OT: Flowers for the grave of MoM.

[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

Hafling slingers of Doom were awesome! Haflings were great for a giant happy food producing population, but you needed another race for wizards.

I posted the same at ADOM newsgroup a while ago, but someone there told me that MoM works too slow with DosBox. He gave link to an AbandonLoader in return, and it runs both MoM and Betrayal at Krondor. It seems the latter one is harder to get to work...
AbandonLoader can be downloaded from that page, but I haven't tested it myself...
