  • Paradox announces new turn based strategy game with magic; spiritual MoM successor?

    Paradox announced earlier tonight that they will publish a new turn based strategy game where the goal is to use magic and armies to become the sole Warlock of the lands. Not much is known yet, but one of the devs said the game is not a successor, but based on, a classic 90s game. Spiritual MoM successor anyone...?

    I'm tired of hearing about "spiritual successors" to Master of Magic.

    Make a sequel or don't.

    ACK!
    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

      That, I guess, is a question of money and rights.

        Don't Paradox games outside of their AAA titles (Europa Universalis, HoI, and Victoria) really really suck ass?

          No, Magica has become one of their most successful games either, and Ardania, which is the Magica world, has spawned a few spinoffs. Among them this game. Mount & Blade has done very well for itself too. The rest has had mixed success AFAIK, but not less than that PI has had a huge financial growth the last few years. IIRC, last year their growth was some 60-70% and the year before it was 50%. Btw, I find it interesting that ca 90% of PI's revenue is from digital download according to their CEO. I guess there is better margins there.

          EDIT: Btw ,you forgot the last of their "AAA titles", Crusader Kings. That game kicks ass.

            Hexes! First day purchase.

            Then I'll play it 18 months later after several pay-to-patch expansions have been released.

                Maybe because it is him.

                  Its not. It is the same Voice that did the Narrator in Majesty 2.

                    Atari has the rights, but I'm sick of the Spiritual successor label. LET us, the game players, decide that after the game is released.

                      I hated the fake Sean Connery accent.

                        Sean Connery himself is awesome though.

                          I'm in the beta and other then the game crashing every two hours or so it is completely playable now.

                            I hope they do it justice, nothing can beat MOM, that was one-of-a-kind.
                            We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

                              I believe they have done it justice.

                              I have played a lot of MoM in the last year and the balance is awful. More then once I wished for an updated version of the game with hexes, updated graphics, and better balance but no other changes.
