MoM was definately an Iconic game. I got it when it first came out and along with MOO and Chaos Overlords (if anyone recalls that) I thought they were the best turn based strats of their era's I spent literally years playing them along various themes.

My fave MoM thing at the start was racing to curse my starter troops with lycanthropy, I had these little visions of these poor spearmen in the employ of Azac the Dead but having long suffering wives who had to put up with their monthly rampages around the local area exploring, then one day they came home but were werewolves.

And I would spend literally hours doing the reload thing to ensure I got the hero I wanted on the summons. I forget what he was called as I always changed his name but he was this stealthy assassin type and I always summoned him an army of night stalkers to terrorise the country with.

I missed DoM 1, but nuff respect to the designers, DOM 2 has lived up to MoM in every way that a host of games have failed in. I only regret that you cant control battlefield combat. Though I can imagine the nightmares of coding that a good AI take.

I raise my glass to MoM.
