Did you buff your troops with enchantments?

Re: OT: Like Master of Magic?
 

nope. in my current game, i'm surviving, though. i've got a city, a monastory and two heroes.

so, what do you suggest for enchantments?

Re: OT: Like Master of Magic?
 

i appear to have won. all the city's are purple.

there's probably a little scout hiding in one of the corner's. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Have you tried the Age of Wonders series? Specifically Age of Wonders II: Shadow Magic It comes pretty damn close to Master of Magic, but with better graphics, a wonderful AI, tons of user created mods on the website, random map generation, and easily created scenarios. Worth a look.

thanks.

AoW is rather stale and does not offer much of a gaming experience. It is far from MoM.

No, you're probably thinking of Age of Empires.

Ok. Taz downloaded game and played Tutorial.

Then Taz played normal game and LOST http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I was able to build up city to about 12000 pop
and had 3 pikemen, a knight, and an archer.

Then in rapid secession was attacked by FOUR stacks of 5-6 barbarians each. Lost city to fourth stack. By rapid, I mean the 4 attacks within about 8-10 turns.

SO ON TO MY QUESTION - how do you handle this situation or did I just get a game that was unwinable? (I had discovered 3 barbarian citys:
One to S,one to NW, one to ENE)

Also the barbarians seemed to know how to get to my city - They seem to make a beeline for it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Should I NOT explore until I am bigger, or would I be attacked anyway?
