Patch for Majesty 2 Declared to All

NEW YORK – October 2, 2009 – Paradox Interactive today announced a new patch for the recently released Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim. The first patch adds some new game features, as well as addresses issues affecting the overall gaming experience.

Getting it now...thanks!

 

Just out of interest, can anyone confirm if the "Holy Partonage" typo is just in the fix list or whether it's actually made it to the game to

 

Thank you for the reply with the changes. Newbie me... There is a txt file with that

I really like that thing about the stone incantation. It will prevent the abuse in MP games - not to mention the Pretenders to the Throne Single player game

 

thanks muchy.

 

Great balance!

 

Thanks guys. ^_^

 

I can confirm the game has not updated on steam.

 

Clearly Gabe is too busy munching his chicken wings to push the launch button.

/rant

I'm sure it'll get here, sooner or later. Fortunately I haven't encountered any game-breaking issues myself.

 

Still nothing on steam =(

 

Nice patch, but was I the only one to notice the tile of the GG patcher?

"Setup - Majesty 2 patch v1.0.97 en INTERNAL UNPROTECTED"

Nice not having to enter my mail and key, but surely not intentional?

 

Thanks for the patch
