Not sure if I'll get this at release, but I'll be interested in hearing feedback about it. I played the hell out of the first KB when I was a kid.

For those who aren't aware, this is a sequel to the original 1990 King's Bounty not King's Bounty: The Legend.

I like what I see. Will check it out for sure. May it be ready when it is ready, though. I have lost trusting any release dates. They'll get delayed anyway.

My only concern is that the stacks of human units might be indistinguishable from each-other. That was the problem with Age of Wonders III which ruined the tactical combat for me. No wonder the devs all played out the combat with auto-resolve. It does look alright in the video, so we'll see.

Nice! Putting it on my wishlist. I always regretted never having played the original game that I heard so much positive about. I did play all of the HOMM series up to HOMM V and "KB: The Legend" so this will be a nice return to that style of gameplay.

They address that right in the video, which says they'll each have slightly different details.
