According to all the rules of modern, excuse me, the art of creating the games The Guild 2, along with addons, should not have been born at all at all. No, no, it’s not at all gray, like a boat faded in the sun without applied paint, crafts, the existence of which the majority does not know both before the release and after it. On the contrary – the whole ruler came out to be incorruptible and fresh. Here is the problem in another – in the crazy combination of the most unexpected genres, in the truly German concept of the quality of testing, in universal roughness and protruding processes of budgets. Such games today can finance only two major publishers: Jowood And Atari. Promotion The Guild 2: Renaissance The first of them is engaged.visit page
Inexpensive conservatism
The Guild 2 has always been loved for non -standard in gameplay. Before engaged in its description, it is important to indicate which genres of this line of games are the collection. The RTS Plus RPG combination, of course, does not hit us to the core – we still remember SpellForce, yes. But if you add an almost full -fledged simulator in the spirit of The Sims to the specified terms, it becomes a little more fun.
Getting its roots still in a dilapidated, like a body Mickey Rurka, Europa 1400 strategies: The Guild, the current The Guild 2 Holy honors the traditions of the ideological source. Well, as you know, in this regard an independent addition Renaissance no worse than the original.
Here, as before, the economic component is given to the lion’s share of attention. You have to start in beggarly and unfair conditions: there is little money, the social situation is depressing, there are no connections, as well as the marriage bonuses. The longing is mortal.
And in the Renaissance (also traditionally for The Guild 2) there is no tutorial. Of course, we understand the desire of the developers to create a hardcore economic simulator with the possibility of direct control, and at the same time the desire to immediately suggest that you will not have to wait for easy ways, and we can sew those who have not played anything more seriously than the Sims. But in the end! An hour of time saved on the development of the minimum instruction, sometimes turns out to be very necessary. As they say, during this time it was possible to have time ten times to conceive children.
We leave duty curses and move on to the main. The start of the campaign is preceded by the choice of one of the four modes. There are competitions for a while or crash, “dynasty” or “mission”. All of them are focused on paramount human goals: to become rich, to achieve location in society, climb the career ladder or, if the specified does not fit, become a thief.
But the key and the most complex regime in Renaissance is “dynasty”. It is worth recalling that the tutorial time is unimaginably fast, and it will only be possible to build your own empire in it.
Renaissance for the Guild? Not at all
The main scheme of movement to success since The Guild 2 no one has changed here. We still have to go a difficult path from a commoner to the ruler of nations. At the very beginning, if you remember, it is necessary to master a primitive craft so as not to starve to death, and here for us, as many as nine new professions are stocked in addition. Their choice refers us straight to the name of the addition. The Renaissance era is the time of the appearance of the opportunity not even for the most high -ranking person to master the secrets of writing and reading. The professions of the artisan and the merchant are becoming more widespread and, importantly, respect.
IN Renaissance You will be able to become a mercenary, a merchant, a mason, a banker, a hotel owner, a miller, the owner of a fruit and vegetable empire, and even those who are usually called producer today. As you can see, the choice of new classes was far from random and to a greater extent corresponds to the spirit of that beautiful era.
Particular attention began to be paid to the army. Now, in order to earn a new noble title, there is little simple promotion on a career ladder – you must either serve during the fighting, or regularly provide the king with your best recruits.
Of other changes, we still want to note four times increased compared to the original card and two completely new scenarios: The Free Republic of the Netherlands and The Alps.
All other improvements are more like cosmetic suspenders. Yes, now more people scurry on the streets: you can find a drunkard in the bushes or there is a random onlook. And wild animals are not averse to getting near your residence. Small changes have affected the construction regime – a couple of new buildings are now available. A trifle, yeah.
The developers were still talking about advanced artificial intelligence there. But, unfortunately, there was only enough forces that the competing dynasties are now dying not like sick flies, but more or less trying to create the illusion of active life.
Well, finally, a little about the sad. RuneForge Each time, an oath assures us that the next game in the series will definitely be well optimized for systems of various configurations. Testing, they say, will take place in a particularly strict mode, and no punctures on the technical part in the future are expected.
Yeah, this is as convincing as if Oprah Winfrey Suddenly she stated that this journalism got her, and therefore she decided to change her profession, becoming an operator of conveyor tape at the poultry farm. “Guild”, which is in full “Renaissance”, is monstrously slowing down, buggy and groanes like an old video recorder. The characters passing through each other, ennobled by the crooked animation, are here in the order of things. This only eloquently indicates that the game was created in full accordance with the true traditions of German development.
The Guild 2: Renaissance – Another good addition to a non -standard economic strategy: more professions, more space for maneuvers, as well as new scenarios, soundtrack and era. Nothing distinguishing, but fans, as they say, will be appreciated.
Pros: additional nine professions;at least minimal, but still improved artificial intelligence.
Cons: alapular technical implementation;Lack of intelligible training regime.
