A couple of third party hacks did manage to enable multiplayer capability, but I don't think they ever overcame in the inability of a defending player to actually control his forces....so basically, the attacker always won, and defense was totally worthless. It tended to strongly distort the game in favor of making sure your units were able to disappear before being attacked at all. All in all, I wouldn't say that the multiplayer hacks did anything to demonstrate balance or lack thereof. While it's true that MOM had a fair number of humorous ways to abuse the AI, the Dominions II AI is just as susceptible to various abusive techniques that fail easily against humans.

Although at least Dominions II doesn't have the 13-book Free Infinite Monster flash mob summoner. Still, for a single player game....balance, schmalance.
