Official Trailer and Website Go Live

[BluePhoenix]

Waiting for the game eagerly. I'm especially excited about the new medals.

Love the new website. BUT I noticed a slight flaw. The Skald (which is obviously Paladin) has the Mage icon, and the Soothsayer (which is obviously Mage) has the Paladin icon. Is this intentional or just a website design overlook? I'm kind of OCD about these stuff.

If you are looking for other improvements then the text for the medals could do with updating, eg,

Holy Warrior. This medal is reserved for those of the Skald class. The vocation of a pious paladin is to bring healing to the wounded and relief to the suffering, in the name of the all-bountiful Light. While virtue is its own reward, the compassionate paladin who uses the spells of Healing and Blessings on his troops finds his good deeds recognized by the bestowal of the Holy Warrior medal. This talisman increases the damage of the Paladin’s Priests and Inquisitors.

It keeps talking about a Paladin instead of a Skald, also I didn't realise Skald's were holy warriors, do they realy worship the all-bountiful Light? The Skald's description mentions the god's ressurect their troops but that is about it.

The Skald, first and foremost, is a skilled leader who knows how to command large armies. While Vikings excel in Rage and power, the Skald gains in numerical superiority and morale. This leader inspires his troops before the battle, singing the Chant (using the unique ability ‘Edda’), and the gods resurrect a portion of his fallen warriors after each battle (through the unique ability ‘Warriors of Valhalla’). He gains leadership faster than anyone else, and in battle, he strengthens, cures, and resurrects his warriors using magic. He is skilled in abilities of the Mind.

Daniel.

ironfelix: Thank you for the info. I have a few questions:
1. Are there new bosses or the old, or not at all? If there are, how many?
2. Can you tell us anything about game length? roughly as long as Armored Princess? much longer, much shorter?
3. I've read something about "The ability to forge new items". Can you be more specific?
4. Can we expect surprises? I don't know, something different and exciting.

Thank you and I can't wait for this game.

1) There will be a couple of new bosses.
2) The game should offer 60+ hours of gameplay
3) Yes, there is a special ability that allows you to create new items
4) There will be surprises

Thanks for the update Nike-it!

The more I read those anwsers, the more I want to play!


Some questions from my side:

In both trailers it seems, that emeny heroes are standing beside the battle area, is that correct? And will there be new objects in the battle areas (e.g. campfire)?

The most interesting question for me is if there will be additional slots for items, as there are no armor-bearers like in TL (wifes) and AP/CW (compagnions)? It seems to me that most of the items will be there to "feed" the valkyries which would be a pity in my opinion. Are there still item sets which will give Olaf a bonus or will the valkyries give Olaf the boni of the items sacrificed to them?

Do you have any news if the editor is implemented or an updated version can be found with WOTN?

Best regards

J.B.

Yes, some enemy armies has commanders, who, like Olaf, are present at the battlefield. Unlike Olaf those commanders can only cast spells and show their emotions.

There are no additional slots for items. Sadly, Valkiries don't transfer bonuses of items sacrificed to them by Olaf.

As for the editor - the game will feature the same one as CW.

Thanks a lot for these anwsers! Regarding the Commanders and the Editor this sounds very good so far.

So the (old) editor from CW can be used for WOTN! Ok, but will it be implemented in WOTN for those who did not have AP/CW or not?

Kind regards
