Majesty 2

[TheOneFreeMan]

I'm confused about this game.

The original was generally regarded as pretty mediocre. I played it and it was definitely not a memorable game. So why, after so long, is a sequel being made? How did this come about?

Actually, Majesty has a quite large following, because it was a fairly unique take on the then quite stale RTS-formula.

Mediocre?!
What the **** did you play?

 

[Wanted Bob]

Yeah, I never liked it either... :/

What was bad about Majesty? It's a good game.

Demo is out.
660mb
Has a tutorial mission and a survival type map.

Seems fun, basically a 3D version of the original with a vastly improved(imo) interface.
Great graphics too.

Thinking of preordering now.

Some people are having trouble with the second level. It's rather simple once you've played around a bit.

Build on the eastern side of your palace, avoid directly south and west.

Fighters guild
Rangers guild
Rouge guild
Marketplace
blacksmith
cleric guild

Do some basic research for all buildings except blacksmith until you has some monies. Search north east and south east to find trading spots. Destroy any undead buildings. Get those trading posts up and replace them whenever you can, another is just south west of your place grab the spot and destroy the nearby Troll building.

Rake in the monies and get palace lvl 2, blacksmith 2, now build a Dwarven settlement. Recruit some dwarves and build two of their cannon towers directly south and next to your palace. The rest of the level is now a piece of cake. Make sure to keep an eye out for vampires they are excellent solo fighters and will waste your heroes. Either temple hero unit should be able to deal with them (I prefer to build Krypta first).

Gah, just uninstalled the demo after failing to beat the 2nd level after way too many tries, assumed it couldn't be done.

I'll just wait for the full game.
