The scenarios play out as a drive to make it back to the throne with the assistance of the monsters that used to be your archenemies. You proceed through the saga in linear steps, completing one mission before unlocking the next one. Virtually all of the content comes in the new single-player campaign, which is structured similarly to those in the previous Majesty 2 games. This alone makes the campaign a more enjoyable romp than those in previous Majesty 2 releases. Before, your troops often seemed to be goldbricking so much that you started to think they'd gone and joined a union. When your buildings are being demolished by rampaging giant spiders, for instance, defenders are always there to help. Monsters also seem to be handier when you need them, especially for defense tasks. But the wait never drags out so long that you want to put out an APB. They still take their time, and will occasionally ignore vital goals as you jack up the attached reward to the point of depleting the treasury. Units here seem to hop to it faster than they did before, responding more quickly when you plop down flags. With that said, mechanics have been improved. But this also lends the game a certain aloofness because you feel a step removed from the action. Hands-off management makes you feel like a real ruler since you can only motivate subjects to do your bidding. As with the earlier games in the franchise, this is good and bad. Offer enough gold as a bounty, and the unwashed masses will leap to your aid. Instead, you place flags offering rewards to units that explore the map, attack enemy lairs, and defend structures. Although you order up buildings and units like in a typical real-time strategy game, you never have direct control over troops. You still play as an anonymous monarch being advised by a toady, and control remains one step removed from you. The heart of the gameplay has been carried over intact to Monster Kingdom. Ratmen allies, goblin pals, vampire tax collectors-this isn't the familiar old Ardania!Įverything should be familiar to veterans of Majesty 2 and its Kingmaker and Battles of Ardania expansions. This isn't going to turn around non-fans or spark those who have gotten bored with the series, but the inventive premise and somewhat scaled-down difficulty result in a game that's a step above its lackluster and brutally hard predecessors, and also offers a number of core gameplay enhancements that make the campaign more playable. While the gameplay formula remains focused on managing a fantasy kingdom by decree, everything is freshened up because you can boss around creepy ratmen and liches instead of the heroes of the earlier games. Scrambling to get back to power requires cozying up to the creatures that you spent most of your time killing in the previous entries in this franchise, which gives this add-on a different vibe from its predecessors. Monster Kingdom, the third expansion for the real-time king simulation Majesty 2, sees your titular character booted off the throne and sent into exile with just his sidekick for company. i do wizard guild FFAAAAR away from castle, ant take their Towers to defend my kingdom x.x. Originally posted by Daniel.Drache:I've completed the game when it first came out & thought I'd give it another jam. The issue was needing to turn v sync on & off otherwise the rat king would spawn repeatedly to fast I tried the youtube video in the guides section - Doesn't work as the rats & undead focus on the peasants rather than the towers so I have 1/4 built towers & every time a peasant swamps the rats stop attacking the tower & kill the peasant. I've also tried instantly pausing the game, slowing it down, placing the guild between pauses Ranger, rouge & tower - same issue, none get built before they get swampedīuilding 2 ranger guilds 1 screen away & 2 towers near rat holes to draw swarms - peasants get killed before anything gets built. I've tried building 2 Rangers - 300 hitpoints built before they get swamed I get swamped with rats before any building can be built. I've read guides, youtube videos etc (Most use the 5x bug that's been fixed) I've played all the missions & now I have to complete Mortal Foibles of Kings (Rat King Mission) before I can do the rest. I've completed the game when it first came out & thought I'd give it another jam.
