Now that might be confussssssiiiiinnnng.

All will be revealed in 7 days.. Wink

All we can do is wait then...perhaps it is just a presentation of ideas concerning a possible new game in the making - it may not even be playable?

7-8 days before the timer is up and we don't know if the game will be on Steam, not decided yet?

Why am I even commenting on this? As of now there is nothing to comment on really! clown

All I can say is that it is not a presentation of "just ideas".

As for Steam, there exist specific mechanisms for games which want to be distributed there. Wink

Patience...

Hmm, still sounds like a presentation, more than any real thing.
A presentation of 'more than just ideas'? ;p

We might just see a page with 'coming soon' written on it Laughing

Why have you chosen that particular date btw, why not a week earlier or 2 months later?

crazy dwarves ^^

No particular reason beyond the fact that you need a date to begin the sequence of events. Smile

You need to begin someday...right? Wink

Well I'm gonna try focusing on BC and leave the forum alone until the countdown is up, I can't play Kingdoms age and looks as if that is the only thing being discussed on the forum atm! But I ofcourse hope it is worth the wait or teasing^^!

Would you play a BC on steroids with none of its flaws, all its advantages plus new features? If yes, then I believe you will like Kingdoms Age... Let me know in a week or so... Wink

yeah, this makes me think you want to abandon BC.. and have everyone migrate to the new game..."KA is a better version of BC with none of it's flaws and all of it's benefits! stop playing BC and come to KA!"
Well. We will find out in a week I guess.

It's catering a similar setting to a similar interest group in various shades.
I remember there was a topic once "what if BC went 3D, would you like it to happen" and most replies were mixed. A lot of ppl did not like the 3d idea at all. Not every BC player also likes total war series. BC will certainly lose some ppl to KA. But plenty ppl play BC because its a convenient browser based alt-tab format. Eventually word will spread, currently i dont think most BC players know about KA at all.

We are not abandoning BC, but we can't stay with just BC either. There are new technologies and a lot of changes that we want to make, which cannot simply be made on BC without re-writing the game from the beginning, which is why we decided that a new entity needs to be born.

Can't wait for the game! Can you let us know what the required specs and performance ratings must be for a pc to be able to play it smoothly?

We are aiming for a 2 core CPU and a low-mid GPU as min reqs. for the game. Oculus can be handy too....but it is not required Wink

We are definitely adding more than 1 battle modes, but we are mainly focusing on COOP/PVP.

Examples of battle modes:

1. Capture strategical points

2. Defend or destroy a specific object

3. Destroy outpost

I can see that terrain will play am important role in this. Should be nice to set up flanks , ambushes etc.

Indeed...you can hide inside a forest, but........the enemy can set the forest on fire...so be careful...

Some terrain may be difficult to move on, so it is possible to "trap" the enemy...

Last but not least...terrain elevation...Small cliffs which provide bonuses to ranged units...a unit which is on a higher ground when fighting in melee against another will receive a bonus to check to hit...etc. etc.

Looks very exciting Rune! nice mix of skins, close ups and overviews.

Curious about the control UI shown... small mini map top right and those skulls... what's with the skulls... xD

Posts : 190 Join date : 2013-07-04

i hope there is a zoom up and in with respective quality since it feels a bit too zoomed in and hard to handle a larger army.....i hope there is less restrictions in this game....e.g. lvl for equipping gs and all that.

Thanks LSLarry...Still work in progress though... Wink

The skulls are replaced with special abilities IF a unit OR hero has them... Wink

You can zoom in/out IN the mini map...When you select a unit, it will show it in the middle of the mini map... Wink

There is a zoom in/out camera function, don't worry.. Wink

In max zoom out you will be able to see more than your whole army... In the max zoom in, you will be able to see your units from very close... You can also rotate the camera..

Spot on.
