Another question about tools - can you switch to another party consisting of npcs for a few battles?

As far as I know, you can add NPCs to join the party, or you can add temporary allies to specific battles that can be controlled by the player.

You can also split the party, so perhaps you have one PC and a party consisting of NPC allies, but you would probably have to keep at least one player character.

Can i then make someone temporary ally and then build group around him after he leaves?

That's a good question, and I'm really not sure. One party member has to be designated as Party Leader, and a lot of script commands function by referencing the Party Leader. I don't know if this always has to be a player created character. If you can switch to an NPC in the party composition screen, it might be possible.

Dorateen gets a shout out. Also: Tweet, tweet mfers.
Dear RPG lovers, influencers and video game news providers,

Some of you know this from the recent KotC 2 Kickstarter update, but the world needs to know! :) My apologies for the old news.

Sharpen your swords, and prepare your spells, for Knights of the Chalice 2 will be released on Steam, GOG and heroicfantasygames.com on Friday 25 March 2022 at 6 am Pacific Time / 1 pm UK time / 2 pm Paris time!

You will find the store pages there: KotC 2 on Steam, KotC 2 Archmage Pack on Steam, KotC 2 on GOG. A new trailer for KotC 2 was uploaded to Youtube very recently and a KotC 2 praise page was created.

Knights of the Chalice 2 is a 2D RPG with turn-based combat for Windows and macOS. Create six Adventurers and set forth on an epic adventure against Evil. Overcome the odds with superior tactics. Enjoy a whole new dimension of complexity and variety based on the 3.5 ruleset! Includes a Module Editor.

Please Spread the Word to the Four Corners of the World, Fearless Knights, so that the Multitude may too Experience the Delights of KotC 2! :D

Feel free to retweet this tweet and that tweet about the launch and post about the release on RPG forums and your social networks. Let your friends and everyone know! Thank you so much for your support!! :)

Kickstarter backers will be able to download a new version of the game very soon. Thank you Vasyl for the latest issue reports! In addition, I will be sending out the Steam / GOG keys of KotC 2 to backers as soon as possible.

There will be a Matt Chat about KotC 2 in coming days. Matt's channel on Youtube can be found here.

Also, Eltimar Gaming will do a play through of KotC 2. Eltimar's channel on Youtube can be found here.

Main Features of Knights of the Chalice 2

  • Turn-based, party-based tactical combat similar to that found in the RPG Dark Sun Shattered Lands made by SSI and in Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil.
  • Advanced emergent Artificial Intelligence. Enemies act as a group and support each other. They can use special actions like Grapple, Trip, Disarm, Sunder, Feint, Bull Rush, Ready Versus Spell or Swallow Whole and other tactics like taking a Five-Foot step before casting Maximised Fireball. They might use a Wind spell to dissipate the player's Acid Fog or Incendiary Cloud.
  • More than 700 Spells and Psionic Powers. The game also features 22 Classes, 10 Races, 36 Subraces, about 500 Feats, 41 Cleric Domains, 71 Weapon Enchantments and 51 Armour and Shield Enchantments. Please see the list of Wizard spells and the KotC 2 database webpage for details.
  • Multiple-choice dialogue options offering real choices and real in-game consequences to the player. Use your party's unique skills and consider your own preferences and playing style in order to resolve situations in the most suitable manner. Accept or decline various optional quests and join different factions with conflicting interests. Create the perfect combat-focused party, or have fun creating a party of eccentric misfits.
  • Enjoy a variety of engrossing puzzles and riddles. Use your intuition and logical thinking to decrypt mysterious coded messages. The game's cryptography interface, inspired by Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars, makes decoding a captivating activity. Do not worry about the difficulty of puzzles and riddles though, as the game frequently provides Hints designed to help you resolve this type of challenge.
  • Play through the extensive Tutorial Adventure to learn the ins and outs of the game's interface easily. The tutorial is a unique adventure. It features multiple endings and offers a number of important choices. Create your main character and start exploring the ruins of the ancient citadel of King Valdrek. Your adventure will bring you new friends, but you may also get more than what you bargained for.
  • Experience brand new tactical challenges. Get ready for pitched battles with frequent enemy reinforcements. Some monsters will attack the party once it is divided into two subgroups. Your characters may have to fight underwater, brave the heat of a volcano, or endure the toxic fumes of a gigantic poison trap. Some particularly devious areas, called Death Snares, will tax the party's fighting ability and survival skill to its extreme limit.
  • KotC 2 Augury of Chaos allows you to create your level-1 characters and take them all the way to level 21 or so. There is no limit on character level. You can create up to six characters from scratch. In addition, you may recruit eight permanent companions during the course of the adventure, increasing your total number of party members to eight or nine by the end of the game. Temporary companions and allies will also be assisting your party from time to time.
  • User-friendly interface. Launch a charge, full-attack or coup-de-grace with a single click - the computer will automatically look for the best option available. Out of combat, move the party with a single click or by keeping the mouse button pushed. Also see the KotC 1 How to Play webpage for more information.
  • Omnipresent help files and clear in-game feedback on the results of each dice roll, saving throw, attack roll, modifiers and so on. A similar feature exists in Temple of Elemental Evil.
  • With the right materials and sufficient gold and experience points, craft your own weapons and armour and apply enchantments like Vorpal, Life Stealing, Wounding, Swift, Dispelling or Flaming Burst. Please see the complete list of enchantments for details.
  • Use the powerful integrated toolset to create new modules and campaigns easily. Easily swap monster tokens and sprites or create new ones. Create new monsters, new dialogues and new maps easily. The best modules may also generate an income stream for you thanks to the 5-5-5 User Module Offer.
  • Enjoy fast Saved-Game loading and saving and numerous game options designed to accelerate gameplay. Enjoy various convenience features, such as the Saved-Game preview image display, automatic potion and scroll distribution to the party members, Tab key press to highlight objects that may be interacted with, Inventory Screen weapon-comparison tooltip, and the highlighting of spell scrolls that may be learned by a character.
  • Thanks to its successful Kickstarter campaign, KotC 2 will receive many further improvements in the future, including new creature sprites, new feats, new items, a new iconised combat-actions menu, and more. New adventure modules will also be created.
  • Enjoy collecting 100 Steam / GOG achievements designed to challenge the best tacticians. Easily increase the difficulty level to create a drastically different experience where each and every one of your decisions both in combat and out of combat could mean the difference between life and death. Or simply download an extensive user module, such as Dorateen's Hearkenwold, for an awesome change of pace. Get ready for hundreds of hours of immersive and delightful playtime!
Thank you for reading! Best regards everyone! ^_^
