Master of Magic - Implode's Multiplayer Edition

I wanted to do a quick post to bring an authentic human post to the fore, and also to indicate what's probably obvious by now. My project's production has been on hold. I've got 7 races comprising some 50 units, and plans for much more, including terrain types, more planes, with an absurd number of ...

Well that's a plus. There can't be more than like 100 of the buggers lol.

This is, by all appearances, beyond what anyone can handle manually. I wish there was a way that those real humans here could work to get this all back on track.

Ugh, can we get the kiddie porn links off at least?

Oh I was just kidding. I like all the races to some extent. They're not equal by any means, even by plane, but I like that. http://www.roughseas.ca/momime/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=272 I've got my own project of 8 new races for this system if it ever gets finished, some of which, like the Ogres...

Gnolls are clearly the best. They keep the game challenging with their ineptitude.

Whoa, there were posts under those spambots :)

That sounds like a fun non-11 book strategy. I rarely summon anything other than magic or guardian spirits. Sometimes, when the apprentices and pointy-hatted guards aren't looking, I gaze out of my tower and hardly feel like a wizard at all.

I agree - I bet it would. I wouldn't underestimate the appeal of MoM IME's other features though, which is what I'm much more interested in. In practical terms, there are so few of us around that AI players might make playtesting much more feasible, but I too would rather have functional magic and s...

The game is rather incomplete in a lot of areas. Example: AI wizards will not attack you. The list of things 'to do' on the main page is ample enough to make this not quite ready for playtesting.

Personally, I value certain retorts over magic. I virtually always play as a Warlord just because of the common troop differential between Impossible AI players with their production compared to my own. I like to not lose troops. Also consider that even with the considerable bonuses involved with hi...

Good man Virm. Good man... Thanks for the update and the work you're doing.

Two spaces! That wasn't how I was imagining it, and the AI never moves so intelligently. I read you now Kyrub. Thanks again for your patience :) It is interesting how deliberately they made gaze work in offense and defense and not the others. I'm sure they thought of the cavalry quite literally stan...

Thanks for your patience Kyrub. According to the strategy guide, First Strike allows the unit to resolve an attack before a counterattack is possible. Normally, all combat is simultaneous (barring a number of specials, like gaze attacks, thrown weapons, etc). So your example, I take it, is the stand...

Aureus is around, but I think these critiques go much, much deeper than can be done with file editing. In any case, I like this kind of criticism - very meta. 1. Offensive-only abilities. In your example, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around why the cavalry can't use its first-strike ability t...

Of course, it's not quite 'there' enough to play it really, especially by yourself.
