“I think the one that annoyed me most and I remember best was “I’m melting!””

Stupid wizards. Get one past the first few levels and they were ridiculously powerful. This was balanced by them dying when a monster accidentally brushing them as it passed. So that sound gets played a lot.

I hope they don’t do what that happened w/ the northern expansion, I had it but played only a couple of levels of it because it had all those new buildings w/o an explanation of all the new stuff, in short – make a GOOD tutorial for new stuff!

Well since I still have the original on my drive, alongside Master of Magic hah, I really don’t see that much of a need for the whole 3D thing, the pre-rendered godness of the first one still holds up nicely, then again… the full 3D world seems to be the only improvement these guys are making.

I forgot how annoying those goddamn saws are… they should completely change the building effects ffsake.

The sound effects, they are coming back to me!

It’s interesting how small details such as those pay off. And yes, the game should feature the taxman’s voice. That one is iconic.

Agreed needs more original voices “Goolllddd your majesty.”. Plus I have heard “I join… the wild spirits” so many times I think it will never leave me.

Well I’m not sure we see much of people dying and levelling in the videos. It points to a positive step that they have acknowledged the sound is good, and if they add their own voices, so much the better. I would prefer rather than the old ones, that they were remixed and re-recorded.

The original Majesty was an excellent game. It introduced quite a few interesting ideas, like independent heroes that need incentives to do stuff. Anyone who likes strategy/management type games will love Majesty. Hopefully, the company that is developing the second title will capture the spirit of the original.

Who could forget that smug, whiny, “Tax collector?” I think the one that annoyed me most and I remember best was “I’m melting!”

Hold on just one second. It has the sounds, yes, but where are the voices? Those wonderful, characterful samples! “You won’t get my gold” from the running Rogues… “I’m melting!” from the ever-dying Wizards, and, of course “Oo, a pretty star!” from the Cultists when they leveled. I love those samples. It won’t be Majesty without them.

OMG! It’s even got the sounds from the original. <3

I can’t wait for this, Majesty was so good!

I really enojyed that little bit of original Majesy I got to play. Here’s hoping that the sequel will retain the juicy, irresistible pith and add a scrumptious layer of innovation and general technical uptodateness.
