  • More on Sid's next game - Pirates/Masters of Magic

    Does anyone here like Pirates!? Does anyone here like Masters of Magic?
    That is what Sid said a Gencon. It looks like that is what they will use the NetImmerse engine for. He also said that an official announcement is over a month away. This means we should know by October.

    Just because me mentioned Pirates and MoM doesn't mean it won't contain elements of X-COM and Settlers like originally planned.

    Hmmm, well only a month to go to find out!
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          What was the story behind MoM? Any chance his new game could be some combination of MoM gameplay and Pirates game play? That would seem to me why he would mention both.

            Saturday, IIRC.

            I think that is the idea. It will be a Pirates/MoM type game possibly based on a X-COM/Settlers hybrid.

              I don't like MoM. Too complicated, inelegant. Pirates! is interesting, I don't see how it can be combined with XCOM, or MoM for that matter.

              If you meant by adding small scale tactical combat with RPG elements to an empire building game in a fantasy setting, it can go both ways. They can't possibly have the player to resolve all combats on a tactical scale because that will be way too many combats. One stratgic turn will last for several months in real time.

                      There's been a news item posted on the front page of CivFanatics about this for a couple of days.

                      What do you mean you never go there?

                      If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

                          Only someone who has been in the outback for 10 years would wait for MOM2. A true gamer would only wait for Stella Polaris.

                          And after this compulsory propaganda...

                          Civ IV is what I wait for, if there's one to come, as that's not for sure. But there will be one, then there's about 5 more years to go for a new Civ sequel.
