Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Northern Expansion Add-On Pack picks up where the first Majesty left off, with the kingdom of Ardania at peace and its citizens enjoying a period of prosperity. Outside the kingdom, however, is the unexplored Northern region, which is presented here in 13 all-new quests. In addition, there are new enemies, monsters, and spells. New buildings include the Embassy, which will automatically recruit heroes from other lands into any open guild spots and allow players to share their ally's views of the map in multiplayer games. The Hall of Champions will keep a list of all the types of creatures killed at least once by your heroes. From this list you can pick any one type of creature and place a bounty it. At the Magic Bazaar you can buy new magic items for your heroes to use, including the Elixir of Regeneration, Fire Balm, and Invisibility Brew. The Mausoleum holds a certain number of your slain heroes, whom players may bring back to life for a price.

5.0 out of 5 stars much more challenging, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Majesty: The Northern Expansion Add-On (CD-ROM)

I, like many others I think, have been anxiously awaiting The Northern Expansion. I just found mine in a department store about a week ago, and it has become just as addictive as the first Majesty. However, this one is going to take a lot longer to complete, as the new quests are VERY challenging. Even the one new "beginner" quest, called the "Scions of Chaos," seems impossible to win; you have to dispose of a priestess, a discord warrior, and a cultist to win. Sounds fairly easy until the priestess shows up right away and wreaks havoc on your settlement before you can get a good start. A couple of the "advanced" ones seem a little easier, and I mean "a little," but I have gotten through two of them and am sure I will figure out the secrets to winning the rest after I get annihilated a few (hundred) times. The new buildings are great, although I haven't figured out how valuable or worthless some of them are. Also, a couple of the maps in the freestyle mode are HUGE, and the manual settings page will tell you that your computer needs AT LEAST 128 megs of RAM to run those. So, spare yourself the temptation of playing the freestyle scenarios if you don't have that much power, or go out and upgrade. Anyway, if the first Majesty tried your patience to the point of contemplating suicide, you might want to think twice about trying the Northern Expansion right away. However, if you found the quests in Majesty a little too easy, and yearn for more challenging, seemingly impossible-to-win adventures in Ardania, Majesty:The Northern Expansion add-on is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Northern Expansion...., May 23, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Majesty: The Northern Expansion Add-On (CD-ROM)

This expansion is the best I have ever seen, baecause it actually improves the game, adding a QUEST- maker, and giving you tons of new creatures, the powerful wendigo, the villanous Greater Gorgon, as well as 4 new unique monsters! The expansion also lets you in on many new buildings, and the quests are challenging and enjoyable. To sweeten things...! ....

And, this expansion also "eqalizes" heroes, beefing up the "underdogs".

Bottom Line: Coool in both aspects of price and challenge, a MUST for Majesty Fans!

By A Customer

This review is from: Majesty: The Northern Expansion Add-On (CD-ROM)

I've been waiting for this game for a long time and now it's finally out! The quests are harder and more challenging. There are also some new buildings like an Embassy, Hall of Champions, Magic Bazaar, Mausoleum, Outpost, and Sorcerer's Adobe!! There are also new monsters like Goblin Overlords, Greater Gorgons, Ice Dragons, more Ratkind, Shadow Beats, Yeti, and more!! There are now 6 new Sovereign Spells!! Also, there are many modifications to the orginal Majesty. This game is a great buy and should be bought right now!!
