WoM are on Desura already (though with Steam-shit attached...).

Monday GOG release?

gOg do not do alpha/betas yet. As far as I know, it is still in that stage. The reason why it has the "steam shit" is because it is released on Early Access there.

I'm happy as long as Master of Magic sits at the top of my shelf.

Unholy Gods of Abyss! I'm such an idiot that I should kill myself against the wall... :)

Yes, it's only Early Access. But nevertheless - I wait for it here on GOG. So far it looks VERY promising.
Although AoW3 looked promising too... :( But in reality it turned into quite unbalanced, unpolished and money-sucking thing.

Unlike AoW3, Worlds of Magic is unapologetic in its copying of what came before it. It's Master of Magic with better graphics and a slightly slower pace. There are still a few things about it that need to be improved, so if you can wait until release, by all means do so. Be patient; it looks like it will be worth the wait ^_^

Design by false mirror image trickery is what it is ! pheh !

Will be following WoM, seems neat.
