Legends Book 2 Coming Soon

Angelspit · Unread postby **Angelspit** » 31 Jan 2008, 20:06

The second book of Legends of the Ancients, that popular campaign for Heroes of Might and Magic V, will soon be released. Marzhin <a href="/http://lota.celestialheavens.com/">updated the Web site</a> with screenshots of the locations and characters you will encounter in The Sunken Kingdom. The Hammers of Fate expansion will be required to play.

In related news, Legends of the Ancients got the <b>Approved Content</b> seal from Ubisoft, which is a nice surprise considering the lack of canonicity of the campaign (it is, after all, an hommage to the old Might and Magic universe which has been discarded by the publisher). Another achievement for Marzhin, who became one of the top mapmakers last year with LotA and his Dark Messiah map.

Congratulations to Marzhin!!!

And the fact that Legends of the Ancients got the Approved Content Seal is an even greater reason to celebrate!

I wouldn't consider myself a "top mapmaker", I still do too many design mistakes in my maps. But thanks anyway

Axeoth still lives! Thanks a lot Marzhin for continually reviving it with the great campaigns

I cannot get LOTA it to work under ToTE. Can it be done?

It would not be too hard to make a TotE-operational version (you'd just need to fiddle with the files that affect the HoF campaigns so that they affect the TotE ones instead), with the author's permission of course...

lack of canonicity, you say? It is Ashan that has lack of cononicity, not LotA!

Shazbot, I have school! But then I will play.

Interesting so far. Just entered the second mission where your skills change, is that random or fixed?

Corlagon · Unread postby **Corlagon** » 04 Feb 2008, 17:46

Brilliant campaign as ever so far, seeing Thalia makes me wonder if it'd be disrespectful to create an Egyptian-style Dungeon mod based on this

I'm puzzled. I have LOTR_data v2.5 running HoF but the campaign looks like book 1. Fires from the North is the 1st 2 campaigns, Sunken Kingdom is 3rd.
