I explored the "Old World" - the area around the Dark Tower in the first game. Apparently things went all to hell after that first game. Magical plague, cataclysm, no Overlord to run the place... You get the idea.
Anyway, I got salamander mounts for my red minions. The boss I had to kill was relatively easy... And they didn't make me do anything crazy-frustrating with the mounts after I got them... So that was cool.
And I got another mistress.
And I managed to woo all three of my mistresses at the same time and got a hilarious cutscene.
Now it looks like I'm supposed to head towards the final showdown, but I'm not ready yet. I still haven't finished with the towns I've captured. I'm still at 98/100 in Nordberg... And I accidentally killed someone in Everlight, so I guess I can't completely enslave them. I suppose I'll have to kill them instead...
