Nice. I see there is a new school of magic "rune magic", I guess it makes the spells more powerful the more runes you have? that would be a cool thing.

Looks more like an add-on than a full game?

I think it is a full game but that is the russian version; english version might take a while

It's definitely not a game using a new engine, that's for sure! I wonder if it'll take place in the Armored Princess world (in the vein of Crossworlds) or a whole new world. I'd probably bet my money on the first, but secretly hoping for the second.

As for runic magic, I wonder if it's not something along the lines of what the dwarven faction had in HoMM V. You can see a kind of wheel or runic symbol has replaced the dragon, so it might be the same thing.

It`s good no1 named this KB2 officialy, since i see much of same settings, and graphic. It looks like new expansion, but it`s better then nothing official from game developers so far. I hope for new areas (islands and such), i like new medals, and as for runic magic i guess it`s like pet dragon sometginh like that.
And i hope they take red sands option for individual unit exp, it`s great touch to tactics in game but with new lvl`s units get some skills, instead pasive stat bonuses. So no need for many new units and unit models, only unit skills that develop during game.
This is turn based strategy game (mostly0 so nothing extra fancy needed on graphic field, just give us some new tactics options and i think players will be sattisfyed

Yeah, you could tell it was Vikings. The name "Olaf", the usage of "Valkyries", and the "icey wastelands of the north". That all gives it away .

Now the question remains, is Olaf going to get a chance to cross the Rainbow Bridge?

Whilst I am very very pleased with this announcement surely after 3 games with the same engine it is time for something completely new. You've got the most out of KB:TL, now it's time for an overhaul.

I want KB2 please.

I`m not for overall change, but some slight combination.
Expl : all classes have (almost) same medals, why ? Make different class different playthrough, i personally in every game get pet to 60+lvl, and rage medal to max lvl. Change medal advancement so getting some medal unlock other choices then after those you get other etc . . .
Change spell effects as in how they depend to item and some hero skills (not just order/diss/chaos skill lvl`s).
As i said on my previous post unit exp unlocking talents, something like orcs adrenaline. Now ppl kite islands get dragons and from first battle have strongest units in game, with my idea you`ll have to win some battles to get units to be usefull.
New items, but no totally new, just upgrade already existing to be useful later in game (i did this to couple in red sands and it interesting to think new item ideas).
AND PLS SOME KIND OF MULTIPLAYER.
Playing against AI is interestng just up to some point, but after trying couple army/skill builds AI just isnt enough for testing our tactics

There is (in development) KB: The Legions for MP games. Another game.
