Did you drag the excutable over the DosBox-icon?

Did you try "dir" in DosBox?
If your directory-name is longer than eight characters it does something like this with it:
C:\magic~1\

Check it out!

I first got Master of Magic out of a bargain bin for less than $5 back in 1995. I instantly fell in love with the game. I have since sold that CD Rom on Ebay for a crazy profit and still continue to play the game until this day. MOM is quite possibly my favorite game of all time.

Which you can do with increasing the CPU cycles in DosBox by pressing CTRL+F12 (CTRL+F11 decreases them). But do that better before you start the game.

I'd like to add that you can preset the cycles when you look into the "DosBox.conf"-file.
You can reach it over the windows start menu (assuming that you use WIN) in the DosBox-folder.
It's commented quite thoroughly so that you should not have problems editing it.

Hi
Has anyone managed to complete a game on this level? I used to play regularly, and sometimes win, before I upgraded it.

Now I generally get hit with something like Ammageddon and attacked by 9 wraiths within the first 20 moves or so. I don't think I have ever got past about 50 moves.

:mad:

My cousins would like to get started on this game, but their parents would freak if they saw Sharree with her nothing but a loin cloth, even though it's pixelart.


I've already swapped her with Merlin under Wizards.lbx and Wizlab.lbx

Any Lbx editors know which one to edit so that in the losing vortex she is swapped?

you can e-mail me at [Edited]

I may not be monitoring this post very often

On what level? I've beaten the game on the highest level, but only on my terms--that is, with halflings in the dark side of the universe, near a nice deposit of +2 stone for mining.

Xfieldok mentioned "impossible level" in the title of his post, I also missed it the first time
I can't comment, never tried that difficulty level...

I found a very interesting unoffical patch that looks like it rebalances the entire game (Klackons are now good? :laugh and partially fixes some bugs by taking away the offending spells and replacing them with better ones as well as make some spells better/worse.

Here's a download link:

(Note: Since you're replacing some .lbx files from the old game, you may want to make a brand new folder to try this out).

Enjoy!
