I want good game tomorrow
No i want it yesterday
But seriously now AP released 2,5 years ago , CW 1,5 years and it didnt contain anything new in game look/graphic. Only designer change were couple orc units animations for skill they got, even `new` spells were transferred form original tL from rage spirits and placed in spell book. So i cant say they invested lots of time in CW in work time, more energy went to thinking what to change in expansion. Most of CW were dont in .txt/.lua files so i dont think it took big team of programers for actual work on it.
Now for WotN we saw some screenshots and they changed lots in graphical part : new locations (scandinavian type world i`m guessing), new unit models, new runic magic (no more rage spirits/pet dragon). But game mechanic is same (medals, functioning of items/scrolls and such), skills/abilities. In core they didnt change graphic engine, just took old dress from Amelie and placed it on our new friend Olaf. You cant tell me this is NEW game, it looks allot like original theLegend. Comparing to Desciples 2-3 where everything is new, and HoMM 4-5 change is same(i mention this 2 games since they are both in same genre as KB). But in KB we have great game play, nice story, many tactics and still it look same since original TL from 4 years ago. That`s why i say i want this expansion yesterday just to see what did they made for it to take 2,5 years since AP. When they announce whole new official KB2, i`ll be patient to see what will they do, but for KB-WotN (actually just a mod for KB-AP/CW) i say they took too long. Look at Red Sands mod, some ppl decided to try it and in less then 6 months gave use great mod with huge changes in game.
Did it really took 1C/Cataury 2,5 years to figure out that this is their market instead wasting time/gold on Royal Quest ?
