Tried searching for a topic for this, didn't find any, so...

The next installment of the fan-favorite fantasy tactical/RPG hybrid is scheduled for release on 26.10.2012.

Official site: http://www.1cpublishing.eu/news/king-s-bounty-warriors-of-the-north-release-date-announced-pre-order-available

Personally, this is my most anticipated game of the month. I'm hoping for a scene release before Friday Smile

I was so disappointed when Crossroads turned out to be an expansion, so this is great.

Well, it's due out today but in the old days, some games were cracked before they were officially released. *sigh* Sad

The best thing about the King's Bounty series is that the AI doesn't cheat by camping the shit out of their castles and constantly building up an unbeatable army if you don't get to them within 6 days... cough.

Agree with both Smile And the difficulty settings are there to make the game just as challenging you want it to be...

I had a lot of fun with The Legend (which is the only KB that I've ever played), hope they keep the core gameplay intact without any undesired dumbification, but I think we're safe from this point of view.

couldn't agree more. Plus they've ruined the new HoMM games with constant, ugly and poorly voice acted cut scenes.

So anyone have a chance to try this yet?

Tried it last night, it is exactly more of the same.. which is great. There are a few new additions though, the class unique abilities are nice. The music is much higher quality i've noticed as well.

It could use a lot of polish though, i noticed a lot of typos so far Razz

so, apparently there is a game breaking bug with Skald buffs (not the class but the unit)

been playing smoothly until the first time i encountered skald units in an enemys army.
they use buffs on other units which crash the game, cant continue playing untill its fixed.

so they released a fix for that through steam, gotta wait for a release of our own Smile

Yeah, it's more of the same. Not a bad thing. I did prefer to watch the fine lady in the hero screen rather than this dude, haha.

Shame they recycled 90% of the music from the last game. It's still excellent, but so are the few new songs they have and I would've liked more of them.

Just noticed this bug, need a fix pronto.

Maybe they left it there on purpose ?? Smile

Always liked the music in these games but the new songs is so/so imo, they are kinda good but does have a different feel to them, maybe a new composer. But yes a few more would have been nice!

Edit: A fuck now it crashed and there where no skalds in the battle, argh.

Ok i looked around at the steam forum and it seems there are lots of crashing issues.

Some really game braking where you cant kill a certain enemy without the game crashing.

This is very disappointing, none of the other King's Bounty games had anything near this amount of bugs, its not just the crashes its lots of spells and stuff that don't work as intended.

It seems they are trying to fix the trillions of bugs as fast as they can but they seem to release a major updates every few days, but the really lol part is that you need to restart a new game for the changes to take effect...

That is really not acceptable.

To release a game that's in beta stage and then fix bugs day after day with patches, each requiring you to restart the game. I have played maybe 25+ hours and i read about people who have played more than double that, and then have to restart, epic fail Katauri/1C.

Last Hero fix - The spell would cause a hard crash any time the unit was attacked, or the spell wore off
In spells.lua, line 5093


I just got this suspicion when my game crashed twice in a row after using that!

Maybe i can play now, thx!

Yeah, Katauri always cleaned up their games pretty fast. Two, maybe three patches released after the launch (in maximum three months) and the game it's just fine.

Let's hope that the scene will crack this update as fast as the devs delivered.
