Stardock's Fantasy/Strategy Plans

The Stardock Interview Part 2 on Shacknews talks further with Brad Wardell of Stardock about how his PAX experience and about games, including Gas Powered Games' Demigod and Stardock's upcoming fantasy-themed strategy game, which Wardell says may be formally announced in November: "We're going to be formally announcing it--the team promises me in November, which means I can't promise that. But it's a turn-based fantasy strategy game. It's essentially--imagine Civilization with magic, in terms of general, broad play style. I mean, it's a lot more than that, because I'm a Civ fanatic--no pun intended, great site--but there's a really good mod for Civilization IV that lets you do magic and stuff. Obviously it's a lot more than just Civ with magic."

What about the mother of them all? Master of Magic. That is still my favorite in the genre.

HoMM 4 and 5, with Addons
- Age of Wonders 1,2,3

Yeah, I meant the latest HoMM which is 5 not 3, and I own. (4 was terrible by all accounts) And how did I forget Age of Wonders??!?!

The last ones I can even remember are Heroes of M&M 3 and Disciples
- HoMM 4 and 5, with Addons
- Age of Wonders 1,2,3
- Fantasy Wars

Ok, not that many but still, there are some. Kings Bounty comes in mind, due to release next month, i think.

It sounds like he's putting out a 2008 update of SSI's classic Fantasy General!

There have been far too few TBS Fantasy games. The last ones I can even remember are Heroes of M&M 3 and Disciples. Oh yeah, and Warlords. I am eager to find out what this game is.
