New game by Wastelands interactive Worlds of Magic (LINK)
"Worlds of Magic is a turn based 4X strategy game set in a fantasy universe. Like all 4X games it is set on the foundation of: Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate. Worlds of Magic contains all the elements you would expect. City founding and management, unit construction and army management as well as turn based battles. The Worlds of Magic universe is procedurally generated and no two games have to be the same. The universe itself is composes of a number of different “planes” that can all be explored and conquered. In additional to the basic 4X elements Worlds of Magic also includes a deep magic system including spells, summoned creatures and magical artifacts, hero units with specialized talents, capable of wielding magical items and combat mechanics based on the popular D20 system. Players attempt to conquer the universe using a combination of magical, military, economic and even political power. Worlds of Magic is meant to be a true spiritual successor to the PC classic Master of Magic."
Main features:
• 4X deep playability - Explore, exploit, expand and exterminate in a world of magic, diplomacy, and war.• D20 System - Units, Spells and Heroes will all draw from the D20 rule set during the battles.• Hero Units - Recruit heroes to lead your forces into battle.• Twelve Spell Circles - Focus on depth in a single school, or gain the ability to cast incredibly diverse spells.• Unique Races - Each race offers the ability to create exclusive units, with peculiarities, weaknesses and strenghts, but also balanced.• Settle Powerful Cities - Control production, research and even magical power, in order to create powerful armies.• Multiple victory conditions - War is not the only way to conquer the world; make treaties, establish trade routes or use peace as a tool for domination.
Time will tell. I think we are talking about very small dev here...
Hi
The Worlds of Magic is moving forward, and at the beginning of the next week we should have some new nice images of the world map.
Now just some concept and a developers video about the evolution of the battleboard.

I’m hoping that you will help us bringing the old good times of PC gaming back.
I see you met my 6th grade teacher.
without proper graphics, i am afraid this really isn't going to go anywhere.
Hey there, people! How is it going?
Finally we can show progresses on the World Map. Some elements have been added, and of course water has changed a lot since your last visit, lol. Hope you like it.
95% at the moment!

time will tell ....
When I see the screenshots I think of a lowbudget TBS whereas Age of Wonders III is a highproductionvalue TBS.
What will make it or break it for me is the retaliationrules. If they are like in Master of Magic and Age of Wonders then it's not for me.
I need it to be like in Age of Wonders II/Age of Wonders Shadow Magic where you can drain enemies retaliationstrikes. That improvement alone was absolutely critical. It made hightier units (especially with enhancements) less powerful if you could drain their retaliationstrikes (linked to movementpoints. It might not make sense in my explanation but it worked great!)
How long AoW 3 is in development already?
Can't find the info on their official forum but atleast two years. Release in Q3.
So now you know the reason of the quality difference
Hi there!Today we can say we surpassed the 35K GBP stretch goal! So the seven faction is a reality too, soon we will ask the community (aka YOU) about what faction will be the next . Also, now it is possible to pledge via PayPal. Of course paypal pledges will count for the new stretch goals! http://store.esellerate.net/s.aspx?s=STR2943433056
I hope the final game graphics will be better. These screenshots look like they are from a 10year old game. I don't expect Civ5 graphics but it needs to be better then this.
Hello All.We have broke the 40k stretch goal tonight, and with 29 hours left we can try to hit the 45k, which is additional race and Linux and Mac version available at the release date.http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/304725524/worlds-of-magic-a-new-classic-4x-fantasy-gameThanks for your support, spreading the word and for backing us.You can still give us a hand, and help making this game greater.
