February 28, 201313 yr Divinity: Dragon CommanderFeeling the power of command. Going beyond the detached pulling of strings and looking to once again breathe some fiery life into the RTS scene is Larian Studios' aim with Divinity: Dragon Commander.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9lbrq3BLQU At a passing glance, it may appear fairly conventional: Set in a time when both magic and technology were at their peak in the Divinity universe, Dragon Commander tells the story of a young Dragon Knight who fights for the survival of Rivellon when his father, the king, os brutally murdered for opposing the teachings of a new religion. Six nations - the elves, the dwarves, the imps, the undead, the lizards and the humans must set aside their differences and unite to stop empress Aurora from taking over the world. Then things take off in rather interesting directions: The majestic Raven is your command ship and your home away from home. Aboard this gargantuan vessel you will find everything you need to steer your armies and govern your empire. The epicenter of your power, the Raven is where you will research new technologies, plan your campaign, make political decisions and get intimate with the princesses of the realm. Become the Dragon (...) you have the ability to turn into a dragon at any time to support your troops in combat! Blast through the air empowered by your trusty jetpack and have at the enemy. Breathe fire to destroy; cast fog to confuse; charm to subvert. These and many other skills are at your disposal. Plan your conquest Move your armies across the turn-based world map and decide how to improve the lands under your rule. Will you concentrate on gold revenue, for instance, or the increase of military output? Weigh one benefit against the other and keep the long term in mind. Spectacular real-time strategy gameplay Engage in massive, full 3D RTS battles across vast landscapes. The enemy is everywhere: he roams the lands, scours the seas and infests the skies, but you have at your disposal units that can take on any threat. Build factories, gather resources, construct armies and reap victory! Play your cards right Story decisions earn you cards that when played wisely can influence politics, strengthen your military, bolster your economy and weaken your opponents. Sometimes the winner is simply the one with the ace up his sleeve! Love and marriage Many princesses will bid for your hand, but when you have made the decision whom to marry, that is only the beginning. Each princess has her own background and personal struggle. It will be up to you to guide her to the best of your abilities, keeping in mind the often conflicting sensitivities of your councillors. Beyond the single-player campaign there's also a strong multiplayer component to the game, with skirmishing and co-op play included. A new, revamped official site is now online, so go give it a look to learn more. The quest to reclaim your rule is not that far off either, as the dragon flies, and you can count on this title alighting by June or July of this year.
