What the f*ck is this shit?

so far from what we have seen - the game doesnt sound like it will be good

Why couldnt it be something like Valkyria Chronicles for example on the PS3 in terms of combat? that worked pretty well

God I hate whats going on with old franchises right now

First Xcom which by the looks of it - will be raped to hell and back and loose every bit of integrity the franchise had with it's reboot and now this...

I think I'm getting angry now...I need a coffee....

It could work... I'm willing to wait and see. After all, simply giving the old game a bit of a spit and polish wouldn't really be enough of a reason to rebuy it. As long as it allows liberal use of a pause feature then it might work out fine.

Yes, I know that they tried to aquire MoM license/rights. I was and still am sceptical wether or not they or anyone could've pulled it of at least in with the current thinking among devs that TBS is archaid and can't sell well (ala FO3, JA2 reloaded et al). Stardock at least still sticks with TBS for now at least.

It's really shame MoM never got a sequel.

If you like civ games or 4x games in geneneral you really should. Just be prepared for archaid interface that lacks many features of more modern civ games and 90's DOS game graphics (you can try dosbox scalers if you want). Oh and do use Kyrub's Master of Magic unofficial patch as it does fix quite a lot of things.

You, me and everyone else hopes they can make it better but it'll be lot harder to make large changes than it would have been back in alpha/beta. They're also making the expansion(s) at the same time so their manpower is divided. While the new guy may be tallented (of Fall from Heaven mod fame I believe), it does not quarantee he can help to fix the sorry state the game currently is in. There simply may be too much to fix with the limited time and resources at hand.
