Here is a list of some features that are available in CoE 3.

  • Many monsters and many special abilities. Some examples right below.
  • Assassins that make an assassination attack before combat starts.
  • Catapults and Hill Giants that can throw boulders during sieges.
  • Immortal Liches and Vampires.
  • Exploding phoenixes (and they are immortal too).
  • And many many more monsters....
  • New weapon system, attacks are divided into pierce, slash or blunt damage (magic attacks have other types too). Skeletons are difficult to injure with piercing weapons and you should preferably use slashing weapons against treemen, etc.
  • Hotseat and network support for multiplayer games.
  • Random maps.
  • Random events.
  • 16 different classes to choose from. And they are quite different from each other, both in what resources they need and what kind of rituals or special abilities they have.
  • Spell system with about 50 magic paths.
  • Magic items.
  • Permanent battle afflictions.
  • Horrors.
  • Stealth and invisibility. Scouts needed to detect stealthy troops, something better (a star spawn or a beast bat will work) needed to detect the invisible ones. There are shape changers too.

At first it refused to start. I only got a black screen with a "Please wait" on it. I needed a "kill -9 PID" to get my system working again. But I was lucky and discovered the reason: the sound driver.
When I use the --alsa option, everything works fine.
With --oss the game starts, but I have no sound.
My system: openSUSE 12.1 (x64_64) with AMD Phenom II X4 965 and nVidia GeForce GTS 250

Could you try running the game with the -dd option (debug debug) and no sound option and post the last bit after it has frozen? I'm interested in why that happens.

I have done as you told. This is what I get:
-- sound_init 1 --
Init sound
jackd process not found
loading pulse lib
open PulseAudio

Please keep in mind that this only happens, when in the Preferences/Sound Device "Auto detect sound device" is activated.

Did you try running it with -d or -dd debug switch to narrow down the problem (it should give info about what's causing the crash or freeze)? Also, what OS/distro are you using? Additionally, did you use desura or the standalone installer?
