ORIGINAL: Arctic Blast Also, some kind of a remake, or whole new 'reinvention' of Masters of Magic. There are other good Fantasy-themed games, but none of that scale. Stardock of GalCiv fame are doing one, although it hasn't been officially 'announced' yet. The project started off as an 'MoM 2' a while ago, although that doesn't mean it will end up that way, in name anyway. Definitely TBS though. The AI should kick ass anyway, although I hope they include MP this time. Now THAT is very good news! Thanks, Hertston. StarDock is NOT doing MOM2. What they are doing is a game that is Tactical Turn-Based Fantasy Strategy. It is part MOM, part Populous, and part X-Com. These are their own words. What it is not is Masters of Magic. Not that anyone should really care. Personally I'll take any decent tactical Turn-Based Fantasty Strategy game. I too prefer a more "Epic" feel though to my Fantasy Games.. So if they muck that aspect up.. I'll probably pass as I have on most other Fantasy Titles. The rights to the "Masters of Magic" name cost well into the multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars from Atari. So StarDock isn't getting them unless something has changed recently... Somewhat Ironic to me, the trademark for Masters of Magic has expired. So like many IPs its just way way way way overvalued. And a total waste IMHO. BTW here is one post to confirm above. Please let me know if I'm wrong (Many media outlets did mis-report that StarDock was doing MOM2) http://tgnforums.stardock.com/?aid=165429
