WTF ? Dom2 already knocked MoM out of the throne !

MoM, for its time, had better graphics and a diplomacy system (human and AI that is. And understandbly simple but again lets take into account the time it was released.)

I played MOM Last week, and I noticed that the hero portraits and the battle graphics are actually superior to Dom2's - let alone Dom1.

The units are colourful, very well-drawn and despite the much lower resolution you get a better idea of what is going on (e.g. a paralysed unit turns grey. In Dom2 you have to guess why it is not moving).
And the global spell pix are funky! (Zombie Mastery anyone?).

Mom's map graphix are worse though; the AI cheats like nobody's business - and has to since it is braindead. GUI is perhaps a bit better than Dom's.

But the diplomacy is useless since the AI's all tend to be psycho's. 'We have the same outlook on life; we are both at war against the evil Shrraaa; you've paid tribute for the Last 10 turns. Of course, you know this means war. DIE!'.

Better to have no diplo to having useless diplo.
