Another nice piece of fictional S P A C E by Tim Barton

AoM = Age of Mythology

AoE2 = Age of Empires 2

CK3 = Crusader Kings 3

HOI4 = Hearts of Iron 4

EU5 = Europa Universalis 5

CIV7 = Civilization 7

Coming soon to Early Access!

Plucked from Reddit

Amplitude is now partnered with Hooded Horse as their publisher

Doing an Early Access model

New planet, Saiadha

Winter is gone. In it's place is something called "tidefall". Throughout the game, waters recede opening up new land to explore, new resources, enemies, etc.

No factions were announced explicitly, but asymmetry and quests are still a focus as are heroes.

Some familiar factions, some new (Trailer seems to clearly show Necrophages and Broken Lords)

Minor factions back

Full control of units in battle(!!)

Units now have active abilities

Terrain in battle still plays a role

Four factions on EA release, two more for full release

No release date yet, kept saying "soon" or "very soon"

Something is at the centre of the world, and it seems to play into an endgame scenario/crisis/quest

Quest system has more of a branching style for each faction, with events now mixed in as well

Pretty excited. Hope this supasses Endless Legend 1 which was a great but flawed game.

OKY, Im not 100% sure I will play one very soon, but Im curious about MMOs in 2025. I used to play WoW around its release and up through Burning Crusade. Hows the MMO landscape in 2025? What are some good MMOs to try if I wanted to give one or two a shot?

I did play other MMOs than WOW here and there. Namely Aion, Guildwars 1 and other smaller ones.

I’m open to trying most types of MMOs and don’t mind subscribing monthly if it’s worth it. I’m especially curious about MMOs besides WoW (which would probably be the obvious choice), but I kind of want to try something different—even if WoW in 2025 is a completely different game compared to 2006

Oh btw. Doesnt need to be a MMORPG could be something like Foxhole or Ark as well. As long as its a game with servers and many players.

Thanks for any input
