People still play this!!

[Frog Bite]

it's good to see that i'm not the only person who still plays this game

That was actually Venn Fairweather, not Sean Connery speaking.

[noodle]

that's the joke, he sounds like a sean connery impressionist dude

[Dorgath]

Wasn't sure, throughout the years (jncluding when it was initially released) some people actually have asked and thought that he did the voice.

[cussingeorge]

No, it wasn't Sean Connery who did the voice for Majesty's Royal Advisor..
It was me, George Ledoux. It's so cool that people are still playing this game!
I just got the HD version here on Steam. I was gifted a copy of the game by Time Warriors a YouTuber group who has been running a "let's play" of Majesty for the past couple of months. Here's their link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyvUYVjNXj8&list=PL9cR63PgdMh0xZar1zVDxs1qHQ8RjP4iS

Ha, I used your in-game name because I forgot your real one :rolleyes: Lester probably could have hooked you up with a copy of HD...

This game rules. Too bad the sequel wasn't as good. Hopefully Paradox will make Majesty 3 that captures the spirit of the original.

People hate the changes from Majesty 1 and Majesty 2, and then complain about the differences. From what I see here, if there is a Majesty 3 no classic player will like it because it changed too much from the previous; as is essentially stated through this thread.

Classics will remain classics whether or not you like the sequels; treat them as new takes on an old game and you will not be disappointed.

Highly doubtful. If they wanted the original spirit, they would have done it with Maj2.

Sure, if you want the more traditional RTS approach. But in that case, give it a new name (kinda how there's turn-based Warlords and RTS Warlords Battlecry), rather than Maj2.

Would be cool to see a Majesty with awesome graphics, though. It's true that Majesty 2 plays differently, but I still think it's fair to call it a sequel. It still has your classic characters (wizard, dwarves, paladins, etc) and a lot of the buildings are the same too. I actually quite enjoyed Majesty 2, it was definitely harder than the first too (at least the expansions were).

You are right though, the feel is certainly different, but as I stated above, I treated it as a new experience in it's own right and I wasn't disappointed with Majesty 2 :)

[Dorgath]

Hmm. I guess we could get into a (long?) discussion of what may constitute a sequel :) For me, Maj2 took elements from Maj1 but since the whole premise of Maj1 was the "kingdom building sim" gameplay, which Maj2 really went away from, it doesn't really qualify as a sequel, to me. Obviously, mileage may differ from person to person.

What about we stop talking and go play this game in Multipleyer mode? :p

[Dorgath]

I gots no time...

[Frog Bite]

[crassus1117]

[Yuri2br]

Ok! All we need to do is install Tunngle and enter in Majesty room :) When you want to play, just speak to me in the chat.
