Thought you might like to hear about some of the new features we've been working on, Frenzy mode, further Fear additions and a scrolling in game log for co-op and MP.
Frenzy
The Zulu player can get his warriors to go into a Frenzy, they begin with some shield thumping which puts the fear into the Brits and then they charge off to the target area assigned by the player. They have a more aggressive run plus they can take extra damage. Same applies to the player. Each Frenzy lasts for a short period.
Fear
You may recall from our announcement last month that we've added Fear. The Fear system is still being working on. We have new additions such as Frenzy and a close shave ... and as a reminder in case you prefer not to play with it on, most features and gameplay are configurable so you can choose to play with fear or not before starting a game (network games, host chooses).
Log
We've added for network games a scrolling log showing significant player events, such as kill/death and rewards (e.g. frenzy)
Anything Else?
Release
I've had a few queries about release. As mentioned before the game will be released for EA (for the Rorkes Drift and Mbilini games) when development for gameplay and those maps are mostly complete and we feel its stable and playable.
We wont be date driven. Hopefully this means we can release an EA game that meets both yours and our expectations ... I mentioned late spring early summer previously however I think we need to push back a little but northern summer should be achievable.
Trailer
Yes the current trailer is quite a bit out of date, yes this needs to be addressed and is on our task list.
