head to head
Star Wars: Empire at War asks more than Legion TD 2, and the gap is execution.

Optimization · Mind & Math
Economic build optimisation sharpened by predicting what humans send next.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Managing galactic economy and fleet counters, with prediction mattering against humans.
Legion TD 2 leans Optimization (Mind & Math); Star Wars: Empire at War leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Star Wars: Empire at War leans clearly harder on execution.
Legion TD 2
Placement clicks carry no mechanical pressure
Star Wars: Empire at War
Some battle micro, but APM never dominates outcomes
Legion TD 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Legion TD 2
Predicting human opponents' sends and builds is core design
Star Wars: Empire at War
Multiplayer galactic feints and fleet composition mind-games matter
Legion TD 2 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Legion TD 2
Rolled units and hidden enemy boards inject uncertainty
Star Wars: Empire at War
Fog of war hides enemy fleets until scouted
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Legion TD 2
Value efficiency and wave-by-wave build math dominate
Star Wars: Empire at War
Economy, tech order and counter-unit composition decide campaigns
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
