Wow the demo is really good. Graphics and animations are very clean and it plays just like the original!
Awesome, it really feels like the original. But I hate the mission in the demo, I start with two dragon nests near my castle, then when I manage to destroy one nest it spawns 5 dragons and I'm fucked. Oh well, going to try again soon, guess I'll wait untill I have more heroes before destroying them.
Also I hope that in the final game we will have something like random maps or at least a "custom game" option.
Yeah I'm getting my ass handed to me by two ogres T_T

I really didn't see the difficulty coming either. I ended up having six ogres pounding on my city of inns. I ended up restarting, building three guard towers around the snake pits, and fixing most of my problems.

And addictive

Majesty really needs a map editor.
Yeah the mission is impossible (it really is, you are meant to be defeated, you should just try to hold out as long as possible). I got to around 40 "time units" (I don't know what they are, they may be minutes but I was playing at 5x so I don't know) on that one, it looked like I was going to hold out untill 5+ dragons, 4 ogres and countless skeletons (and a few liches) arrived.
So yeah it's a bit dissappointing as a demo mission since you aren't meant to hold out for long. Still the game is awesome.
How'd I do?

Looks like it's gonna be on the 360, but I'm just getting it for pc.
Got 49 days in the Survival map, hard to defend against 7 trolls on one side and undead and dragons coming in from the others.
That Demo for majesty 2 wasn't released by paradox...

It was leaked over at SA.
New download link since the other one was hosted by some guy whos bandwith got raped

Also, guys, the mission isn't impossible. 75 days.
The bearmen were the fuckers that destroyed me the first time because I didn't see anything coming from their lairs so I didn't pay them any mind.
Just as I was destroying the last ogre lair, 6 fucking bearmen and a shit ton of serpents come and steam roll my ass just as I was beginning to hurt economically.
It was so fun though.
Preordered and am going through the original game now.
God damn bearmen.
I beat the survival map after a couple tries.
My strategy:
1. Build warrior/cleric guild on the west side of the castle (where the bearmen come from)
2. Build rogue guild on the east side
3. Ranger guild on the south/southeast side
4. Market on the north side
5. Now for towers: make 3 on the road where the ogres come from (southwest side of the castle), then 1 on each other road that leads away from the castle
6. Blacksmith near the market, get all the gear from it
7. Upgrade the guilds and get the abilities
8. Palace level 2
9. Get the next level of blacksmith gear
10. Palace level 3
11. Dwarf guild wherever
12. Make a dwarf tower or two wherever the bearmen are attacking
13. If you think you need it, add more dwarf towers at any other problem areas
14. If you haven't won by now, build a Krypta temple to the north: the necromancer chicks are godlike
Flag any monster lairs/ogres/bearmen you see as you go.
Here's an important lesson: two of each flavor of guild, except wizard and rogue.

Not necessary in the survival map, but I'm sure it will be in real quests. Wizard armies ftw.
Also, I find the lack of gnomes... disturbing.
I was kind of sketchy about the art style they were going to use but once I played I have to say that it's just brilliant. Graphics and GUI are really clean and the animations are nice and fluid. I think this is a buy for me.

Wizards aren't useful late in the game (as in 10 days and after) which means if you build a guild, you can usually only keep one running. And they're too expensive to keep training and reviving. Rogues are just terrible.
I've played Majesty (Original).... Since Third Grade. :dance:
By the way what do you guys think of my avatar?
My only qualms about this game is that the Guards/Heroes can't be controlled, therefore sometimes they just leave monsters alone while they burn your village down, or there is a great battle in a field waiting to happen, but you just can't move them there.
Rogues most certainly are not useless. They have a stun and get extra money for you. I just got through a game with 2 wizards, and they kick ass if you get them past level 10 and get the firestorm spell.

I suggest finding a different game, then.

What? That seems opposite to what it was in the first one. In the first game wizards were weak as hell early on but basically became invincible late game. That's IF you managed to get their lazy asses outside of thier wizard towers. And they truthfully couldn't do much damage to beasts that had strong magic resistance, which pretty much were only boss/rare creatures IIRC. Plus wizard towers gave you the best spells you could cast around your kingdom! :3:
I need cheats in this game, if this game don't have any cheats, it's a piece of shit to me... game too fucking hard right now.
There are cheats, but it's just not released yet. Nobody can get the cheats yet.

In Majesty 2, by the time you'll be buying a second Wizard's Guild there's no point because all your other heroes are at least level 15. I mean, I guess you could buy them but it's 300G each and they'll die quickly without help. And Wizard Towers need to be activated for money, which sucks.
Wizards stop dying after they get magic shield at like level 5 and armor from the blacksmith. If you can get all the spells for them they can pump damage out pretty well.
You could always try starting with wizards, too.
Alright fine. Tomorrow I'll try starting off with a bunch of Wizards and maybe some Rogues.
