this game is nothing different and not short on detail as in previous versions and the sounds and effects still complement the depth of the game play. Overall, if you are a fan of this series then the extra content is something you’re going to be very pleased with and at 10 Euros it’s certainly worth every penny for the hours of fun you’re going to get from it.
