Excellent, I have been holding-off on purchasing "Master of Magic" for a while now but this sounds like a worthy upgrade to "pull the trigger."

Any updates on "Stirring Abyss" that can be shared? I've been playing some older "Cthulhu Mythos" games recently, including the RPG, and this one is on my radar.

20 years in the computer games industry is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations, Slitherine!

My only question is: Is it pronounced slith-er-IN or slith-er-EEN?

Each unit represents a squadron, column or platoon of units and not an individual vehicle.

So presumably if that is moderate strength there is a stronger/more visible setting?

Yes, there is a slider to control hex line visibility from not visible to heavy lines.

I would love to see a modern version of MoM -- even an "Enhanced" edition like what Beamdog has done with the Baldur's Gate series -- but, without access to the source code it is unlikely that anyone will attempt it.

I have a copy I bought on GOG which runs the game, rather clunkily, through DosBox. Does the Slitherine version use DosBox? Or does it run normally in Windows 10?

I am hoping that it has rewritten to not require DOSBox. The GOG version was originally released over 10 years ago(!)

A new DLC for "Master of Magic?!" Wow, I must check that out. I doubt there is anything really new there. They are just charging $3 for a free mod that has been around for a very long while. I was mainly surprised by the re-introduction of MoM for Windows on Steam. It was available on GOG for a dec...

How come that I still can play the beta today? Thought there was a 48 hours limit?!

The 48-hour limit was for the Field Marshal Preview (version 0.9.14). Assuming that you are a closed beta tester, if you unlock and reselect the beta (in Steam) you can continue playing.

- i got one hero after each battle (hope that was temporary.... i liked more the old system) Units can earn Medals during combat. Medals are a permanent part of that unit and are automatically assigned. Your general can also earn Heroes at the completion of a scenario at which point (during Deploym...

I have the same issue with the Field Marshal Preview edition but it is in the reverse(!): When the GB Hvy Infantry on the road southwest of Trondheim attacks me the turn never advances so I have to force quit. Perhaps there is something wrong with that particular unit, like an corrupted animation or...

Save Game: It works just fine!, but...for myself i have little use for the 'AutoSave-function' in that ...it just unecessarily clutters up the 'Save Game' box...which is what i would rather do without. I prefer to make up my own 'Save Game' system. I would like to see an adjustment selector, so tha...

I believe the term "Stacking", in this context, means that each additional allied unit that is adjacent to the target enemy (and has not fired this turn) adds to the bonus. It is not just "Mass Attack" or "No Mass Attack" because the bonus scales with the number of eligible units that can participate.

I'm a turn-based strategy (TBS) gamer and not into real-time strategy (RTS) but this game looks quite fun -- and intense! -- plus the Artistocrats (developers of "Order of Battle") are behind it so that's a big +++!

Will there be a beta program for "Starship Troopers?"

Fantastic news. Can you please also try to acquire the rights for Warlords III: Reign of Heroes and Darklords Rising?

I would LOVE to see some old Strategic Studies Group (SSG) and Steve Fawkner titles re-visited and updated for modern gamers and technology.

I thought there was a hotkey that allowed you to do this: Move an AA unit underneath an aircraft before firing at it? I believe that I just did this in Endseig with a Ctrl-click or something similar. Or, then again, that could just be wishful thinking. . .

Speculation? Personally, I would love to see a Russian campaign.

Two units occupying the same hex may be a graphic glitch. We've seen this in the past. With the game engine Unity being updated issues like this may have returned. Two incidents that I described (above) were related to parachutists jumping into an occupied hex -- which they should not be allowed to...

Three save games from the above incidents. Note that reloading the save game resolved the multiple unit per hex issue by removing a unit or moving it off the map!
