I just know it is possible, cuz my nehew (my tech) lol was able to by editing my windows registry.

Yeah just wanted to add, that if your a true war game strategist.this is one of the all time greatest with such a diverse economy and city placement (with growth) at will.

If I remember, it was actually programed by Sid Meir....a strategy gaming legend lol........doubt he will ever make a sequel as Real time strategy is the thing now...and Sid is to busy with his Civ series thats crying for tactical combat like this had....its a fantasy Civ with tactical combat......can I say anymore?...a true wargamers paradise!

The only think posibbly lacking is the old world tactics of pikeman kill calvery......as speed of units here is essential even though its turm baised combat....no pikeman rows will cut down any strong mounted charge, youl probably watch in dismay as your troops trying to form a phalanx are cut down lol, but this is a fantasy world and Alexander or Julias never faced a basilisk charge lol

Every inch of those games screams MoM and not just in a "wow, this game totally stole everything from Master of Magic" sort of way, but rather a "Holy hell, they've made an awesome, modernized version of MoM and managed to add what few elements I ever would have thought to append or change from the original, and do it without sacrificing the spirit of it all!" At least I think so.

Finding spellbooks for a new school of magic AFTER you started researching the Spell Of Mastery. Which will take me another 260 turns to complete, approximately. THEN I can research web

On another note, my game seems to run slowly, even though I'm using the newest version of dosbox and so forth. I've tried adjusting speed with ctrl+F12 but it's still rather sluggy. Any suggestions?

Lol yeah Drider it does, but either run for all the dark plane nodes early....or use the editor to cheat a wizard brislling with books lol

Hmm can anyone thats played this AoW give me advice....looking it over now online n dont want to waste $ if its not what I want.

It does look a bit like Mom...as far as heroes, items, and building units.....but it doesnt have the old Civ flare of building cities and a diverse economy.

IM0 the true genius of MoM was it was a fantasy Civ clone, with tactical combat and a more diverse economy that Civ games are desperatly lacking, AoW seems to fall far short here to as I dont build settlers and place cities as I choose do I?

Sorry I am spamming this thread so much, but glad I found you guys cause this is the all time greatest strategy game IMO and I love war strategy games...the new stuff is garbage...just who can click the fastest... BS thats not strategy....although the Tottal war series is starting to get a little better even though its RTS which usually isnt real war game straegy IMO
The new Napolean version yhey aree realeasing might even be decent...still wont be as good as a new MoM would be tho lol

Ok.......tho...was wondering if you guys know where I can get an editor....n what does the 3.1 patch here fix... I forgot?
