Default Re: OT: Master of Magic 2 - now looking quite likely

MoM is very different than Dom2. But I usually feel safe in telling people who still have Stars! and Master of Magic on their machines, that if they love those then they should try Dom2. The similarity is hard to point out.

I think that they all were popular because you didnt feel like you were learning the strategies that the game writer had in mind when he wrote the game. You can create your own personal nation which can play best using the tactics YOU come up with. Its the pre-game design which actually makes a difference and isnt just changing what color of cloak you wear.
Oh yeah, there is also a game on the shrapnel site called Space Empires IV which is pretty good for that.

But of all of them I think Dom2 has done it best (so far)
