Master of Magic - Implode's Multiplayer Edition

There are spam accounts on the forums? Comedy, I haven't seen any spam posts - either Implode does an excellent job of keeping the place clean and friendly or the spammers are slacking off

Despite how the original MoM seems to handle fog of war, it'd be excellent for the recommended option Implode talked about to actually have fog of war that obscures vision (only shows what you saw last) if that's not a huge pain in the ass to code - otherwise it loses a lot of meaning (though not be...

Yeah, I feel very much the same way, wish I could help.

GLEE! Glad to hear things are going well with IME - and yeah, I love dawn of war - I think I prefer the original the best (only because they changed the voice and look of my beloved chaos lord (they took away his manreaper scythe!) And in Dark Crusade, several of the factions got new heroes (same un...

What's everyone dabbling in for games while Implode slaves away on his masterpiece, just out of curiosity? I'm loving Dawn of War (plus expansions) at the moment.

egads *monocle pops*

Implode said he would have an option to play IME with a rule set that was faithful to the original if he did any rebalancing - we can see this in effect in his latest release as he gives the game host a myriad of options in terms of game world size, wizard ability picks, etc, but always has "or...

His problem in choosing a custom wizard may be that it involves one more step than the original MoM - I had the same problem for a second when I tried the MoMIME client until I figured out what I was doing wrong. Basically, you have to click one button one more time - in the original, you hit custom...

yeah, guises WOULD be a fun spell in multiplayer, and might make blue more viable in the early game....

I've just never found direct damage spells to be very efficient in MoM. The only exception is the CPU which can afford to dump obscene amounts of mana into its nuke spells since it gets mana for free - but I'll have to try 11 chaos books, I've never tried it before. Would be different and interestin...

Oh right, I didn't think about that, it would let you see battles that are still in fog of war. Thanks again for replying! Interesting bits of information indeed. Also it sounds like the CPU combat will be much more predictable in IME than the original since you're actually making it fight the battl...

I'm not sure how CPU vs CPU combat worked in the original MoM (it was mostly behind the scenes) but I've seen some strange things happen, ie a CPU army consisting of one unit of spearmen enters a node I know is guarded by some powerhouse monsters and come out unscathed. I read somewhere that when a ...

yeah - Implode has said he would have options available so we'd be able to play a "classic" game of mom with the old rules and bugs etc intact if you prefer it that way, or selectively pick what you want to change, etc. One of many reasons why I'm looking forward to IME moreso than actual ...

wall of fire? not sure if it's 4 or 5, but I know it's weak. Even normal soldier units rarely have problems saving against it, it doesn't make a big difference. not very impressive considering it's supposed to be a WALL of fricking FIRE. You'd think that would be quite a deterrent for would be intru...

True.....but how many times have you ever even gotten a chance to cast time stop, let alone gotten the power necessary to upkeep it like that, even with artifacts exploits? if you're in a multiplayer game where that is hapenning the other players must have lost their connection or fallen asleep with...
