Message from Paradox Interactive trough Twitter: "seems like the Majesty 2 demo leaked. Hope people enjoy it :)"

By the way where is the whole Paradox team? They all migrated to twitter and only twitter? They didn't show up on the forums since days and there were some questions in some topics... Nah, it doesn't matter... I won't annoy myself with this... I accepted that I won't get any info about the map editor... :(

Anyway... because of the big "the heroes are lazy, the don't do anything" drama in nearly all other topics I frapsed 2 scenes from my first play in English demo.

automatic exploration after recruiting new rangers

Response to a 100 gold Explore Flag in seconds by a ranger

But thats on the small map. I noticed the further the flag is from castle and the more enemies are in the way, the more money you have to pay.

I did need to pay 500g on a flag to border regions so a ranger goes there.

But it sounds logical. The more risk the quest has the more reward it needs.
I just wanted to show that the system is not broken, the rangers autoexplore and respond to explore flags. Just they are lazier/they needs more reward for theit work.
And I tested the guild defend system. It's strange coz sometimes rangers instantly respond to guild-attacking rats and sometimes not. It seems like a bug to me. But they definitely attack rats next to them. So I think that this "heroes don't attack monsters" thing is because the enemy monster is not weak enough and heroes won't risk their life for no reward :)

I think you didnt understand. Its about heroes not stopping their action to kill enemy near. In majesty 1 if a hero was going for a flag and met an enemy on the way there, he would change action to kill it, then continue. In M2 demo, he goes after the flag and ignores enemies. Of course if the hero has nothing to do, he will attack the rat.

For example, imagine a situation when your warrior guild is besieged by enemies, 2 knights are inside. You have put bounty on some lair before. Now this happens. Knights go out, and instead defending their home, they go after the lair and THAT is the error. They should kill enemies first, especialy when they are tearing down roof their house. And on their way to the lair they will ignore every mob, and every mob wich has some action set (ie. not wandering) will ignore them also.

So the problem is not heroes not attacking mobs, but heroes not switching actions and reacting to new situations. Something wich worked fine in M1, but seems to not work in the demo. The fact that heroes cannot change actions, means the protect flag wont help you much, unless you dont have any kill/explore flags set.

I noticed this too, and it should be fixed. I believe it will, if not by release, then in a patch soon after.

All in all, my impression from the demo is very positive. There are some issues, but it feels like Majesty (hooray for George Ledoux!). I'm looking forward to the game, even though I don't have a lot of time for playing atm.

Wow you play defensively. I sally forth and destroy the lairs so I don't have to defend against mobs :D

I just wanted to do a short video most time using 5×speed and this needed some tower to be sure that monsters wouldn't rape me too fast :)

I've just did the map early in the morning without any kind of tower using and I am very proud of myself! :cool:
Your tip with elves helped a lot. Their immobilize spell (for 500 gold if I remember well) is very cool too!

Edit: next mission - do the map without any hero death. It will be easier I think. But then: without ani hero death and without towers. That will be hard as hell :D

i donwloaded from the net, but thx for suporting!

well, my first observation about the game is the stupid heroes, they AI is realy bad, heroes are realy idiots, they need to improve the AI a little bit, and also, more armor for the buildings.

and i enjoyed the game =]
