King Arthur - The Role Playing Wargame

[Burning Bridges]

Camelot freaks should keep an eye on this. I just watched the new dev diary video. Ok, the guy is talking big, but his game looks promising.
Good decision that they go for a turn based strategy / real time battle system like in Total War.
This has potential to become a really pretty blend of history/fantasy, at least I haven't seen the boner breaker so far.

cheese, bread and meat

and... is that an apple I see?

 

[Lyesmith]

Looks good.

Still didn't get around Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come, which plays on the same engine.
Anyway, I'm more after this tb/rt combination.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

Color me interested.

Unless the setting is real-middle ages-heavy, and the gameplay isn't a dumbed down HoM&M, this isn't worth playing.
And from the screens, I can tell the setting will feel something like the recent King's Bounty.

Saw a preview of it in a Dutch magazine and came away with mixed feelings. The graphics are purrdy and the TB part looks nice. The RT battles however sounded a lot like those in that last warhammer fantasy game and the inclusion of rpg aspects sounded a bit fishy. It would seem that in the end you will play a very linear goal driven campaign. We'll see.

Looks like a fantasy Total War ripoff

 

[sheek]

Looks horrible.

They should remake Kingmaker or Conqueror AD 1086 instead.

It actually looks pretty neat. Might be worth keeping an eye out for.

 

[Raapys]

Yeah, I'm definitely interested in this one.

 

[Morkar Left]

Looks interesting. I hope the overland-map strategy-part isn´t too lightweight. The rpg elements are interesting.

The lightning bolt strike on the hillside for some unknown reason made me think of Bungie's Myth : )

 

[CarnivalBizarre]

That looked really good. Might be boring as hell, but it sure looked good!

I'm probably missing something, but isn't this just total war in a different setting?

You're missing the knights of the round table, the C&C quests, the ahh pee gee and the magic. Just watch the fucking video.

It is still very close to total war. also reminds of an old King arthur game I used to play.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

Actually it's closer to Warlords, or Master of Magic.

teh strategic map and the real time battles are very close to total war. Warlords really is much simpler. MoM just wins on the magic part. almost a bit strange they have so much magic ina Arthur setting considering magic users didnt sit on every street corner there.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

For the last time, watch the fucking video. Quests and dungeons on the fucking strategic map is nothing like Total War.

i watched the video. Added features doesn't make it dissimilar to total war. Just like how MoM is similar to civilization. do you have some irrational hate for total war when you must distinguish it from it.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

Total War rules. A Fantasy spin off of that with some lite RPG elements would also be cool. Where's the problem?

 

[Luzur]

Lords of the Realm 2 was kinda rad.

Okay, okay, I get it, you never played MoM or Warlords, so you'd rather use the "It's like Total War... with quests and magic!" comparision. This is the new shit, after all.

Apart from MoM and Warlords it also looks remarkably like Age of Wonders with a real time component.
