Sigmar, thank you for your reply!

I am rather disappointed by some of the points you referred to, for example not being able to take part in the battles launched by your enemies against your settlements. More disappointing is the easiness of the fights. And if all the characters start in the same city, then what difference does it make to choose one rather than another? *sighing* I was so looking forward to playing Konung 3.

Well you can take part of the battles, Usually when I enter my cities it becomes under attack.. (but they are usually dead before I get to them, due to my pimped out guards)
and the easyness with fights well might be just me, since I didnt know about the "Easy fights" option, so it was on the first few levels, before I noticed it and switched it off, then it was abit of a challange for a few levels, but now its pretty easy, as im a few levels higher than most monsters. (still havent completed the game).

And well.. about the diffrent characters you can play , diffrence is in atibrutes it seems, (seems you can be a spellcaster in Konung 3, but havent tried it out yet)
and I havent tried to play any other character than Eric yet, so im not 100% sure if the game is exacly the same from what character you pick, just saw they all start in the same city.

I really recomend trying it out tough, I think its a good game, as I am a big fan of the konung series.

but konung 2 the best game you have played?
it cant compare to Konung 1 to be honest! that was the most epic game ever in my opinion. (Might be nostalgia talking, hihi)

Thank you very much. Sigmar. I like the nick by the way.(Sigmar is probably your best companion in Konung 2 since he excels at most things; he's a brilliant archer, an excellent melee fighter and a pretty good blacksmith)

I keep hearing so much about Konung: Legend of the North. Do you know where I can download it? By the way, I am planning to get Konung 3.

[sigmar]

No idea where you can download, pretty old game so I guess your best bet is to order it from Ebay or similar sites, seen it out there atleast.

Konung 3 is disappointed me , free run world-wide is disabled , u can go from this village to others village easily . Only a straight at every forests , animals with low level , no easter places , secrets , too .

Beside that , different character at each version made me wonder about the story , i can't understand why we always have new heroes . Where all the guys in previous versions ?

So , Konung 2 is better than konung 3 .

[sigmar]

Agreed that the previous games where better.

And the story I think its becouse the previous heroes are all dead of age..
Konung 2 was in the Titan era if im not completly wrong, and in konung 3 they often talk about The era of the titans as in ancient history.
And beetween konung 1 and 2 it seems it was about 30-40 years diffrence, as some characters you meet the older versions of in konung 2, as in konung 1 you meet Sigmar as a young warrior, and in konung 2 as an old man.

And how about Old camp , Huntington village , Byzantine Camp ... ? I thought it must be appeared in this game , but not , new villages , new camps , byzantine seems to be extincted cause just only a byzantine camp i have seen .

[sigmar]

well not sure if the developers gave much tought to it, but contrys / civilisations do dissapair in the world.. like persia and the sovjet union etc..
and theese are just little villages, so it culd easily happen that Old camp / huntington got attacked and burned to the ground, then the survivors moved to another village / started to build a new one.

I personally dont mind that they have came up with new villages, the easy way out whold be to just randomly name the camps the same as they were in the previous games...but we still have Lower camp,forest camp and Blackwood tough hehe

Hey,

I am having a good time with Konung 3 so far but I so miss the old graphics and the random encounters. I also miss the Elixir of wisdom which used to help my weak characters become stronger. I miss the free roaming in the world and the raids of the ruler's soldiers, which used to give my characters a lot of nice equipments and experience.

By the way, how do you use the 'healing' skill ? I invested two points in healing but I don't know how to heal myself and party. Thank you!
