It's been a while since we posted a news update so we felt it is nice to post a small summary of what is going on at Enkord right now. The last few months since Alpha 2 launched I was investing heavilty into boring tech stuff which eventually allow us to start the total game interface overhaul. I do remember it was #1 complain since Alpha 1 launch and it still was the case for Alpha 2 - all those huge chat and progress boxes that can't be closed or minimized which take away your screen real estate and so on. Trust us, we hear you, it's not just simple to fix, hence the need for a serious tweaking inside the game. Good news is if we will be able to pull this internal tech overhaul, we will be able to creat ant tweak game interface way faster, reacting promptly on your feedback. Unfortunately this postpones Alpha 3 launch a little bit, but hey, on Alpha 3 we plan to invite more testers than on alpha 1 and 2 combined, so it will be worth the wait! Meanwhile our artists have been working on Classical Age art. For example on this picture you can see the Wonder you can start building in Classical Age to achieve Wealth Victory (one of the 6 possible victory types). It will have a whopping 100 upgrade levels and will require zillions of resources to build - you will need to be a very wealthy one, hence the victory name. The testing was also too successful - our resless army of testers provided us a ton of found bugs, I am kinda scared to think how are we going to find the time to fix them all. Keep up the great work! :) Finally - a small survey on what would you like to see in the Alpha 3 in the first place: - Classical Age ready (tech, buildings, units, etc.)
- New quest locations (Karfaree, Keepers' Village, Ruins of New Kyiv)
- More random content (things like fishing, random chests and items that pop up from time to time in towns, animals, maybe even small random quest locations).
- More bugs fixed and overall game tweaking (better interface, fixing existing reported bugs, batter game balance, and so on).
I can't promise results of this survey will make us focus on what the majority will chose as we already have internal schedule, but it will do us a reality check and make us do some adjustments in the future. Please vote for one of those options.

I'm torn. I want to build ships so Classic Age sounds great to me but new quest locations would be wonderful also. |

I would like quest location, too. But if they are as short as the Hideout, then it would be nicer to test the classical age - that will consume lot of more time, and will be last longer. |

Also as Suncheck correctly noted, quest locations would be probably a several hours worth of content. Probably longer than Opposition Hideout ofcourse, but not times longer, while Classical Age although less concentrated fun will run for weeks. Just a clarification. |

I'm thinking the priority order you listed (1,2,3,4) sound pretty much right up my alley, so keep trucking ahead! My PC crashed in a serious way a while back so I've been unable to play for some time, but hopefully I'll be back online within a week. My primary laptop is a Mac and I only used my old crappy PC for TT2, but it's being rebuilt now :-) I realise my two poor heroes will probably be terribly boxed in by now, nature of the game, so I'll start with a fresh one. An added benefit of classical age will be the ability to build ship, wich would help with the expansion issues on a limited map with very active players all around, so that should alleviate some of that expansion stress some of us have been feeling ;-)

By the way, congratulations to your art design team, the Wonder looks terrific ! Although there's one thing I consider as being VERY BAD HUMOR: Next to the paIm trees I can see the egyptian pharao picture from TT, which as a quest drove me nuts!!! I never managed to solve it, and so never got the magnifying glass complete. Okay, I gave up on it... *lol*

Number one for me would be Classical Age with new quest locations a close second. |

Although your team realizes that we want them all :) I will choose classic age. There are so many items that I have received in stone age that are only usable in classic age. This has whet my appetite for what comes next. |

I would like it all, but I want to see what Classical Age offers, and want to try out the neat new outfits and use better weapons! |

Meet your sister, I couldn't finish the 2 screen puzzle either. I spent weeeeeeks trying to do it and I couldn't :(
But back to the question at hand
I think I am going to go with new locations. While the building element is fun, its not particularly challenging and when I think about what it was that I liked so much about the original TT it was the challenging quests. I can play SimCity on Facebook if I'm looking to kill some time playing a simulation game. But there is no other game like Totem Tribe anywhere else on the interweb. So yeah, I'm picking locations and staying true to the games roots. |
