Hello everyone!

Today, I discovered through another Steam Group, a new website called "Gamedecider", which is a social network for Gamers!

It pretty much is the same as facebook, with things like comments, likes, videos and photos (or screenshots, in this case). It also seems to be very recent, but looks quite promising.

I suggest you all go and take a look at: http://www.gamedecider.com

Have fun ;)

NEW YORK, January 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Paradox Interactive and Neocore Games today announced that development for King Arthur II is underway. Critically praised by reviewers and gamers alike, King Arthur was received as one of the biggest surprises to emerge on the gaming scene in 2009. The Fantasy/Role-playing RTS returns in a sequel set to push the boundaries of the genre even further.

King Arthur II will feature a new and dark fantasy setting. No longer a valiant ruler, King Arthur is now the Maimed King trying to mend a land almost beyond repair in a stunning new plot. More heroic, large scale battles with bigger armies are at reach to defeat more powerful foes. Intense boss fights never seen before promise to pit hero’s forces against unique and terrifying enemies. A new wide range of camera control options, revised animations and an extensive tutorial will provide for the ultimate gaming experience.

"We are excited to begin King Arthur II with the Paradox publishing team," said Zoltán Pozsonyi, Producer of King Arthur II for Neocore. "We have every intention of testing the limits in the sequel. With an extraordinary new plot and insane new battles, our community’s expectations will be blown away."

"We couldn’t be more thrilled to add King Arthur II to our lineup of exceptional upcoming titles. From the early development that has taken place, we know this newest title will more than live up to its predecessor," said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive.

"Hi Everyone,

We're very sorry that we were so cheap on communication lately, but we had a lot of work to do with the Saxon expansion. As you already noticed for sure, we had another delay, but that's only because we'd like to fix the bugs and release a polished game for you to play. At the moment we are evaluating the most appropriate release date with our partners, so now it's really coming soon :)

Soon a press release will be spread out for the media as well with some screenshots, so keep your eyes open in the next few days.

Till then, here are some extra screens, only for our devoted forum community. :) Enjoy."

Quoted directly from the official forums:

"In the next expansion of King Arthur you’ll be able to conquer Britannia as the ruler of the Saxon Empire. One of the most important differences from the base game is the sandbox gameplay mode. The options are adjustable: after choosing from the various Victory Conditions, setting the AI aggression and the power of magic you can start your own customized campaign. This time only the Victory Conditions (among the Objectives) will have to be accomplished in order to win the game, but other numerous Objectives can help you achieve your goals.

As you might have already heard, this expansion includes a complex diplomacy system based on reputation. Depending on the nature of the relationship you can make diplomatic offers to the different rulers, trade with them or arrange that they declare war on each other. You’ll be able to deal with heroes or princesses as well who might join your court later if you had a fair relationship with them. When you deal with special groups – like the Sidhe, the Guild of the Outlaws, the Marauders and the Bishop’s Council – there’ll be some unique actions you can perform if you were able to reach a higher level of reputation. E.g. you can hire the guys from the Guild of the Outlaws to poison the enemy army’s supplies, pay a nice amount of gold for the Marauders to harass the enemy territory or “simply” call for a Crusade with help of the Bishop’s Council.
We added – among many others – a huge amount of artifacts and artifact-sets, lots of new battle quests, brand new unit types (like the Guardians) and new heroes, e.g. knights of the never seen order: the Champions of Beowulf.

Along with the expansions (Saxon and Welsh) we are still working hard on the base game. We’re trying to replicate that crashing issue some of you are still experiencing.
Hereby we’d like to take the opportunity to say a big Thank you! to all of you who have reported bugs here or via support mail. We really appreciate it, you guys are a great help for us in improving this game.

Some of you were also very interested in the release date of the Saxon expansion. Well, we already sorted out big bugs and technical issues, but it still needs some polishing. If we don’t encounter other unforeseen difficulties the Saxon expansion will definitely come out next month.
Till that we’ll be back to you with many info, arts and screens."
