And here’s the press release:

Your throne awaits! Again!!
Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania expansion released today along with brand new release trailer
NEW YORK 10th November, 2010 You overcame the minions of villainy in Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim! You kicked the butt of Lord Blackviper and his army of evil goblins in the first expansion Majesty 2: Kingmaker!!
Now, the ultimate challenge awaits (well, until the next expansion anyway) as Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania has released today, alongside a spanking new trailer.
The world of Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania is a rich and vibrant one, with many a wondrous adventure awaiting the fearless adventurer, the threat of danger lurking around every corner!
(Can’t you tell with all these exclamation marks?! Danger!! Adventure!!!)
(Majesty is one of my all-time favorites,) noted Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. (We always hear game execs talk about how excited they are about a game releasing from their studio, but I can honestly say that I’m thrilled to have Battles of Ardania releasing. I needed more Majesty in my life and this expansion provides that.)
Developed by Ino-co, Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania introduces a brand new single-player campaign (Heirs of the Night) where players must protect their borders from a mysterious mage-werewolf (in a top hat!) and his creatures of the night across eight missions. The expansion also introduces several new monsters, four new multiplayer maps including two co-operative missions and new weapon sets. Partake in the magical adventures found in Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania and prepare for the fact that your heroes will be quick to flee if they dont feel you are rewarding their heroic exploits accordingly, leaving those brave souls that are willing to stand and fight often overpowered and left to meet a glorious end!
The expansion Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania is now exclusively available via digital download for a suggested retail price of $14.99, â‚¬14.99 and £9.99 on all leading digital distribution platforms. Please note that the original game is required to play Battles of Ardania.
About Majesty 2
In the world of Majesty 2, you are the ruler of the kingdom of Ardania. At your service are your loyal and somewhat obnoxious subordinates who have their own minds about how things should be done. Majesty 2 is a unique real-time strategy game with indirect control where your heroes decide on their own what should be done and when, leaving you to try to control them through monetary incentives.
