The folks at Ironclad (the team behind the excellent Sins of a Solar Empire) have released three new screenshots from their upcoming game Sins of a Dark Age which is their spin on the MOBA genre.  Their take involves adding additional RPG and RTS elements which dramatically change the flow of the game.
