MagicFeather: The didn't make MoM, the are from the Age of Wonders series and Overlord series.
Telika: Yeah, it' just that I see AoW some successor to MoM, as it's similar in many ways. I don't know if there are technical "genealogical" reasons, but it felt like MoM's younger, slightly less interesting brother. I just wish there had been genuine sequels or remakes of Master of Magic...
Age of Wonders isn't the direct successor to MoM so much as its the lovechild of MoM and Warlords. It's not a 4X game, it never intended to be a 4X game, and really I think the comparisons to MoM become a bit overstated. They do become a bit more salient with the second and third games, where you are a wizard in a tower building new cities and putting buildings in them, but in the first one, the similarities are a bit more thin, and in fact "Warlords with spells and tactical combat" might be a better comparison than "MoM's successor"
