If by current fantasy game, you mean Demigod..... "not-MoM" is not being developed by the same studio. Stardock is just producing and distributing it.

I believe he was referring to the game not as yet named. I seem to recall Stardock has been directly involved in the development of that one, not just producing and distribution (since they are taking and using people who may/will be working on Galciv III).

The game not-mom ('elemental') IS the current game developed by stardock and will be go in beta in first half 2009. The other one -demigod- will be only distributed by stardock.

I think they'll handle it like GC. Each one who preorder the game is automaticaly in the beta test.

I guess my sleepy wording was unclear. I was in fact saying that "Demigod" is just being produced and distributed by Stardock, and that it's not the same studio that is developing "Elemental" (which is of course a Stardock internal project, and on a timeline completely unrelated to the dev timeline for Demigod).

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that would be accurate then.

I am both happy and saddened.
On the one hand it looks like it will be a game worth getting.
On the other hand it is definetly NOT going to be a new MoM so I am still holding out hopes that someone will recreate "Master of Magic"

Ironically, MoM was about the only fantasy strategy game I've never played. So I have no referent compare this to. Still, the graphics look pretty awful for a game that is supposed to come out in 2010 (which may be optimistic, given the endless delays that usually accompany big game releases).

Another preview--but this one has no new pictures:
