Not to mention that those `NEW` undead lizardmen are just copy/paste units from Red sands mod for CW.
NEW locations, as in they opened whole Demonis as in original game the Legend.
NEW unit creature skill system, also taken from red sands mod.
As far as I can see, only new thing here are cold elves (same models as old elves, with different talents of course), and maybe couple items/quests.
All in all done by 3-4 people over new year holidays for easy gold coins inflow from fans of this great franchise.
But if my predictions are true, this could easily be last time they take money from true KB players, and lose all future purchases

Seriously? They copied a mod made by the fans, using the skins, too?

Btw, the new Snow Elves are terribly uninspired. Not even great new skins, like the Fauns or Paladins were in AP - they are simple palette swaps! Or just a change of the hues, like for the elf archer - seriously, he wears slightly more blue clothing, but even the pattern is the same! They couldn't even give snow elves a different skin tone? I could have made (and did make!) better new skins within less than a day using Photoshop!!!

The russian site has more screens up: http://kingsbounty.ru/gallery/screens

Undead beholders, even? And a blue Phoenix? Not really inspired. Frankly, from WOTN the only new unit I found interesting and well-designed was the Ice Dragon and its cute "babies".

Yeah, we're all long time fans of the series here, but I think that if 1C think we're going to pay for more copypasta then they may be in for a surprise.

Warriors of The North seems to be a copy of the KB landscape with a few tweaks, new quests and such to hide those facts from you.
What I hope is that we will see new landscape; having to go through the exact same maps as before is getting very boring (and has no much replay value).
Plus, a working editor would be nice (the current one keeps crashing, half of the things have not been translated or unavailable as a whole compared to the Russian release).

As everybody said, this is just copy-paste disappointment. But I am not gonna lie, I haven't bought a single game in my life. I simply have no money to spend on virtual things.
But, if 1C Company managed to make NEW Kings Bounty that would be as good as The Armoured Princess (completly new world, and so on) and that would be cross-platform (would work on Linux natively), I would definitely buy it.
