This game looks awesome.
Its strange I wasn't aware of it up until now, given that I usually scourge the web searching for MOMish games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thanks for posting this.

Indeed, I really cant wait for the beta. I think this game will be released on the fall or winter. So we gonna have HoMM 5, Dominions 3, and this....what can I say? Awesome! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm surprised more developers haven't moved towards making a sequel of MoM... or a similar game of the type considering all the praise MoM gets in the forums.

Some good news... Stardock might be making the official sequel for MoM.

Well Age of Wonders I. and II. was very close to the old MoM.

PS. Its apr. 25, but the beta of HoAE is still not out!! I was checking the site like 10 times today so far.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Unless I'm mistaken, that's old word : 1-2 years back there was talk about Stardock having picked up the MoM license, but it didn't happen. Given what they've done with GalCiv2 though .... Heavily moddable MoM anyone? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Heroes of Annihilated Empires open beta!
 

There are actually a number of MoM projects in SourceForge which I keep an eye on. There is an official site for keeping track of all of the MoM 2 projects, and a petition to get an official MoM2 made. Here is a good starting point.

If any of them ever look like a decent version hitting beta then I will stear them toward Shrapnel. But so far they all get close then ruin it by extensive modifications into a new game (such as leylines) or by trying to make it multiplayer.
