Master of Magic
Master of Magic.
Do I have to say anything? A real Classic. I spent many weeks before the screen. Amazing visuals: summoning animation, magical effects. Deep tactics in battle, deep strategy on adventure map, city management, rpg elements, lots of spells, two map levels... shall I continue?
Do you remember?
e.d.
for those mortals, who haven't even heard about it: wikipedia

Re: Master of Magic
Yes, SS'ra was cheating, starting in prohibited world, casting Armageddon and crashing the game!
Else great game, if you manage to win before, which wasn't so hard...
(This all, of course, apply only if you was talking about Master of Magic by Microprose)

Easily because it's abandonware now. very very long... in some way this is ancestor of King of Bounty, ancient DOS relic. Fairly best over many modern game by its concept. (Even H5, without problem...)

One of the best games ever made! I heard the rumour that StarDock (GalCiv I & II) might do the sequel too.

Age of Wonders games, while at first promoted as the 'new' HoMM, were actually the spiritual successors to the Master of Magic. A brilliant game, much better than Civ in my opinion but a little too easy to win. The key is a simple five letter word: mages...
One of the games I'd love to get my hands on its sequel..

Fantastic game - one of the best I've ever played. Still sometimes I play it, but with a bit modded unit stats - the summoned units in original game were too weak and therefore a bit useless. I chose the "waiting for a new version" option, but I'd choose two options (also "still playing") if I could.
If it comes to Sss'ra: I used to start in Myrran and crash Sss'ra as soon as possible. With the whole Myrran with its extremely powerful nodes, it was a piece of cake to crash those who played in Arcanus. Sometimes I did not choose Myrran to save 3 picks for additional spellbooks (two were already lost for Warlord) and then I tried to capture any tower and move to Myrran as soon as possible. That was a rather difficult strategy, however.

In my last game I was basing on Hammerheads (or was they Hammerhands?) but conquering a node in Myrran was usually very difficult. The sorcery ones were easiest, but still I've got whole Myrran under my cities and most of the nodes unveiled. And then - the surface contest.Boromir wrote:If it comes to Sss'ra: I used to start in Myrran and crash Sss'ra as soon as possible.

Sorcery - easiest? I would rather say "hardest". The Sky Drakes were extremely poweful due to their magic immunity and huge speed (4).jaq wrote:In my last game I was basing on Hammerheads (or was they Hammerhands?) but conquering a node in Myrran was usually very difficult.

And yes, hammerhands were great, but for the most powerful nodes usually you had to train best heroes (from Summon Champion spell): Warrax, Alorra and Mortu + Ravashack if you played death or Roland + I_don't_remember_her_name if you played life. In the second case you could also use Thorin the Chosen (there was a special spell for him).
