onarliog: Get your facts straight. It is not "just" a graphical update. They also randomly sprinkled a few thousand bugs into the source code so that the player can enjoy the suspense of an imminent crash after each turn. The hint is in the name.

LiquidOxygen80: It's nowhere near as bad as it was at launch. There's been a large amount of patching done since then.
So... does it work fine now? I see some reviews from last year still complaining.

HunchBluntley: Last night I found this(which has had some recent activity, but which seems to be focused mostly on MotBW) when searching. Not sure how much that helps.
Thanks! Bookmarked the thread.

As of the last series of patches, I experienced no bugs on an i5 4570 with a GTX 760. I DID experience some things I originally thought were bugs, but were, at the time, my own misunderstanding with regards to how the game actually works/worked.

So, in my opinion, it's worth purchasing and you will get your money's worth out of it.

Crewdroog: grr, I was all excited until i saw turn based and strategy. lol but i am glad you found something awesome to play :)
I was like that since I was a kid, anything but TBS. I guess I'm getting old because I recently got in to TBS. It still has to be just the right game, but I always liked Xcom. I really got into Enemy Unknown and Within recently and I realized that I actually don't mind TBS. I think what turned me off was an RPG when I was really young on the original NES. It was the first and last TBS until I played Xcom. I had it so burned into my head I don't like them that I didn't even realize Xcom is a TBS. I started getting them and have quite a few in my GoG collection now, but I have yet to play most of them even though I plan to.

Oh I think another thing that made me get into TBS a year or two was that I started getting into games that are kind of in between like Star Wars KOTOR and WoW to a lesser degree. I was really looking for some good RPGs with angels and demons, and realized all the best ones were TBS.

Eador is a perfect example... I have both of them and haven't tried either of them.

HunchBluntley: Just so you're aware, Masters of the Broken World is apparently "just" a 3D remake of Genesis, not a sequel. Kind of like what Mount & Blade: Warband did for Mount & Blade, only more so.

OldFatGuy: Oh, I didn't know that. Well, geez, I just gave bad advice then suggesting a person might try the second one.

Huh, I only read a couple of the reviews and didn't see or didn't remember either mentioning that.

Well darn. So basically it's the same game with upgraded graphics? Well, I suppose it's possible the upgraded graphics might do it for some folks. I tend not to care too much about graphics. Although there is one game I tried playing and just...... couldn't. Sid Meier's Colonization. Man I couldn't even tell the difference in the units or ship types the graphics were so bad on that one.
It's a pretty significant upgrade. I personally bought both of them because they looked different enough that I thought I would play through both at some point. That and I always complete my game series when they're on sale for next to nothing. If you read through the second one's page you'll see it's a remake, I haven't looked at it in a while but I seem to remember them clearly stating that.

Either way, check it out, you may be willing to buy it if it's on sale because it is pretty significantly upgraded.

I was able to purchase both titles during recent sale, so there is no changes of plans for looking at it after new year.
