The dwarven cannons are still better than the airship or the warship, they deal more damage. Just build them with adamantium weapons, cast Chaos Channels on them to make them fly so not everybody can attack them and invinsibility + some other nice spells, and they'll easily enough take down even the Great Drakes (but not Sky Drakes - immunity to illusions, hehe).

What part of early didn't you read? :bleh:

Airships by themselves are cheaper overall than cannons. They may not be as strong, but for low mana purposes you can go farther. It's a good way to cut down on the marauder's forces.

Heh, amazing. Here I've been playing verson 1.1 (the like 8+ disk version) for the past decade. MoM IS the ultimate turn based strategy game. I swear with everything that's come out in the past 10 years, nothing gets me going like a game of MoM. The thought of MoM II coming out someday has me amused. I'd seriously buy 10 copies just to support the project

I use Dosbox on a Dell XPS Gen2 laptop running winXP with all the service packs. Plays perfect. Fast, and good sound. I use SB original for both midi and SFX. The midi is slightly choppy every so often, but enabling Roland sound seems to slow the game down a bit (especially during screen transitions). Roland sound is 50x better than SB midi though.. so I might just suck it up and endure slightly longer loading times heh. I used to use VDMSound, but it got a bit clunky. Not to mention VDMSound would cause the laptops CPU to go ape (100% utilization), wheras Dosbox uses only 20% or so. Thanks for an awesome site and good memories!!

HI !
I also think that MOM is the best game ever exists. I'm a professional software developer, and I'm deveoping a very similar game on the web (It will be free to play). If anyone interested on testing, write me a mail. gery@c2.hu You can see my previous work here: http://www.visualchat.hu

There is any relation between Civ 2 and MoM? They look to similar.

Actually, there's a relation between Civilzation 1 and Master of Magic, as MoM was made on example of Civilization 1. Civilization 2 came later, after MoM

True: MoM appeared in 1995, and Civ 2 in 1996. One of the worst faults of "Wild Bill" Steadley, who founded and ran Microprose for a number of years, was his inability to understand the value and followup titles--series. The original Civ appeared in 1991, became a huge hit, and didn't capitalize on this with a followup until after Wild Bill had left the company.

M&M was an incredible title. Too bad the AI is so poor!

I started playing this last night, and got so hooked I didn't sleep until 6 am. It took me ages to figre even the basics out mind you, but it was mad good fun.

Thing is, I can't get sound working for the life of me. But i'm just wondering are the sounds worth getting? Anyway, if anyone has any idea how I can get sound then err, please let me know >_> I'm using a Realtrek AC97 audio if it matters.

Sound is not increadably important but it does add a little. What are you using to run MoM? DOSBox? If you let us know we can help you further.

I'm using Dosbox.

There's a conflict in MoM when you set both the music and sound to Soundblaster Pro. Set music to General Midi, adress 330, IRQ 7, and sound to Sound Blaster Pro (Later) with adress 220, IRQ 7 and DRQ 1. Then I guess it should work
