Agreed. It wont be an immediate on-launch purchase for me. I will wait and see what the initial reaction are.

I want to say I'll do the smart thing and wait like you, but...well, this *is* me we're talking about.  ::) 

On the other hand, I'm still feeling badly burned by having pre-ordered DW2, so I'm not feeling overly eager to pick up any games on release day anytime soon.  Ergo, actually exercising a little restraint for once definitely seems like the order of the day. 

On the other *other* hand, I can see Master of Magic possibly releasing in time for me to apply my anniversary coupon towards it, so this might turn into a situation where I could have my proverbial cake and eat it too.  :P  We shall see.

I just hope it doesn't come with an astronomical price tag.

^  You and me both, Bawb.  Fingers crossed... 




Dev diary #12 - More adjustments based on beta feedback, and some of the other changes Muha made between the original to the remake: 


http://muhagames.com/master-of-magic-dev-diary-12-july-2022/




Certain spells like "Web" and "Flying Fortress/Fortress of Flying" have been redone.  Likewise, a few special units such as the Hydra have been reconfigured to fit with the game's mechanics.  In addition, a load of work has been done on the AI, especially with regards to diplomatic behavior.  Also, battle maps are now a bit more dynamic.

December 13th release - promising more footage before then

Not gonna lie, I was starting to wonder if the game was still coming out this year.  Happy to see that it is, though.  :) 


Impressions appear to be generally positive thus far.  Sounds like it's both a fun/solid fantasy 4x, *and* a reasonably faithful remake (for those purists who are devotees of the original game).

I've watch a YT vid of the the new game demo and it does look pretty awesome.

Same. 

Sometimes it's nice to not be burdened by nostalgia.  Not that I don't still appreciate it, but then I'm not blinded by it, either.

Yeah.  In the handful of vids I've watched/skimmed, pretty much everyone seems to be enjoying it.
