I have a 3 year old and not much more patience then him. Just treat me and other gamers like 3 year olds. Give us a lot of attention in small bits and we will be happy. Ignore us and we get cranky and throw temper tantrums. *Grin* Have a good Turkey day all! Sammual

Brad - Can we can get an update on not-MoM? in Games in Development GalCiv2 Forums

Brad - Any chance we can get an update as to what is going on with the 4X fantasy game team? The last info I know of about the progress is - "Most of our game development team is working on a new fantasy strategy game with a 2009 release date; public beta next year. It’s a turn-based game with tactical combat which is also turn-based. One could describe it as part Master of Magic, part Populous and part X-Com. We’ve developed a pretty extraordinary graphics engine for it. I wish I coul

I can't wait for StarDock's not-MoM. MoM is still in my top 5 games and I am following 3 different fan re-makes ATM.

Reply to STARDOCK DESIGNERS - Please consider making a MOM type game for your next enterprise... in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

The magic system in MoM was indeed inspired by Magic: The Gathering. This is incorrect and a common misconception about Master of Magic. MoM, was released in 1994, while Magic: The Gathering was released one year earlier. However, even back in the day it still took at least 2 years for development, thus the ideas that the magic system in MoM were based o

Reply to Go for Mom 2 in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Triumph Studios made a series called Age of Wonder. Its really the spiritual successor to MoM, and they did a good job of it. Age of Wonders 1 and 2 were spiritual successors to MoM. AoW:Shadow Magic came the closest to the MoM feeling but none of them captured the magic. The game feels much more restrictive then MoM did. <

Reply to master of magic 2 in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'm sure they will say that on these forums, while benefiting from game mags, reviewers and users calling them the successor of MOM/ MOO etc... GalCiv is not MoO. I just hope the "yet unnamed fantasy game" IS MoM2. A MoM like game would be great, I would pre-order a copy from Fraxis or Stardock in a heatbeat. MoM2 (Mo

Master of Magic is still one of my top 10 games. I would be happy with a MoM2 that was just MoM with updated graphics, bug fixes, and re-balanced. To make MoM2 into the best game ever all you would need to do in addition to the above is add the following; 1) Hex based map / Combat map. 2) Multiplayer (Including Hotseat). 3) Modability. I think almost any other chan
