Master of Magic - Implode's Multiplayer Edition

Hi, I registered to present the documentation and the files for the mod I've been working on: BALANCE AND SPEED (Currently Version 0.9b) HEAVILY BASED ON AUREUS 2.0 MOD - You may call it a modmod. Posted on Realms Beyond forum. That post contains additional information, version history, and the down...

These seem to be good strategies from me and my dad: _6 life books, myrran, warlord, Trolls/Dwarves _9 life books, warlord, high elves/nomad _7 nature books, nature mastery, channeler, conjurer _6 sorcery books, archmage, channeler, conjurer, sorcery mastery (how I beat impossible) _9 chaos books, a...

I'm hopeful in that respect, 2.0 succeeds. If it needs tweaking, I'm more than willing to change things up. _I feel that Nature is missing something at the beginning, I really feel like those war bears (probably the only summons without tohit bonuses) could be cheaper. Supposedly, this is the magic...

Yeah, you fulfilled the potential the game had. This is much more balanced as long as I don't play 11-book games. There are also many less errors and all the new spells are interesting. I may feel that nature is a bit weaker and sorcery is a bit stronger, but I'd have to play each more often to see ...

you guys are beating the game in cheesy ways... Frankly you made some of the races much too powerful and left others with the same disadvantages they had before.. Actually, gnolls/klackons/orcs and various of the weak races got improved significantly. Which races are now too powerful? you said you ...

When do you lose? at the beginning? I think I might try at impossible in this way, might be the best non-11 pick mage? 8 sorcery, sorcery mastery, arch mage, and either conjurer or alchemy. playing with gnolls. Early great start with phantom warrior spamming until I get to nagas. Cast Windmastery an...

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 &quo...

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 (i...

I noticed the 'galley error' appears in this patch.

It's a common error in Master Of Magic where a galley can appear with dozens of skills. It causes many problems including reducing all your resources to 0.

Well, I managed to turn the game around. Minotaurs and Golems are extremely powerful. I found a life book, so I have prayer/heroism. I found the want with the 4 spell binding (I sold it for tons of mana), and considering the mage who declared war being halflings, I attacked with golems. Now, I have ...

Wow, the game is quite hard, maybe it's because I wasn't aggressive until I've gotten the earth elemental, golems, minotaurs and basilisks.

at what difficulty do you normally play? considering not starting 11 books, I can imagine on 'impossible', is 'impossible'. ;)

awesome. Any ideas on how to put sound in the game? (I could get sound in Master of Orion II using dosbox) EDIT: I have sound now. I fixed the problem :) as for my experience. I'm playing on hard, with beastmen with nature books and conjurer. I played a bit badly and got unlucky since there's no eas...

... thanks for the clarifications. Don't worry, if that's how great unwasting works, then it doesn't need to be changed, it seems appropriately devastating. The death spells are balanced too since I misunderstood how the more powerful one worked (I actually never got to use it) I was gonna mention ...

I'm glad you back your points well. It's good seeing you defend the issues I felt were unbalanced with reasons/examples why it would actually help with balance instead. I haven't played with sorcery forever, so I don't remember that much the confusion's usefulness and that creature binding is about ...

thanks for the explanation for poison, is that how it works for firebreath as well? these skills always confused me. This is gonna be a LONG post but it's basically all the feedback I can give on how I feel each race and magic type is. Race-wise, I only called 2 races slightly unbalanced: much bette...
