As you may already know from the Home of Wargamers 2021 Live+ event, Slitherine is working on new exciting titles! Here are 4 such games that are coming soon to GOG.COM:

Broken Arrow is a large-scale real-time modern warfare tactics game that combines the complexity of a joint-forces wargame with real-time tactics action-packed gameplay.

Master of Magic is a remake of a classic RPG where you take up the role of one of 14 unique and diverse great wizards who compete with each other to dominate two fantastic worlds.

Scramble: Battle of Britain is a simultaneous turn-based dogfighting game set in a 3D airspace, that features fast-paced, tactical combat with dynamic flight physics.

Starship Troopers - Terran Command is a thrilling RTS set in the Starship Troopers movies universe. Take command of the Mobile Infantry and fight against the Arachnid threat!

Also, remember that you still have 48h (until 13th May 2021, 5 PM UTC) to grab your free copy of Master and Magic Classic when pre-ordering Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector on GOG.COM!

Cool, that only leaves Distant Worlds 2 to be confirmed. :)

Nice seeing slightly more obscure games getting remakes, interested to see how they shake up master of magic.

That being said... Please don't screw it up

Master of Magic might have role-playing elements, but it's a turn-based strategy game, not an RPG.

I feel curiosity but not enthusiasm for this remake. Other than the interface, the original gameplay mechanics stand extraordinarily well and I fear they might turn things worse. Specifically by going the one-unit-per-tile route which was the downfall of Civilization (it's hard to tell just by the screenshots).

Master of Magic : Well at least i can play the original on my potato .

Scramble: Battle of Britain : Minimum 32 GB RAM ? Is this a game or another benchmark tool ?

Too bad all coming games are Windows-only.

A Starship Troopers game that has the potential to be actually good? Fuck yes!

Yeah, that Master of Magic remake/reimagining has got me curious but wary at the same time.

Was it? I've never been a fan of the old stacks-of-doom BS.

Even Jon Shafer, lead designer of Civ V and responsible for the switch to 1upt, has admitted it was a mistake. By shoehorning a tactical feature into the whole strategic map they had to modify too many things with suboptimal decisions. It also had the side effect that they were never able to teach the AI how to play with the new rules.

I don't really have a problem with stacks of doom. I just call them "armies". ;) Anyway, you can always implement a support limit or an attrition feature. The original Master of Magic allows a maximum of 9 units per tile, which is enough to deploy an army.

An RTS Starship Troopers?

Talk about missed opportunity... *facepalm*

Well, yeah, in MoM it made sense since there also are the tactical battles rather than the silly back-and-forth slugfest of the old Civs.

I hope they don't muck it up and the Starship Troopers game stays true to the movie. Yes, movie. Let's just pretend they never made sequels and all's good.

Wishlisted for now.

I would rather like a ST game that follows more the book, not the movie.

Right, I completely forgot the movie was based on a book. :)
