Masters of the Broken World - Interview #2 @ GameBanshee

There's a second part to GameBanshee's Masters of the Broken World interview now available:

GB: How many heroes will we be able to build during a typical play-through and how will they ascend in power throughout the game?

Vladimir: The number of heroes on the single shard depends on the size of the map and on the individual playing style. On the tiny shard sometimes hiring a single hero could be enough, on the large one player probably will need to hire all 4 different classes of heroes. The maximum number of heroes on the single shard is 8 and this number could be reached only in rare cases, when the war is going into the trenches.

While progressing in levels, heroes learn new abilities, available for their class. On the level 10 player could choose a second specialization for the hero. For instance, a Warrior could become a Dark Knight if player chooses to add mage specialization as a second class, or he can stay on the same path, becoming Berserk. Each class have it’s own unique name and a set of perks. Another set of even more powerful class-depending perks is available for heroes of 20 lvl.
