About PERIMETER: Legate Edition
Perimeter: Legate Edition lets players reshape terrain to harvest energy, attack foes, or strengthen defenses while contending with hostile geological forces and the Scourge. Set in the Chains of Worlds, you command Legates—frame commanders—over base building and strategic battles.
The story spans centuries after the Exodus, featuring multiple Legates from rival factions such as the Return coalition and the Spongean Empire. Missions for each side influence the Psychosphere’s history, and the English campaign mirrors the original Russian version, though it lacks voice‑over.
01 / THE GUIDE
Terrain Transformation
Players can alter the landscape to generate energy, use it offensively, or improve defenses, creating a dynamic battlefield. This mechanic must be balanced against ongoing geological threats and Scourge entities. The system encourages strategic planning, as terrain changes affect both resource acquisition and combat potential, demanding careful timing and placement.
- Observe how terrain shifts impact enemy movement before committing large energy expenditures.
- Experiment with defensive terrain upgrades in quieter map areas to test their durability.

Multiple Legate Perspectives
The narrative follows different Legates from various factions, offering distinct viewpoints on the unfolding events. Each Legate’s missions shape the broader Psychosphere timeline across centuries. This structure results in a unique storytelling approach, as human characters are rare and the focus remains on factional conflict and ideology.
- Compare mission objectives between factions to notice thematic contrasts.
- Track how each Legate’s decisions influence later story beats.

Legate Edition runs on Windows and Linux, supporting widescreen monitors at virtually any resolution. Players can adjust resolution on the fly, and windowed mode dynamically resizes the game view. These features allow flexible display setups without needing to restart the application, catering to varied hardware configurations.
- Test different resolutions in windowed mode to find the most comfortable UI scale.
- Utilize Linux builds if you prefer open‑source environments.

Multiplayer Capacity
Online multiplayer supports more than four players on special maps, enabling larger strategic engagements. The game also offers LAN PvP and family sharing, expanding access to cooperative and competitive play. All frames from Geometry of War, Emperor’s Testament, and electro‑technologies are available in these modes, ensuring balanced options for varied team sizes.
- Organize matches on the special maps to experience the extended player limit.
- Mix frames from both expansions to explore balance differences.

Campaign Version Differences
The Legate Edition includes the full English campaign, matching the original Russian storyline, though it lacks English voice‑over. Players can restore the truncated version with voice‑over by disabling a specific mod. This approach preserves narrative fidelity while offering optional audio content for those who prefer the original voice work.
- Disable the "True English campaign" mod if you want the voice‑over version.
- Read community translations to clarify any omitted storyline elements.
