Even in it's unpatched state? Heh, the unpatched state is there to make troubles only - better you patch it. :wink:

Yep excellent game
Great review Picard!

Yeah, now you have that jewel of the game here! Have fun with it, anyone!
Btw, my advise is: choose Myrran-ability and take as race the Night Elves, they produce one magic point per population and their ranged units (magicians, clerics etc.) are more powerful than any of the other races.

Also every Dark elf unit has ranged atack. But other Myrran races also are extremly tough. Trols with their regeneration are almost imortal when yuo cast few spels on them. Dragon untis can fly so they don`t need ships.

Is there any way to run MoM more smoothly in DOSbox? I run it and my mouse goes over the letter then about 1- 1 1/2 seconds later it follows creating "lag" *shudder*. My computer is alot better than that :P so I dont know why Im getting some crappy performance. Any assistance?

You can increase the CPU-cycles in DosBox with CTRL+F12 and decrease with CTRL+F11, but don't set them higher than your CPU can handle, else it will be even slower again.
The only other way to play Master of Magic is to run it in the Dos-prompt in Windows 98, but then it's little too fast there, so you'll need Slowdown for Windows: http://newton.pbk-solutions.de/ncu_nbu/slowdown.htm
It won't even run under Windows XP by the sound turned off, I think...

Master of Magic has an absurdly high conventional memory requirement. There is no way you could get it to run under any version of windows because of that. You will need a fairly good computer to get it to run smoothly under DOSBox. I'dd say a 1.2 Ghrz will do the trick.

No other game could drag me to computer like this one, and I played a lot of good games. Still, I guess there some good things when you live in poor country, like the fact that I still got Intell Pentium 133Mhz. Yap, I can play EVERY SINGLE GAME ON THIS SITE. Don't worry, I'll enjoy for everyone. pozzz

Well surely one of the best and most inovative strategy games around as I have rarely heard so many different opinions about the "only" way to win the game!

It is realy sad there was never a real sequal, altough when thinking more closly about it, it might be better that way!

I personally love this game...


All i wanted to say LOL

Picard, i can run it with xp smooth as ever...

I used to play as the Trolls. May not have been the best choice from a strategic point of view, but in unit battles you could often just hit the other guy, run around until you healed, hit them again, rinse and repeat.
