Kingmaker, which Paradox associate producer Mattias Lilja hopes to be the first of several expansions, also contains a few more goodies such as a map editor, which will include Paradox's own tool set used to create maps. Players will be able to create their own missions and skirmishes, as most real-time strategists love to do. It is important to note that this is currently available for free download on the Majesty 2 website, so it is more of a convenience than a new feature. There will also be an in-game shop, which will include free items.
There will be a new playable character, the Ice Mage, who is skilled in both magic and melee combat. Better yet, you simply need to level up your standard mage to get him. The Ice Mage has new combos, with one particularly nasty combo in which he turns the enemy into a block of ice and stabs it with his spear. That sounds a lot more feasible than dual-wielded crossbows, once you get past the whole 'turning into a block of ice' part.
