The first expansion pack named Majesty 2: Kingmaker was released on Mafor PC and on Decemfor Mac OS X. The player assumes the role of the "true heir" to Ardania, who sets out to defeat the demon and purge the realm of evil. Under the demon's rule, Ardania crumbled and fell back to its chaotic past, and many pretenders tried and failed to win the throne. He summoned a powerful demon in an attempt to banish it and win renown himself, but the demon killed the king and usurped his throne. The last king, Leonard, however, had no enemies left to conquer, and became worried over his place in history. Since that time, many celebrated kings ruled, who vanquished many legendary foes. Majesty 2 returns to the gently satirical, high fantasy world of Ardania featured in the original, a magical realm populated by elves, gnomes, dwarves and various monsters, as well as humans.Īccording to the game's back story, Ardania was unified 500 years previously by a great ruler. However, patch 1.3 introduced randomized non-quest monster dens, and places for construction of temples and trading posts.
Because the new engine does not provide the technical capability to randomly generate maps it is unlikely that a freestyle game mode, of the sort found in the original game, will be provided.
Unlike the original, Majesty 2 does not feature freestyle play nor co-operative multi-player as part of its release offering. They also supply heroes with equipment and other items via trade buildings, which both improves the hero's abilities and allows the player to recoup the money heroes have gained from flags and defeated enemies.
The player can influence the actions of hero units by placing bounties on particular actions, such as exploring an area or defeating a specific enemy unit, using a variety of "flags". Individual units ("heroes"), however, are semi-autonomous each has their own statistics and inventory and interact with the game world according to unit-specific AIs (for example hunters will scout unknown areas of the map while warriors prefer to attack or defend locations). Players take the role of "the sovereign", placing buildings and recruiting units as in other real-time strategy titles. The core gameplay of Majesty 2 is essentially the same as the original Majesty.
