Digging out an old thread => the
German addon to Spellforce: "Breath of Winter" is out. I guess, it won't take long until you English gamers will be able to play it.
Changes =>
- So far no towers <triple-sniff>
- you start from scratch, no transfer of your old char possible <quadruple-sniff>
- changes of the patch 1.1 are included => a nifty "sort" button for your items e.g. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
- you have all worker runes in level 1 and can get the higher ones later on => traders!
- you have all plans including the houses you have to build requiring a small chieftain's house (don't know the English name for this, hope you understand what I mean). Everything dealing with a middle sized chieftain's house has to be searched (I think... I'm not through yet. But I got a mission where I have a hunch, this could be the case)
- you have 2 NPC at the start to aid you in your first missions. You can't steer them, they fight as they wish, but are immortal. If their health is low, enemies cease to attack them.
- check out traders for hero runes. You will have to retrieve 2 heroes as part of the main quest, so you can start of pretty quickly with aid.
- on some maps you get troops to help you, you can steer them
- in some cases you take over an abandoned camp and therefore simply fill these houses, instead of activating a worker monument and starting from scratch.
- quests reach over several maps, so you have to return to some.
- quests are a matter of taste, but I liked them => Plot twists!
- by finding certain items, you can get a certain NPC to bind them to an empty hero rune => so far an imp, an elf, an Iron soldier and the stronger one => I don't know how they are called in English. These Iron soldiers with a tail => Blade-Weaver? (Klingenweber in German)
- there is a "free game button" - but I don't know if these are maps without a main mission for single or only for multi-player
- hmm, njamnjam - I love the music <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
- the only "bugs" I encountered so far => sometimes sound and music are gone, don't know if this is because of my system or using the quickload function. But if I exit the game and restart => everything is back again.
- ah, yes... this bitchy mouse control. Don't know how often I lost track of my troops, because my mouse was too fast.
Hm, as I'm playing it for the first time now => using the RPG approach as a Necromancer (only Death magic, all 3 paths) - it's difficult for me. But.. I'm hooked on it, in spite of dying a lot.
Please, tell me, if my summary gives away spoilers spoiling your fun. I can only recommend this add-on. And I love dealing with ice elves. If anyone wishes a short summary what this add-on is about => just say "peep".
