Farflame

The game shapes up nicely. Can I have several questions for stream? 1. You mentioned SWAT-like attack in Memphis. Can it escalate in a way that when you achieve your objective you will need to escape quickly before city dwellers swarm on you? That would be pretty epic and unique amongst TB RPGs. 2. Will you occasionally fight some wild animals? You mentioned lions in dev diary... 3. Is there some fake "fight vs demons" like in Viking when your senses were deceived? 4. Is it true that special NPCs can join you for some quests and fight in your group? 5. Does armor have one main "armour rating" like usual or is it mainly about different resistances that it has? 6. I think I noticed something like "armour cap"in the game. If its not my mistake what is it?

Hello. Its Farflame here from Czech localisation team and Czech fan community. Can I send few questions for the stream? - What is generally the hardest thing to do for actors (and/or director)? - Are there some actors who like yelling or doing weird sounds (death sounds)? :) I assume its exhausting for voice acting director after a while. :) - Did you record some actors together doing dialogue? I assume its better for actors and better to watch how the dialogue unfolds. But maybe its not common to do it this way.

Thank you very much for your nice answer. I was late with my questions, but you answered anyway. Regarding Gladiator - I expected something like that but I still had to ask. :) It was just big hit and big score. Regarding themes - I wonder how themes for Mithridates and his land (cities) sounds.... I hope that little bit of it will appear in the document about music. Regarding cover - Im not composer but I listen to soundtracks sometimes and I translated (with my colleagues) previous game in the series, Exp Viking, to Czech language. So I have some "bonds" to Expedition RPGs and really look forward to the new game. There was also some good music in Exp Viking but it seems that your composition will be better and also more complex. It would be great if you would release CD soundtrack (of the game will be successfull, of course). If I do some fan video about Exp Rome to raise interest among fans in my country I will use your wonderfull music for it. :) Best regards

Hello, can I have few question for the stream? 1. Is there some homage to Gladiator soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer? Particularly track "Slave Who became a Gladiator" which starts as ethnic piece but evolved into tense rising music for coming into gladiator arena. Because there are few characters with gladiator background in Exp Rome so that homage could be interesting. :) BTW if Hollywood would make Gladiator now Deianeira would be probably main star. :-) 2. Can you tell us about main feeling or themes in different companion themes? What character traits your try to portray throughout music? 3. Female choir or voices are often used in historical movie soundtracks like Troy or Gladiator. Did you used them in Exp Rome?
