Armored? Armoured? That princess doesn't seem to be either very much. Misnomer or bad translation?
little backer that could

Definitely an add on I will buy - I love the game. I just hope they added useful functions like quest markers or more detailed maps. Looking for NPCs is still a bit of a pain in the neck.

Actually, there's the play of words which is lost in translation.
The Russian title is "Princessa v dospehah" which is similiar to "Prizrak v dospehah", the Russian name for "Ghost in the Shell" anime.
And it shares some common motives: the fragile girl fighting all alone, etc.
There's a lot of such puns in King's Bounty, as well as in Space Rangers (the previous game from this studio), but most of them are lost in US version, unfortunately.

Seriously? I somehow fail to see any similarities b/n an Armoured Princess and Ghost in the Shell. Especially since GitS is not about a frail girl fighting alone as far as I'm aware.
Leaving that it does seem like a good add on or whatever it is, since little seems to be changing. Though I'm more interested whether it's standalone or indeed requires the previous one.

I fail to see how the title will have anything to do with how good the game itself is.

There are indeed a few Add-Ons out there which don't require the main game, like AOW: SM, for example.
And about Ghost in the Shell ? I thought this was only a movie ? I wouldn't care about it anyway, since it is not fantasy-based …

So it's not a coincidence.
