Awfully tempting, but it's hard to say how much work has been put into it when even the Steam photos looks like really old pics with placeholder names, German language, etc.

german RoA fanbase who works as beta tester seems to be confident and proud of what they have see so far, even about the "ruleset" changes
Another, not direct but indirect change to the rules is with traveling by ship (of course only applicable to Blade of Destiny): In the original, you had to wait for the flood on the next day if you booked a ship passage (going out at about 9 in the morning), or you could have no ships in the harbor for days at a time, which was specifically bad in Kord, where you could only leave by harbor AND which was badly frequented with ships. This is superrealistic, but was in our eyes also superboring and could even give players a "stuck" feeling. So now you can leave by ship any time, day and night, and only the *type* of passage and its cost is different.

But are the occasional ships which take 150 days to bring you from Prem to northwestern villages still around? :lol:

Since I've never played the original, I'm leaning toward purchasing the remake.

Looks great - I'll probably wait for the GOG version, but it's very likely I'll be picking this up eventually. :)
