Stardock's new Fantasy turn-based strategy game

from GalCiv2 Forums
When Dark Avatar is finished, is Stardock contemplating making an announcement about the Fantasy Turn-based strategy that is in development?

Title?
Game information?
Release date?

I can't wait to find out more about it! Not that I'm tired of Galactic Civilizations 2, by any means.

As long as it is like Master of Magic, I'm sold... I have been waiting for a game like that for decades...

Like I need another challenge to my gaming portion control...

I've been calling it NotMoM2 in hopes of poking a working title out of the Stardock folks. I figure it is way too early to start talking about delivery dates, but I'm hoping we won't have to wait too long after mid-February to see some public discussion of features and functions.

Just thinking about it makes me remember the first time I stumbled on a portal to "the others side of the map." That could look *so* cool with modern graphics.

There is already a very good turnbased fantasy strategy game on market:

Dominions 3

Its not the best in SP (because AI can't use all the possible strategies) but genious and full of different actions in MP. It could be played server hosted or PBEM.

Oops...cant make any more then


Dominions 3 actually put to the test my assertions that I "dont care about graphics, all that matters is gameplay" in videogames. Evidently Ive been a hypocrite whenever Ive said that. And bear in mind I differentiate between technical graphics and artistic graphics (I was perfectly happy with the old school, but nicely done 2D graphics in the Disciples 2 game I bought from TGN(stardock...another rather dated Turn based Fantasy game if youre really jones'n). Dominions has neither, and sound effects that could make an Atari 2600 wince.


But its a deep, involving game for turn based multiplayer(ZOMG SD...dont they know that Turn based MP cant be done ) by all accounts, if youre really, honestly and truly not at all concerned with game presentation. I just think at a certian point youre better off playing a Tabletop game (which is going to have even more depth than any computer game could and a wealth of resources)with your friends and some sort of online game interface like Fantasy Grounds.


I too would like to get the whip cracking for more info from SD about their own 4x fanatsy game( assuming I cant get you to work on GC3 any sooner).

Whenever I get an itch to play a TBS Fantasy game, I either plug in Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, or Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I loved the Lords of Magic game too, but I can't get that game to work anymore, and that game has replay issues where you really don't have a random map generator.
