Darn, that looks amazing. Still dont understand if there´s 3 or 2 new campaigns, but in any case, its awesome.

And even more awesome: campaign editor. Now we will see what this faithfull community can come up with.

I buying this on day 0, I hope english version dont take too long.

That she got a boob job, garter belt, and some strange leg armor that looks detachable? Ok, so she caved in. Besides, if you maxed out all your skills, and had a few million in the bank, why not indulge yourself a little.

Awesome cover art.

I like the picture of lake fairies laying on the dragon's beak

Thanks for sharing, Mandea.

One quick complaint, though: do they have to keep recolouring existing units? Give us something new for pete's sake!

game preview in polish (use google translate guys!): http://www.gry-online.pl/S022.asp?ID=6628

quite a lot information!!!!


edit:

The most important thing is that the Orc March campaign is in fact the reworked version of campaign from AP. I guess the company wants to show the players what they can do with scenario editor. I do not know how big the changes will be, but I guess they will be significant and i hope we will not get a boring experience here. The second thing is that Arthur scenario seems to be quite big and interesting. We do not get any information about new 3d models, but only about "new monsters". Does it mean we will only get recolored versions of units? Or maybe we will get both new models and recolored old units? Again, my guess is that scenario editor will give us a chance to make our own skins for all existing models.

A few impressions:

- The two new campaign modes look more and more interesting the more we see. It's encouraging that they look like fully-written campaigns, not just a series of battles without context. Leveling up unit types sounds interesting, as long as it doesn't lock us into using the same units throughout a whole campaign.

- I wonder if the "70+" new items in Orcs on the March will mostly be the ones from the Gift Bag.

- I agree with Meta about the recolored units. I don't even mind that much when it's clearly just a variant on an existing unit (e.g. Blood Shaman), but painting an Imp green and calling it a Faun is just insulting. It gives the whole thing a bit too much of an "amateur mod" feel.

- Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but seeing in one of the screenshots that you have an option to take out a contract on an assassin named "Altair" set off alarm bells. Humorous references have always been part of KB, but they've been references to classic literature and film, not other video games. Maybe I'm just scarred by the dying days of HOMM (Spazz Maticus, anyone?), but lower-grade humor sounds like a sign that the franchise has been handed off to lesser minds ...

- Are "witch hunters" dressed in black a thing from Russian culture? I'm surprised to see a unit so close to the one from Disciples.
