Just heard about a game called Songs of Silence (not to be confused with the other recent similarly named HoMM like's Songs of Conquest and Silence of the Siren lol) over in the Master of Magic communities as it's kinda MoM like too however it's definitely more in the HoMM and Age of Wonders direction though but with different kind of tactical battles that swing more in the real time kinda Heroes Hour style. Instead of clicking spell casting or buy unit/building buttons you click on cards and the game features huge amounts of gorgeous fantasy art work in a rather different style to what we usually see. The world map looks gorgeous!

Looks like they're about to do a Kickstarter... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chimeraent/songs-of-silence
Hmm well that's unexpected.. I thought the thing was just about to be released!
Looks like they explain why on Steam.. https://steamcommunity.com/games/2195410/announcements/detail/4015590568655033645
Oh and I found all their dev diaries too.. Dev Diary #1 — Cards of Faith

Kickstarter has begun.. and they've already hit the target lol! That was fast!.. less than a day. Although it wasn't a huge amount and I don't see stretch goals. So I think they were a bit too conservative and missed a valuable opportunity to earn more money to help the game via either a higher goal or post 100% stretch goals. The fact that they even needed this Kickstarter shows they realised they weren't going to financially survive until game release so there was no need to ask for so little when there's clearly THIS level of goodwill and excitement for their work but oh well... I've seen kickstarters add stretch goals later so maybe they'll do the same when they realise they could have made way more lol. I can see in their KS roadmap they even mention "fulfill stretch goals" yet I still can't find any on that KS page... weird..

It seems even you got confused with these incredibly similarly named HoMM inspired games, Blake01 I believe your latest post should have been in Silence of the Siren thread.
Btw. I have wanted to make this meme for some time now. Hope you guys like it

Hahaha very good! Oh man.. sorry guys.. I guess I was bound to do it sooner or later which all these similar names haha. Have moved the post to where it's supposed to be and posted a new update over in that thread too as they're doing some cool stuff!
As for these guys they've started early access and have been posted lots of updates over the month since.
