Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim Preview

Tacticular Cancer has whipped up a preview of Paradox’s Majesty 2 after spending some firsthand time with a beta build of the strategy/RPG.

The campaign in this game consists of about a dozen of missions with increasing difficulty and varying themes. Even though most of the missions boil down to “kill every monster on the map”, they all have very different themes which require considerably different approaches. One of the last missions for example consists of clearing a map full of vampire lairs. Since vampires are undead and very dangerous for low-level heroes, a single one could defeat the player early on. The only possible solution for this mission turned out to build several cleric temples and avoid any other type of heroes until the late stages of the game. Another mission had a virtually invulnerable dragon coming to your kingdom from time to time to destroy a building. Here it was important to notice the typical route of the dragon and place some cheap buildings in his path for him to destroy.
