Glad to see this coming out. I wonder if making it a standalone release will help for marketing purposes.

Certainly hope so.
To bad there won't be campaign. Love it.

The game is about two parties fighting for the throne. I wonder if you can screw both parties and just take the throne.

So, I'm not too clear on this one. Is it essentially an expansion pack for the first game, but sold as a standalone? I notice it only promises 6-10 hours of play.

If I can use my group from the first game, I'd be extra pleased.

I have to play this. According to reviews there is a blonde queen that is a champion of "the little guy" and a red-haired king that wants to build a wall around "the southern kingdom" to keep out rapists and murderers. (I'm not even making that up.)

Is this very similar/the same system to the original Eisenwald, sneaky political commentary aside?

Been playing it 6 hours so far according to Steam and nowhere near the end.

It's a single very large scenario with lot of things to do and explore. You basically have the option to side with Clinton or Trump

Of course, you start with a new character and a few peasants. Would be pretty ridiculous to start right away with a maxed group. Half the fun, imo, is getting your group leveled.

Yes, the same system and units. You get a new map, a new scenario that is more «open», with quests and dynamic stuff. I enjoy playing it. But just don't expect a new game.

I'm assuming that Clinton/Trump analogy is a joke, and, on the slim chance that it is not, can you perhaps slay them both and write yourself or someone else in?

Uh oh, this idea is probably good for PR. But a lot of players dont like politics and dont want some hidden RL political connotations in games so it may backfire a lot too.

It says so in many of the reviews.
To be honest, even the first one had many hidden political things in them...
