Looks awesome, this game is on probably on the top of my must-buy list. I loved the original Majesty. I am even more excited about this that L4D2 and I a huge fan of Valve’s work.

That is not the intro to Stingray. This is.

You can overrun your enemies with parties of rogues. They’re greedy and fast. And cheap :)

@Kyr: Really? Okay. That makes me feel a little better. I’ll miss my armies of dagger-wielding Healers, though – overrunning your enemies with Clerics doesn’t sound nearly so hilarious.

>Agrela got renamed Agralia
Is not. Agrela is still Agrela in the game, it’s a typo in the clip.

Re: Helia, Paradox has been messing around a bit with the Majesty pantheon. Lunord is gone, as are his Adepts (give me speed, Lunord!), leaving Helia and Krolm as enemies. Agrela got renamed Agralia for some reason. And yes, it looks like Solarii have been ditched in favor of Archers of Helia. Which is lame.

Also I have my name in an RPS article, I feel so Internet-famous! Especially since Kieron didn’t put my last name in the Champion of Guitars article >:(

Loved the first game, loved the trailer (and on an aside, loved magnum PI too)

@Professor: wow, that’s pretty similar, indeed.

So that was a cute idea and all, but is that the full cast of characters? No Cultists, no Warriors of Discord, and the awesome Solarus replaced by some sort of “Archer of Helia”? What with the Sisters of Krypta dressed in their Easter best instead of red and black robes, it seems like this game is doing its best to murder my enthusiasm out of existence in the fastest way possible–doing away with ALL my favorite characters! :( The new Rogue looks pretty cool, but no way is that making up for losing all the most fun Temple units!

Say it ain’t so!

This pleases me!!!

I played the Majesty Demo for like 80 hours, and the full game, oh, countless dozens of hours. (I was an obsessive 12-year-old). For all its flaws, it was phenomenal and utterly unique in my experience! Also charming. And alternatively very Easy, and very Difficult.

I am excited! Especially seeing as how the developers seem to possess a sort of sense of humor.

But — I see there are Archers of Helia. I will be VERY VERY SAD if my Solarii are gone! (Also here’s to hoping we still have Adepts).

From Erik Wolpaw’s http://www.quartertothree.com/columns/geryk_analysis/majesty_a_2.shtml"review of the original Majesty: “If you don’t get a thrill from watching stat bars rise, then it might be time to start considering a new hobby altogether.”
