[From Admin: This thread is created for asking questions to the developers of the "New Town for WOG". NordStar and Corwin will answer the questions.]

I'm here because I was invited. I am the coordinator for the creation of the new town. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Before asking a question, please read the FAQ - you may already find the answer there.

Of course, there are a few questions:

1. Is the same team working on the new city as they did on WOG up to version 3.59f?
2. When will the full version be released?
3. What is the status of the multiplayer?

In which world will the events of the campaign take place, and will they be connected to the previous installments of the WOG series and the Heroes of Might and Magic series?

....1. Is the same team that created WOG up to version 3.59f working on the new city?
2. When will the full version be released?
3. What is the status of the multiplayer?

1. The new city is being developed by a completely independent team – initially, it was just a group of forum users. However, we have a very close relationship with the WOG team, and we coordinate our work.

2. Only God knows. Hopefully, it will be released simultaneously with version 3.59.

3. It's getting better with each version. But in reality, the generally accepted version for multiplayer is TE. This isn't entirely a question for the city's development team.

It will be directly connected to the SOD campaign. We will travel back in time.

Why did you choose the Egyptian theme as the basis for the new town?

Almost spontaneously. But there were still a few reasons:
1. The desire to use sand as the native land for a new city, as it wasn't already for any.
2. Some future team members already had some initial ideas in this area.

And which commander will be in the new town? Perhaps there are already some sketches or a verbal description?

Will it be related to all the SoD campaigns or a specific one?
Or will it be a continuation of the overall concept?

I heard about the New City, and you talk about it as a city of Gods - i.e., this city will be, in its own way, the pinnacle of Olympus.

Which commander will be featured in the new town?
Are there any sketches or verbal descriptions available?

There will be two. Of course, there are descriptions and even some initial artwork. One is a female deity, connected to Egyptian mythology, and the other is entirely our own creation.

Will she be connected to all the campaigns of Shades of Darkness, or specifically to one of them?
Or will this be a continuation of the overall concept?

I heard about New Town, and you talk about it as a city of Gods - i.e., this city will be, in a sense, the pinnacle of Olympus.

In principle, you can read about the campaign on our website:
http://newtown.nm.ru/.
It says everything about the period of events.

Will there be a tier 8 creature in New City? If so, it would be interesting to know what kind of unit it is – perhaps a Scorpion King?

Will there be a level 8 creature in New City? If so, I'm curious what kind of unit it will be – perhaps a Scorpion King?

Of course, there will be, and moreover, it has already been designed. Following the tradition of Heroes of Might and Magic, we didn't create a fundamentally different creature for level 8 compared to level 7.
