Regarding the AI in short.
In those types of games it is pretty simple to make the right AI.
I'm not saying outstanding, sneaky, cunning. I'm just saying that first of all we are going to make AI capable to use all the features implemented in Worlds of Magic, as I'm sure that adding a feature which AI is not able to use is a bad idea.
Then we will add some personalities and behavior modules, so each AI will be capable to choose different way and on the top of that each AI is going to have some short and long term desires. Those could depend on the current military and economy situation, random events and diplomacy.

Some basic info about the game you can read in the RPS news

True Master of Magic Joins Worlds of Magic Team!
Update #7 · Apr 15, 2013 · 16 comments
Greetings our “Oh so cool” backers! We have some big news for you guys today! We are very, very excited about it.

George Edward Purdy, known for his work on both Master of Orion and Master of Magic has graciously accepted the position of Lead Artist for Worlds of Magic!

What does this mean for the game? First, it proves we're heading in the right direction. George took a good long look at the project before he agreed to join our ranks. He liked what he saw because what he saw was the spirit of Master of Magic. Worlds of Magic is going to be a true successor. He believes that and decided to help us make it happen!

It also means that the artwork of Worlds of Magic is going to be as classic, elegant and beautiful as the artwork in Master of Magic. (Even more so if George has his way.) His illustrations will be featured in the art book and digital artwork and, of course, his signature will appear on any signed materials as well :)

Sounds very, very interesting. The big DRM stop sign make its look like the chances are good for a gog release :)

edit:
From the RSP Interview: Yeay! :)

Thanks to the great community, the game is already funded.
With one more week to come, we are heading to the first stretch goal

Will you join the ride and share the Magic?

66 hours to go now. You gotta love how crowd funding is allowing these games to get made. They have retro aspects but take advantage of newer technology. Bypassing the publishers who only want guaranteed high sellers so churn out sequels and clones. Proving there is still a market for these types of games by directly appealing to potential customers. I approve most strongly. :D

21 hours to go! I have to the know the following:

1) Will this game be available on GOG?

2) Is this game like Heroes of Might and Magic or am I mistaken?

You can also get three games from Wasteland by paying what you want:
Strategic War in Europe
World War 2: Time of Wrath
Storm over the Pacific
As far as I understood this, you have to add an additional amount to the amount of the level you pledge for (there is also something like this with additional add-ons :-/). So because I am not interested in the Magic game, I'll likely pledge 0+X.

They planed have lots of dlc= gog say no ?

You mean like Strike Suit Zero?

GOG don't like DLC, even if it's free?

No free dlc for WoM im sure for 99,1% :P Maybe if they make dlc pack(and call it expansion?). WoM will be like Warlock or Crusader Kings II (with 5+ dlc).

If it's even closer to Master of Magic than AoW:SM, that'll be a win.

Check Fallen Enchantress with Stormworld mod (almost like MoM) and Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes before WoM :D

New video for the game has been recently uploaded
