Your first MM7 party

[Matt.J]

Fond memories ensue.

I will never forget my first batch of party members, even their names, though it's been a good ... 9 years or so.

Knight - Black haired Dwarf - "Lord Matt"
Knight - Grey haired Dwarf - "King Shawn"
Paladin - Deep voiced Goblin - "Master Pat"
Ranger - Blond Dwarf(?) - "Lady Aleshia"

Ironically enough, the names are after the people I played the game with in my youth -- we managed to turn MM7 into a multiplayer in a very crude way.

EDIT: I still consider MM7 to be the greatest game of all time, although when I try to convince others ... usually the graphics debate gets in the way

MM7 was the first game I've played (MM unuverse).

I started standart party:
Knight
Thief
Cleric
Sorcerer

[DarthVadre]

I don't remember. I played MM6 first, and I don't even remember that party. I remember I started with a Dark Elf in MM8.

[Storm-giant]

First M&M game I played was M&MVIII; as for M&MVII I choose the default one->Knight, cleric, thieft, sorceress. Was easy.

[Macros the Black]

I played MM6 first, with a Knight, Knight, Archer, Archer.. Suffice to say it was a very hard game

[InvisibleTerror]

I also played MM7 before any other MM games (MM8, MM6 and MM1 for a while).

I was too young to make up any interesting names (it was October 2001 when I first played MM7 and my English was even worse back then) and my party was: Knight Zoltan (Goblin), Monk Roderick (Human), Cleric Serena (Dwarf) and Sorcerer Alexis (Elf).

Why did I choose Monk? Just because a game mazagine the game was covermounted (I hope you know what I mean) to said he'll be the best fighter after some time playing and training. But I'm not too much convinced about that...

And I also remember the magazine from September saying MM7 is going to be in the next edition in October and me thinking whether buy it or not. But finally, I've made the right decision. :-)

[Deyja]

This was my first party and it was actualy too hard for me in the beginning but later it was ok, only problem was the stone & instand death abbillity's of titans & Medusa's

Knight Zoltan (Goblin)
Knight Dwarf
Archer Elf
Thief Human

[GrayFace]

Don't remember any of my first parties. But I remember some feelings of the first time. It was so different

[Phobos]

Mine was Knight, Cleric, Sorcerer, Sorcerer. The game was a bit tricky in the beginning but when the characters improved in magic, it got really easy.

[Lord13]

I used the "clasic" party at my first MnM 7 experience:

Goblin Knight (Male)
Human Thief (Male)
Dwarf Priest (Female)
Elf Sorcerer (Female)

Is the easiest combination I think. I have finished the game
after with more combinations ofc, and 1 attempt for solo-mode
(Druid), was boring thougt the solo

I will never forget my first batch of party members, even their names, though it's been a good ... 9 years or so.

I can't honestly say I remember my characters names, but I'm pretty sure I went with the default party (Goblin Knight, Human Thief, Dwarf Priest, and Elf Sorcerer).

I just started a new game, actually.

Agerakei, the Female Goblin Knight
Taqifa, the Female Human Thief
Branogh, the Male Dwarf Druid
Sunrain, the Female Elf Sorcerer

I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to structure my party this time around. I wanted a druid for GM Alchemy, and I initially considered swapping out a sorcerer to make room, but then I realized that I wouldn't have access to Lloyd's Beacon, which made it a non-starter.

Ironically enough, the names are after the people I played the game with in my youth -- we managed to turn MM7 into a multiplayer in a very crude way.

Heh. I first played it during my sophomore year at college. There were three of us playing it at the same time, and we had a friendly competition to see which of us could finish it first. I don't remember who "won," but I know that I went through the evil ending, while my friend/roommate went through the good ending.

I'm torn. MM7 was the first Might and Magic game I played, and I still love the skill system. I also really like MM6, but since I played that after its sequel, a number of interface limitations sort of bug me about it. Things like "turn on exit" and the lack of auto-run annoy me (thankfully both fixed in GrayFace's patch), or the inability to manage inventories while in a store. But I prefer the story to MM6, and I think the dungeon design is probably the best in the entire series. On the other hand, I think the overworld design in MM7 is much better than in MM6, so that's a bit of a wash, I guess.

And then there's World of Xeen.... Oh, I can't decide!

[Lord of the Guns]

My first MM7 party was
Male Human Knight
Female Elven Ranger (i never played MM6 before so i had no ideal how different Archer and Ranger was.. well after i realized that, Archer replaces Ranger)
Female Dwarven Wizard
Male Human Cleric

i can't remember their name though. it was long, long time ago

[Sure Valla]

my first mmVII party:
Goblin Knight
Goblin Knight
Elf Sorcerer
Dwarf Cleric

which i also choose as the BEST starters party



and mmVII was the first i played, later mmVI and mmVIII
and mmIX and mmII etc

[klaymen]

Human knight
Human rogue (the default one)
Elf cleric
Elf sorcerer (again the default one)

[Sure Valla]

elf cleric?

[klaymen]

Yep, elf cleric. I know, it's a weird combination, but it was my very first MM experience, so I tried it.
