<strong>[ Trailer ]</strong>

You can enjoy a new in-game (though not with actual gameplay) trailer for <a href="http://www.kingarthurthewargame.com/2/index.html" target="_blank"><strong>King Arthur II</strong></a>.
<blockquote>Paradox Interactive announced today their first in-game trailer for King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame, the highly anticipated sequel for the fantasy role-playing RTS series. The story begins long after young Arthur pulled the enchanted sword out of the stone and united the war-torn lands of Britannia. Where legends normally end, King Arthur II begins its own gruesome tale...

[villain of the story]

But the legends end with Arthur and his knights being slayed by his bastard child.

 

[Topher]

I wonder if they'll release this one on disk for the US?

 

[Lyesmith]

This doesn't feel arthurian at all.

 

[Malakal]

Looks like fantasy total war. I dont mind tho, never was a big fan of Arthurian myths.

 

[Phelot]

They should have just taken a new mythology and gone with that. This looks to extreme, but whatever.

 

[Konjad]

If it wasn't fantasy I'd buy it, since I love Total War, but I hate strategies with fantasy elements and this is full of it.

not convinced... will have to wait for the LP

 

[Achilles]

It looks great! Time for more text-adventurey goodness

The first one was very, very good. Enough so that I can't imagine they can make a sequel I won't like. And while the trailer isn't much, it does look promising.

In fact, the trailer looks like shit. But as said above, I so much liked the first one (and Kings' Crusade), that I honestly can't see how they can go wrong with the sequel. The only thing I am slightly worried is that adding 3rd dimension to the battles (flying creatures) can result in horrible clusterfuck on the battlefield. But who knows. It can be fun as well.

 

[Commissar Draco]

shit: soldiers in pseudo Greek armour ala oblibion vs some weebo looking demons and gay elves. This is true King Arthur RPG:

True, the graphic design is completely out of place but if you can look past that it's actually pretty nice.
I picked up the King Arthur Collection recently so I'm replaying it. The main gripe I have with the game is the weird difficulty progression. No matter how fast I try to research stuff and how careful I am not to trigger the next quest chapter, enemy units inevitably become too advanced and my units cannot put up a decent fight anymore. And that no matter the difficulty level I pick.

I don't know, maybe I just suck at this game. In any case, I enjoy it.
