From the General News category we have: News From the Front: Into the Depths

"Are you sure that the only way to create these weapons is to use brightstone in the forging?" asked High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer.

"I'm certain, Sire," said the Forgemaster.

"Ye know how rare that stone is. I've got a few bits left in my vaults, an' I'll happily give it, but the amount you're askin' for is a hundred times or more what I've got down there." Slipping into Khazalid, Thorgim asked, "Where do you plan to get that much brynduraz?"

General Rordin Ironmane, head of the Oathbearers, stepped forward to answer. "We've found Phineas Fireforge's secret tunnel into Mount Gunbad, Sire. The legend is true."

There were sharp intakes of breath around the room followed by a barrage of questions.

The High King raised his hand and the room fell silent. "Are you sure, General?"

"Aye, Sir. We followed the old Dwarf's trail through the Badlands and I think he really did have a secret way inside. There's a mess o' Goblins guardin' the cave, but I'll wager me ma's best servin' gold that's the way in. We'll need more Dwarfs, and excavation tools."
"Then, you shall have them. Well done, General. Well done."

I really like this one (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/herald/images/community/jnff/jnff_ss_19.jpg).

I think it shows off the lighting engine to it's best.

As ever there are different stories and screenshots available in the European edition (http://img.war-europe.com/syndic_img/news/julymnl/nlgunbad_EN.html). Those of you able to read French, German, Spanish or Italian can also check out the creative talents of the beta testers in those languages as well as we have different fan tales for each version.

I have a feeling that all these screenshots don't have the settings to max on details. The jeux and onlinewelten videos seem like the lighting is 10x better, but maybe this is because the game was moving in real time.

I just think the graphics look way better in person and in some of the recent videos.

Mythic seems to have a nasty habit of releasing sub par looking screen shots. :confused: :?
