Elemental Magic for George RR Martin fans

[Galaril]

I saw the preview for the new Stardock Turn-based Strategy game due out in early 2010. Brad the developer is a big Fire and Ice fan and has crafted a game that sounds like it will be a TBS game in the land similar to Martins and also have a rich alliance, marrriage, vassal system. To me it sounds like Martin meets crusader Kings meets Civ IV.

The discussion then transitioned into gameplay, and it's here where Wardell revealed that the game is influenced by George R.R. Martin's fantasy novels, particularly when it comes to diplomacy.

Can't wait for this one. I know they originally were shooting to make Master of Magic 2 but ran into some issues getting the license and the project evolved into this.

I listened to Brad discuss the game on the Three Moves Ahead podcast(highly recommended podcast for anyone who is into strategy or warganes) a few weeks back and they're planning some really interesting stuff.

there's also the upcoming Cyanide ASOIAF-branded game coming too let's not forget.

I read the preview earlier today. It sounds awesome.

Based on Cyanide's work on Blood Bowl, I am no longer too excited about the prospect of this game.

i suppose. i'm willing to give it a shot.

i have a feeling ASOIAF-modders will have a field day with this though...at least I hope. But that'd probably involve modding out all of the "magic." I wonder how easily that could be done.

There's also the Westeros: Total War mod that I am on the team of (yay Westeros Total War). Speaking of which...I need to sack up and work on that tonight.

I agree.
