Default Re: Favorite games

My favorite MoM spells are Change Terrain and Chaos Channels. I usually played Nomads, or Dark Elves when I wanted to be left alone. The sprites for green magic were totally overpowered because they could fly. For instance, you could send two sprites against a Great Wyrm and since it couldn't hit flyers you could wear it down and steal its goodies or unlock a node before you'd normally be able to. Even if you couldn't clean out the whole battlefied before you ran out of ammo, sprites could almost always retreat successfully so you could wear a site down over time.

Building on the "flyers rule" strategy, I LOVED flying Dark Elf Warlocks. The doom spell could eliminate tough flyers or archers and then the conventional melee units just had to sit there and take damage until you ran out of ammo.

Part of MoM's charm is that it has a lot of valid and enjoyable playstyles.
