OT: Flowers for the grave of MoM.

[Minrhael]

Just had to add that I had kept an ancient computer around just for playing MoM, and I just gave it away Last week after deciding Dom2 was finally a sufficient replacement. Nice to have a little more room on the desk now!

Never played MoM, but a lot AoW, one and less the second episode.

Well I enjoyed it a lot, far more than Heroes of Might and Magic (HoMM) because the gameplay is based on armies ... and sadly on SC Ruler ...

I hate SC ... armies does the fight, not single super beasts ... and this is a problem of Dom2 too.

[WraithLord]

For me MOM is still the #1 SP game.
Dominions II is a great great game, just that in SP it tends to bog down to a very slow pace in the end game.
BTW to those of you who loved MOM I recommend to check leylines

One of the coolest aspects of MoM was its heroic fantasy feel. Experienced heroes with some magic stuff and spells became really uber, able to conquer cities on their own.
Spell Chaos Channels was really cool, too. nothing beats mutated fire-breathing halflings
Sadly, strategic AI sucked big time.

My favorite MoM munchkinism was to max sorcery, and then get yet MORE sorcery, plus the relevant skills (concentrator? I forget, been MANY years)in the node battles.

Eventually you could cast sorcery spells at 0% cost. Free that is.

A storm drake every turn in combat... plus god knows what other abuses...forever!!!!

It was silly, but quite a powertrip...

Dom2 is better than MoM, no question.

The possibility of bug fixes alone puts it in a whole different Category.

Blessed are the developers, for they keep all of us happily nonproductive.

Plus if they ever need anything (money, shrines etc.), they have a whole string (forum?) of addicts to hit up.

Is it possible to get a Version of Master of Magic that works for windows xp? I'll check out that site Gandalf mentions.

Halfling Slingers of doom.

They owned nearly every standard unit in the game due to their luck. I love them :-)

If that is what you whish, here you go: Dosbox

Emulates a complete computer that is capable of running most of the older games... I'm using it for Mom, Dungeon MAster and Star Control, also the Last one got some graphical errors
