Some new information is coming out on a future Fantasy TBS 4X game called Warlock – Master of the Arcane. The game is set in the same world as the Majesty series. There isn't lots of information out, but we do have some WIP screens and concept art. The weird thing to me is that they are saying Q2 2012, but there doesn't even seem to be a site for the game yet, just a tiny forum at Paradox.
Anyways, I really like the Majesty games, although they have never lived up to their billing of 'Fantasy Kingdom Simulator' and are really more 'Hero Influencing Simulators.' I really wish that those games would expand the 'Kingdom Simulator' bit to provide a wider range and depth of gameplay. The idea of a 'Fantasy Kingdom Simulator' has always been one of the things I have wanted Elemental to be.
1C has a strong list of games including Majesty, King's Bounty, Men of War, and others. Not sure about the exact studio doing this game.
I'll be interested to see how this develops. The more the merrier, I say!
The below link is for one of several small articles out there, and includes a gallery of screen shots.

On my "to buy list" along with a few others.
Since i first commented in this thread, I've played Warlock 100% more than FE. I really really want to love FE, but I can't. I'm sure it's me, but whatever. All I need to know is I want to play Warlock whereas I keep having to push myself to consider FE.. and then don't.
Oh, and Warlock 2 will be out April 10th for those interested.
Uh? looks good! Was not even aware of the existence of that game. Another thing that is trying to get my attention away from the all important GalCiv III Alpha
