Majesty 2 game review5/17/2023 ![]() The difficulty is by far the biggest boon of this expansion. ![]() Defensive structures provide protection from direct attacks on your town, which in Battles of Ardania happen way more than you can handle. Constructing guilds will let you employ the likes of archers, warriors, wizards, rogues and clerics, while economic buildings such as marketplaces and blacksmiths will keep a constant income flowing in, allowing you to purchase new spells, upgraded buildings and entice your units to carry out your given missions. While the Kingmaker expanded on the original storyline by adding a few new features, Battles of Ardania is just more of the same, without adding any new content besides new multiplayer maps. The indirect control of units which separates Majesty 2 from other RTS games makes a comeback, but by now, it all feels like familiar territory. After the former wars end, the King finds himself bored and wishes to start another war, causing him run into a powerful Werewolf-Mage who terrorizes the lands of Ardania and summons hordes of monsters to make things even more complicated. Majesty 2 has a tongue-in-cheek storyline that is always self-aware and presents itself in a comical style that never takes itself seriously. Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania continues the comical story and keeps the gameplay intact, but hardly expands the game enough to warrant yet another skirmish in the lands of Ardania. Majesty 2 is a game I’ve praised as being an innovative take on the real-time strategy genre by never being directly in control of units, but rather influencing them by setting quests, or waypoints, and enticing them to carry out your bidding.
