Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Preview

Ten Ton Hammer has put together another preview of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, after checking out the game’s siege warfare component at this year’s Leipzig Games Convention.

Now for the exciting new stuff! Jørgen was quick to point out that the code isn’t totally stable yet, but they were stoked to show us the first glimpse at Player versus Player (PvP) Siege Warfare. In this area of the game, player guilds will be able to construct settlements using a variety of harvested resources, and fight it out amongst other players and guilds for supremacy. We saw a large keep structure, with a surrounding wall, that Erling and Jørgen were assaulting using an army of about 200 game-generated NPCs. Some of them were seated upon what we will eventually see as player mounts – a mammoth, and a sweet-looking rhinoceros!
