Experienced Clan warriors who have managed to survive their first battles often don the armor of vanquished foes, increasing their defense and turning them into heavy infantry units.
The fiercest warriors of the Clansmen become berserkers, who can gain magical abilities and go into a frenzy, slaying even the largest of opponents with wild abandon.
We announced the game last week, and we were overwhelmed to see such a great reception! Lots of people wishlisted the game and applied to the Beta. We have also seen a lot of articles popping up on all major gaming sites, like PC Gamer, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, Gamewatcher and more.
We are really happy to see a lot of interest about the game, and we are looking forward to telling you more of it. As we already announced yesterday, Tuesdays and Fridays will be the days of our weekly Units Focus, and every day we'll take a look at a couple of units. Wednesdays are also going to be very important days for Fantasy General II! On Wednesdays we are going to give you updates & news about the development, and we're also planning to post a series of Dev Diaries to tell you and show you more of the gameplay, starting next week.
In other news, Beta has started, and the first lucky testers have been picked and they are already trying the game and giving us useful feedback. We read some concerns about Minimum requirements. Those are not set in stone: optimization hasn't been completed yet, and we wanted to receive some good feedback from our testers. Plenty of people have been testing Fantasy General II on Windows 7 on the past few days, so we're glad to announce Windows 7 will be officially supported.
We are going to start posting about the units included in the game, twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. There are over 75 unique unit types and we intend to cover them all, so this is going to be a regular thing for a while.
The Barbarian Clans field both male and female warriors with different equipment and abilities. The Clans Younglings are wild warriors, adapt charging the enemy in an ambush, while the Maiden’s spears serve to break charges from other Clan younglings, cavalry or wild animals.
As we get ready to show you more and more of the game, we'd like to establish a more direct relationship between the development team of Owned By Gravity and all you fans who are waiting for Fantasy General II.
For that reason we are opening a new Fantasy General II Discord server! The devs are in it, and we will be notifying you anytime we post anything about the game. It'll be the perfect place to speak with the devs and with the community.
We will also be running some contests, and in the Discord server you'll be the first to know! By winning, you will be part of Fantasy General II's future, but let's not speak of that, yet.
