![]() ![]() Quick travel points are also unlocked but are not plentiful so you’ll spend a lot of time travelling. There is, however, a fairly large amount of backtracking thanks to quests that require you to go back and forth in the usual RPG fetch quest fashion. Your character cannot jump and so you’re rather funneled through the terrain until you find your next fight. In terms of the exploration, there’s a big world out there but one that is surprisingly linear for an RPG. ![]() There is no combat outside of those battles and foes will not engage you until you walk, or ride, into their territory. While exploration is done in third-person in a fairly standard RPG fantasy world, the battles take place viewed from above, giving you a tactical view of the battlefield. As with the original King’s Bounty, this means you are given a horse and a small army and sent off to handle the task however you see fit.Īlong the way you’ll need to complete quests in order to raise your leadership stats, in order to command larger armies, and funds with which to hire people, and creatures, to fight for you. You play as one of three characters, a warrior, a mage or a paladin each of whom have varying stats when it comes to combat and magic and you are charged by the Prince with a mission to rid the world of blighted creatures threatening to destroy the continent of Nostria in the world of Antara. King’s Bounty 2 mixes the tactical, turn-based battles of the original game with some third-person RPG-style exploration. Of course, we’re now a shocking 31 years on from the original game (and at least six console generations) and so this reviewer needs to put on his big boy pants and get on with it. King’s Bounty 2 therefore is my first time looking beyond the original game in the series. I never felt that the original needed anything added. I’ve never dabbled with King’s Bounty: The Legend or the spiritual successor to the original game, Heroes of Might and Magic. So, with that in mind I was nervous about this one. ![]() I’ve completed the game countless times, putting in hundreds of hours, and it is a better-than-perfect port. I still to this day have an old Vodafone 1615 that has the sole purpose of being my King’s Bounty handheld console. The one was a freeware port for Windows Mobile 6 by some random Russian kid. While the Amiga version (the version I played back in the day) was great, it wasn’t the one. That might sound like a hipster pick but it gets worse. King’s Bounty is my favourite game of all time. But before we move on, there’s something of an elephant in this particular room. Sometimes that works but sometimes you get Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5. Of course, when a developer and publisher decide to bring in the number for the sequel, that suggests that this is the true follow up. As is common with long-running video game franchises, despite this sequel being named number 2, there were a bunch of sequels in between, all spawning from 2008’s King’s Bounty: The Legend. Of course, this is a sequel to the original King’s Bounty, a 1990 tactical RPG that originated on the PC but did good business on the Amiga and Sega Megadrive. ![]() King’s Bounty 2 is a cross-over RPG/tactics game from Russian coders 1C Entertainment who have quite the softography of lesser-known titles behind them.

Marlin raises Nemo in a secure anemone further into the reef. Vowing to protect it, he names the codling Nemo. When he comes to that night, he discovers that Coral and the eggs have been eaten by the barracuda but manages to find a single surviving egg with a scratch on its right side. Marlin rushes in but the barracuda knocks him out with a flick of its tail, sending him back into the anemone. Ignoring Marlin's order to hide, Coral moves to protect her eggs and the barracuda lunges. They flirt playfully with each other until Coral's attention is distracted by the appearance of a barracuda. Excited to be first-time parents, they discuss names, Coral expressing her fondness for " Nemo". Below them, their clutch of eggs lies hidden in a small hole. Two clownfish, Marlin and Coral, are admiring the view from their new home within a sea anemone overlooking the drop off of a coral reef. 5.4 Environmental concerns and consequences.A sequel, Finding Dory, was released on June 17, 2016.

Similarly, players now have the chance to take out Lieutenant General Shepherd earlier, thereby preventing the events of MW2 and earning a trophy in the process. Killing Makarov before he runs off would grant the 'Time Paradox' trophy since Modern Warfare 2 and 3 would have changed drastically.

They thrive when working in democratic environments and work best in teams – they also love a meeting! The generational divide is especially apparent when it comes to work-life balance, with every generation having very different opinions on the workplace, and what they’re motivated by: Baby boomers (1946-1964)īaby boomers are known for being workaholics and extremely competitive in the workplace. One of the easiest ways to demonstrate this is through the outlooks of different generations. Work-life balance means many different things to different groups of people. How do the generations view work-life balance? Since the pandemic thoroughly altered many people’s opinion on work and the workplace, the concept of work-life balance has also taken a whole new direction. These attitudes have also evolved as part of cultural, generational and economic influences. There isn’t a strict definition of what a good work-life balance looks like, as every person has their own individual attitude on the matter. Companies that are able to foster happier, healthier, and more productive environments for their employees will always be the ones that are more successful. Since the pandemic and changes in routines, it’s become even more imperative that companies take the work-life balance of their employees seriously. ![]() It’s an important aspect of any healthy work environment as, without it, employees can begin to feel stressed and burnt out in the workplace. Work-life balance refers to the relationship your work and personal lives have with each other. ![]() In a thoughtful discussion, Fiona explored how the idea of work-life balance is an ever-evolving one, and how it has been impacted by the pandemic.

A great rose for flower shops who need a longer vase life!ĭay 1 – Thorns and leaves are super strong and hard to clean off the stems, I had to hand-pick all thorns off the stems. Of the 25 stems I’d say maybe 2-3 are starting to wilt and all the others look the same as they did 3 days ago. The blooms don’t open very much from the time they first arrived and the blooms are measuring at 3” in width.ĭay 10 – Coffee Break blooms are still going strong. Great for autumn weddings or events that need a punch of dark and rich color. Rose stripper is needed to clean and process the stems and even with the rose stripper many of the thorns were left behind.ĭay 7 – Coffee Break offers a very rich and warm hue, it is a dark terra cotta color. The blooms have remained a cup shape, it is a good sized rose with a hint of a garden rose scent.ĭay 9 – Petals are dropping and they are done.ĭay 1 – Super strong stems on this variety. I find the one grown by Alexandra Farms has a bit more brown tone to it, whereas this one by Agri Rose lends itself towards the golden tone. I mentioned in the video that I’m more familiar with the Caramel Antike grown by Alexandra Farms and this is my first time with the Caramel Antike grown by Agri Rose. Some of the blooms are still 3” wide and some have opened up to a glorious 5” in width.ĭay 7 – I would describe the color of this Caramel Antike as having a golden tone. No thorns to remove and was easy to process.ĭay 3 – this rose is still opening, which is to be expected with a garden rose variety. Almost all foliage was removed as it wasn’t pretty and wouldn’t be useful in a floral design. Each bloom was wrapped in a soft material to keep it from getting bruised (see photo). There’s hints of brown, rose, pink, terracotta colors in each rose bloom.ĭay 1 – This is a garden rose variety and offers a cupped shape bloom. This is a fun rose that would be great in bridal work, centerpiece work, and potentially in pieces to wear like boutonnieres. Would be a good rose for bridal work.Įach bloom has so much variety in colors and it could easily be matched with so many of the other roses in this Brown Rose Color Study.ĭay 7 – About half of the blooms have wilted, so I would say it’s vase life is about 5-6 days. It’s bloom is shallow and it is petite in size overall. ![]() Vase Life: 7 Days, about half are wilted on day 7ĭay 1 – A petite bloom with interesting coloring.ĭay 3 – This is a fun rose to watch open up. I love how the peach coloring has so much depth to it.ĭay 10 – I’m happy to report that Camel is still going strong on day 10 – especially happy that they’ll continue to grace my desk with their presence. I would definitely use this one in bridal work – great size and shape for bouquets. On day 7 most of the blooms are still going strong and I think I’ll get a few more days out of this pretty little one. It’s a petite bloom that opens beautifully. I like the variety of peach hues in each bloom.ĭay 7 – I’m smitten with this rose. This would be a great rose for bridal work. Get your thorn stripper out – you’ll need it to process this varietyĭay 3– this is my first experience with Camel and I must say I think it’s a fun little rose. The petals are very soft, as garden rose petals tend to be and looks like it will bruise easily so be sure to handle with care.ĭay 1 – A very nice sweetheart size bloom, great for bridal work. If you are familiar at all with the garden rose ‘Koko Loko’ this Caffe Latte has a lot of similar color attributes. The outer petals are very floppy, which adds to its garden rose nature.ĭay 7 – I would describe the color as dusty – muddy lavender with hints of brown. The blooms tend to look more like a garden rose variety over a more standard cut flower style rose.ĭay 3 – these fall under garden roses so each bloom opens slightly differently, some are 2.5” wide and some are 3”. Origin: Uhuru Flowers / Parfum Flower Company, Kenyaĭay 1 – Get your thorn stripper out to clean these stems.
