How big will the new story line be?

It's a bit early to compare the exact time of gameplay, but from what I know, it should be much longer the Crossworlds. Mamybe smth like AR. But definitely it's going to be a very interesting and long campaign

Thanks Nike. I really prefered KB-L campaign to KB-AP campaign (even though game play was a bit improved in AP). This sounds like it might be more along the lines of KB-L.

AP has a lot more replay value though as it's not as much of a grind. A mixture of the two would be great. Game play is mucher greater in AP imo. Much more tactical with the achievements and even the skill trees

I'm glad it's not an engine overhaul or something like that.

I really hope for a solid, comprehensive user-side editor and random map generation though.

I think KB would go down in history as the greatest of the turn-based heroic fantasy genre if only it gets something as good as the Age of Wonders 2 map/campaign design tools. The community would seriously get large fast and it would stick around forever.

The problem with these campaigns is they wear thin in time ... one always wants for more "map" content. It seems natural to allow users to make that content, and then there will be all the more excitement in official content because there is a healthy community. Also official expansions can provide larger modifications, item sets, units, etc. from the people who know what they are doing, which could be applied in a modular fashion.

Story?? I'd gladly sacrifice story for the addition of ~1million more battles!

Hm . . . 1000000 more battles, i think we`ll need more lvl`s for medals. 1 mill battles, first 10 rounds are counted for spell cast medals , so last lvl for fire mage should be around 5000000 castings fire_arrow/fireball/shroud and reward +1000mana , or blind rage medal 50th lvl you get after spending 1billion rage in battles and reward is 100% crit, and +50%dmg for all rage spells . . .

I hope the medals change. The medals to cast a few specific spells at the first 10 rounds are terrible boring. Casting spells that i don´t need and run away from enemies to finish at the 10th round to cast the last spell is fun at the first playround, but i have played the game over 50 times from beginning to the end and it is really boring.

Medals that come with good playing (like the no loss medal) are perfect, but most of the medals are terrible grinding.
