Like with Black Isle, but on a lesser scale, Impressions spun off a developer before its death... it's from some guys behind the City Building Series. This is the result -- Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile, a new Impressions-ish City Building game. It looks cool and makes some interesting changes to the old Caesar III formula (that was copied in Pharoah, Zeus, and (the externally developed Chinese-setting city building game published by Sierra) Emperor...), like now houses send people out -- they don't wait for those walkers to come by. Also it's 3d. Looks interesting if you like games like this...
I'd wish that the Lords team also spun something off, but after Lords 2 in '96 they declined... Lords of Magic wasn't that great, IMO, and Lords III is a very different product.
