So many people talk about Master of Magic in glowing terms. It will be interesting to see what this game can do on its own terms.

So this is a game released by the guys who did worlds of magic...which is still pretty much not finished so instead they decided to move on to this.

Not to impressed.

Its the same game as the developer just renamed it to Planar Conquest.

So unless it's been heavily patched and fixed I recommend no one buy it.

Or they have learned a big lesson in game development.
I hope they did but we shall see. It's also a free update for previous buyers.
It has been stated in another pinned thread but I will underline again: every owner of Worlds of Magic will receive Planar Conquest for Steam for FREE, when it's released. That means the full game. After that, WoM will be discontinued. The overall goal is to achieve maximum harmonization between all PQ versions: mobile, Windows and consoles. Console version is being made with the help of Teyon. We are consulting with them, but it's mostly in their hands. In the long run, we want to at least be able to transfer saves between platforms. For those wondering about the GOG version: I'm not in the know about this but I think the game didn't pass their review system. I'd assume that when PQ is done, we will try again.
They also did a new Q&A on explorminate.

Honestly, don't give a crap if they did. I backed the main game and paid for all future DLC which there seems to be none coming now.

This game I get free though, yay me.
