[Omuletzu]

I was searching for games to que to my dl list yesterday, and i came across this great gem : Lords of Magic
Rings a bell? It should, it's a great game that i'm sure many of you have played.Still don't remember it?
Get info here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,3/gameId,2082/

I don't have the game yet, but i will soon(i hope) :w00t: :sneaky:

[Eagle of Fire]

I have the Special Edition sitting right next to me. ;)

[BlackMageJawa]

Hmm, there's a rip version of it on HOTU. I'll have to give it a look.

[Yamcha]

Can't find it but if I do i'll tell you :max:

[The Niles]

Does anyone have some screenshots for it? I would love to see them.

Thanks

I remember playing that game at a friends house. AWESOME game!

[Eagle of Fire]

It is, unfortunatly it has an extremely low replay value because of the fixed map... :not_ok:

[Durak]

Have beaten the game and special edition. Was AWESOME! One of my old favorites and a classic. The replay value is endless but it is quite a difficult game, but very well done! :Brain:

[Eagle of Fire]

Replay value? Endless?

As soon as you memorize the map, playing any race is so easy... Just rush for Death and you usually win fast...

[Durak]

I never tried to memorize the map, and rushing Death isn't fair. =P It's much more challenging waiting for Death to expand and expanding yourself then having a clash over a city.

[FreeFreddy]

There should be some custom-made maps being supplied with the game, at least with the special edition - Legends of Urak. With them the replay value should increase to many additional hours. And the special edition also has a level editor supplied with the game which allows you to create own maps.

[DiamondSoul]

Definitly a great game, reminds me a lot of master of magic! I definitly recommend. You guys have great taste in games :cheers:

[Omuletzu]

Well if that's adressed to me(me being the topic starter), thank you.So i noticed many of you have the game... could you please upload it?Perhaps the special edition(legends of uruk)?

BTW this brings us to another great game: Age of wonders.It's made in 1999, so i think it's not abw... oh well too bad... what a great game

[DiamondSoul]

Man, i was JUST thinking today how i wanted to play Age of Wonders! Oh man, great games.

[Fenris]

Ah, these games are all awesome. I own both Lords of Magic and Age of Wonders and I played them both a lot.
Isn't there allready a part 2 for AoW? Is it worth a try or better stick to the first part?

[DiamondSoul]

Well, i actually have AoW2 but not the first one. I dunno, second one is great but i remember liking the first one better... the second one really doesn't offer a whole lot more then the first. :Titan:
i love the tactical combat in AoW, so fun.

[Omuletzu]

yes yes AoW rocks, but what about Lords of Magic??
Can somebody upload it?? Preferably with the legends of uruk(?) expansion set??
Please... :kosta: :kosta:

[Rogue]

Isn't that game kind of big to host on the web site?

[Omuletzu]

Oh i seriously doubt that!

[Rogue]

I'll check later today how big is ISO be or install folder when ziped.

I’ve not played this game for about 5-6 years. It is time to remember all great races and tactics in this game.:D

[Eagle of Fire]

I have Lords of Magic Special Edition (including Legends of Uraks) but I have no idea how I could rip it and upload it.

And it might still be sold anyways, I bought it like two years ago... :blink:

[Rogue]

Alcohol 120% (http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/) is a great software to create most CD images.

[Eagle of Fire]

I don't think images is what we want.

Or maybe I'm just really clueless...

[Rogue]

What do you like is zip of the game that is already installed, but as far as I remember, Lords of Magic requires you to have CD in drive while starting the game (not so sure if you need it while playing), then ISO image is better solution, or you have to create CD fix (there might be one on the net)...

Other solution is to find if sombody already did all of this. :D

I prefer to have ISO if I can, because that's real copy of the game, but some games got too much junk on CD. (good example is Syndicate Plus where two games are about 20-25 Mb with documentation and the rest of 100Mb are ads about comming releases)

[DiamondSoul]

Lords of Magic has some really great voice acting. :)

[FreeFreddy]

I wouldn't say that at all. Well, my version of the game is in German, so the speech is German too. It sounds often really stupid and unnaturally. It annoyed me every time I played the game. :rolleyes:

[bjbrains2002]

There's a really interesting secret in legends of urak. You need to click on the hole in the center of the wheel ( 5 times) it allows you to play a secret quest.

[Rogue]

ISO is 574Mb (there are 3 demos on the CD and some other crap too, but still big).

Hahaha, i hate it when games are translated so badly into other languages, totally ruins the game. The voice acting in English is so good, why ruin it?!

[Rogue]

Game runs fine on XP, like most of Sierra titles I played.

[Durak]

Got mine off Underdogs, might not be best to upload.

[FreeFreddy]

But probably with best size to upload it here...

[Omuletzu]

Yes i also got my version from :guns: HotU :whip: , and it's 98 MB
