Are you the mitra from the 1C forums? I lurk there sometimes, I don't post.

Could you tell me a bit more about the gameplay experience of Blood of Europe? There isn't much information about the title in English. I know it adds 8 new missions, does it add or alter anything about the base XIIIth Century gameplay?

I played the original XIIIth Century a while ago. Not much as time and work interfered; what little I did play I enjoyed and I keep meaning to go back.

Yes I'm the same Mitra

Well, the principal differences between Death or Glory and Blood of Europe (a part the new campaign with 8 new battles) are:

- multiplayer lobby (over dedicated server) with ladder
- 3 new units for russian factions
- crossbowmen more stronger
- 2 more western factions and Lithuanian (and subgroup of russian, but we are waiting a ad hoc lithuanian unit now in testing phase)
- battlefield game modality (http://www.totalgamesitalia.com/xiii...scription.html)
- fog-of-war
- better graphic and light effects
- bigger map
- a casual map generator
- improved battle realism (see at example the horse archers tactics explication http://www.totalgamesitalia.com/xiii...rs-tactic.html )


If you enjoyed Death will be the same for Blood. The game played in multi against human player is great (you can see my videos, the others are in the same forum of that linked)

This is a different video type: I added annotations about the some game concepts when they happen in the replay. Enjoy it.

If there's a particular game you want to see a price drop on, Gamersgate has a new feature which allows you to set up a request for email notification when a game drops in price. It's a red button on the game's page. That gives a bit more chance to catch it if it does appear on the sale.

I've tagged Blood of Europe and King's Bounty: Armoured Princess with it. 1C has 39 individual titles listed on gamersgate, which means most of them should feature in the 24 day sale.

I picked the gold pack up. £9.99 for the expansion and a second copy of the main game is better than £19.99 for the expansion alone. I was intending to recommend the deal in the bargain thread but the org server was playing up and I couldn't get the thread to open. Gah!

Might hit the campaing trail today.

I take contact with also one of betatesters which will give answers about the battle mechanics questions in our forum; I have already asked something to him: at example the difference between the axe and the sword in battle: he tell me the axe kill\disable always when the hit is not parried, the sword is lesser lethal can only wound if the adversary have a good armour. but the axe is more slow respect the sword, so for each axe hit you will count 2 or 3 sword hits.
