Same here, one of my all times favorites, nostalgia arrows through the heart. By the way its closest successor is Fallen Enchantress : Legendary Heroes.
Great game, fantastic gameplay. Never understand it as a child, but now, almost 30 years later, beat it in style. Hidden gem for those, who loves HoMM and Disciples series.
one of my all time favs too this game is so amazingly great for its depth and complexity and challenge and pilot and game play. WAY ahead of tis time, influenced clearly by Magic the Gathering as well which I love and the only thing I wish they did was make this multiple player of LAN player or online multiplayer compatible. I wonder if someone could get the source code and write an online multiplayer direct connect way to play this so you could each play an opposing wizard and all play multiple player in the same game together and save it and come back each day to play etc . I still have a DOS Emulator on my PC and have a MOM folder and can run the game in the emulator and works great. Stil as fun as it was in 1995!
Awesome. I played this game so much as a kid. I even remember the cheese strat I figured out. Just rush Armageddon with max chaos magic. It covered the whole map in volcanoes which each one giving you mana. After maybe 20 or so turns, you were so powerful you could just walk over every army from that point onward.
I really liked this game. I played it so much as a kid and got my butt kicked the first few times as the map consolidated. If I remember right, some of those tower things could lead to the dark world. You really didn't find many other wizards there so you could spread out. Also, the greatest unit in the game IMO were the dark elf warlocks (did I get that right?) The unit was not super expensive but they had a special attack that ignored defense. With enough of them they really could punch above their weight class.
