the barbarians are tough. i just got wiped out by them. only got 1 city established. anyone know how to tone them down? i'm going to play again.

well, the barbarians just wiped out my beutiful city again. i guess maybe beginning strategy is build 4 pikemen, then build up city. i'm going to check the website for strategy tips.

I played a quickstart game, and took my opponents cities over in a few turns. I did play a longer game earlier today, and I really enjoyed some of the features. It's nice that the terrain changes in winter...nasty!

Did you buff your troops with enchantments?

nope. in my current game, i'm surviving, though. i've got a city, a monastory and two heroes.

so, what do you suggest for enchantments?

Have you tried the Age of Wonders series? Specifically Age of Wonders II: Shadow Magic It comes pretty damn close to Master of Magic, but with better graphics, a wonderful AI, tons of user created mods on the website, random map generation, and easily created scenarios. Worth a look.
