Thanx a lot for this info.
I hit this forum by accident during a spare 5 minute surfing and I did not know about the yahoo-group. Regarding dev: I think the platform (old MS) is very deprecated - not to mention the occasional backward compatibility problems of MS products.
That is why I think a rewriting should be targeted.
Commercially I think Open Source way is not that successful (being not really commercial), but concerning developing it is often progressive. And it wold worth checking out some GPL-ed engine.
Anyhow, I do not think that a very modern engine is required.
I recall Heroes of Might and Magic: III is more modest than the later ones, but the later ones are less impressive, playable for me.
Baldur's Gate - Was it a Troika game?
