Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

I see that aureus have some information about hexediting master of magic that we don´t. True, I probably have figured out a few extra things, but I'm far from a hexedit master. I do know another poster kyrub seems to have a great scoop on how to alter spell books and ranks, which I did not know. I...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Someone asked me questions, so I thought I'd put my answers here: 1 - For an example of one of your spell changes; Chill Touch, what does the red byte mean? [Ed. note: by red, the person was asking about the 05 in the bolded part below] You changed it so you must have an idea. I've read it COULD be ...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Bogged down with work, but hopefully I'll be into this again in about a month or two.

In the interim, let me know what you think of 2.0 so I can tweak things if necessary. I love how it plays but I may be overlooking some things.

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Thanks for the advice. I don't think the saved game file info has much use, but the other files (allowing for general changes) will be interesting. I'll have to play around with that sometime. What suggestions are you thinking? I can reflect on them and adopt them into the 2.1 version whenever I get...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

a) You have adressed the inequalities by improving the weak heroes. In my eyes, the heroes are terribly overpowered in the mid-late game, one unit can literally win the game alone, which is boring - therefore I would do the opposite, I'd weaken the strong heroes (or even all heroes). Yes. Rather th...

Re: Fire wall + immolation + firebreathing ?

Just another reason why chaos channels shouldn't be in the game. Oh wait, it isn't .. ;)

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

An incredible LOT of work there, aureus, and I must say, that it's some very interesting reading in the documentation. Klackons missile resistant, what a magnificent idea! On the other hand, I dislike more powerful heroes, because they were game-winners in Mom vanilla... I guess I'll try a game or ...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

The Myrran races are "easier" in that they give more ready access to things a human player can really exploit: invisibility (Night Blades), Flight (Draconian, Manticores), and Regeneration (Trolls). It's arguable, but a human player might also do a better job handling all the special ore d...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Glad some of you are enjoying it. I can't imagine playing 1.31 myself, for the spell corrections alone, but I suppose I'm a little biased ;) Darkpriest667: I don't think you played the version I play with because your comments don't make any sense. As to dark elves, what makes them so much better th...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

I played with Barbarian/Chaos mastery. Beat it quite easily. The chaos creatures are now quite nicer. I've mainly used doombats and chimeras to beat the game quickly. Near the end, I spammed the klackon's special unit which was quite fun to use. Is it just me, or is flamestrike more suited as a &qu...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Do you want to know about small errors like typos too?
Yeah, these in particular.

The other bugs, well, I'm not sure I can do anything about these. They are relics from the 1.31 game.

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

Interesting. I've never encountered it, largely because I don't build ships (no need with large land mass). Hopefully if you just save the game and reload, the "error" should go away. With this patch, the game very rarely gets errors in it. Still, please let me know what type of errors (if...

Re: MOM 2.0 Upload

I usually play impossible, large land mass. Typically I play with no life spell books, and either orcs or klackons (for the ultimate challenge). If you end up starting with 3 AI around you, well, you either win very easily or it's literally impossible to compete with them.

I brought this up in another thread. Use dosbox. You shouldn't have a problem.

Re: Master of Magic Re-revisited

btw, is it possible to do something about the 11-book mages? It's extremely unbalanced with all colors (especially white/black) and now the others would be more due to the cheaper creatures. My suggestion is to pick 2 'uncommon' spells, but not the rare one ... if it can't be coded, then I don't kn...
