To the right, we have a warrior's guild, where we can recruit up to 4 warrior-type champions for our realm. I will be sitting my lovely lily-white arse on the velvety pleasantness of my cushy throne while you lot are all out in the rain and muck risking life and limb fighting horrible monstrosities.
The big walled thing in the middle is my glorious seat of luxury and power, the palace. There are numerous different settings and options that can be set for freestyle games, but in order to get things moving along, I'll save you all the tedium and confusion of voting on the many, many options and just set up the first round myself.Īnd that's it. I'm a bit rusty at this ol' girl, so I'll be taking it relatively easy to start with. I will be playing the random map/freestyle game mode of Majesty, as it allows for the greatest freedom and also the most leeway for doing things the, um, "less than optimal" way.
So if you ever wanted to have an entire neighborhood of houses all called "Tim", Majesty is indeed the game for you. Being able to call your favored archmage by the honorable epithet "Lord Bighat" is only the tip of the iceberg, as you can also "name" the lowly wandering peasants, tax collectors, city guardsmen. To make things interesting, you can name and rename pretty much anyone.or anything, really. Heroes come in many different shapes and sizes, and everyone has their own randomized stats and semblance of a personality. Then, watch as they go about and completely ignore whatever it was you wanted them to do, in favor of spending all their time and money at the nearest brothel *ahem*, relaxation lounge. That's what Majesty boils down to.Ĭonstruct guildhouses to attract various types of champions, build up your town's infrastructure and basic defenses, and make sure to provide your heroes with all the amenities they might require. Now, imagine that instead of the hero, you were in fact playing as the town. Imagine your standard RPG, with you as the dashing, heroic minmaxed protagonist marching calmly into the nearest town to rent a room at the local inn, browse through the gear proffered by the blacksmith, and restock on the all-important magical soda pop of healing. Rather than the micromanagement clicks-per-second style of StarCraft, WarCraft or Command and ConquerCraft, Majesty went in the other direction by making sure you can't directly control anybody. For those of you who are unaware, Majesty is a real-time strategy game with something of a twist. However, I can also this simply being an issue that was overlooked (it would make more strategic sense for the ballista to simply fire at targets that are further away rather than wasting a shot and just hitting the wall).Ahh, Majesty.
#Kingdom new lands ballista builder upgrade#
I can see this being a design choice where players would have to decide between more defense (fully upgraded walls) or more offense (2nd highest wall upgrade with ballista). I'm curious as to whether or not this was a design choice, or just something overlooked. I've noticed that in the Kingdom: New Lands trailer (around 1:18) ballista towers can aim at greed that are directly up against your 2nd to highest upgraded walls (assuming it's right next to the wall, I'm assuming your tower would end up shooting the wall if it were further back).īallistas + fully upgraded walls = shots hitting your walls.īallistas + 2nd highest wall upgrade = Ballistas being able to aim at closer enemies (assuming the tower is right up next to the wall). This is true even when the ballista aims at breeders (who's heads peak above the walls, but the ballista workers insist on aiming at their bodies).
To be specific, They kept hitting my fully upgraded walls (disregarding the first shot when the enemy is further back). So I've noticed that ballista towers are often hitting my walls with their shots rather than hitting greed spawn.
