Oh Master of Magic is simply the best game in the world, i've been playing it for years!!

You guys might have some trouble running the game smoothly with sound, but it is possible using only VDMSound and some tweaking to the properties, if anyone needs help making it work i'd be glad to be of assistance, i just got it to work on my computer with sound without DosBox a little while ago.

I haven't sussed dosbox for this game (as in nosound) so if you'd post the vdm solution I'd be grateful, I run on a twiddled to bits xp.

I love this game, one of my absolute favourites.
I always play the orcs, because they can build all the buildings on the cities. (Yeah, who cares about strategy, when you can build magic stables and all!) And when choosing all the powers at the beginning, with the books, I only choose one power, usually Nature, Chaos or Death. I never choose Life. I guess that reveals something about my personality, I just have no idea what it would be. LOL

I remember that for the first few years of playing I didn't understand that the Magic Spirits can meld to the nodes and make more magic. I has that button on the lower-right corner, but I alwasy thought it said 'held'. Then just one day I clicked it and whoopsie, the spirit melted and turned into a cloud of magical stars LOL

Also, funny thing happens sometimes, I guess it's only on the easy-mode or something... when I explore the terrain all around, a small outpost by other wizard appears with only one house in the middle. I attact the city and raze it, and the wizard is destroyed. Easy. But this only works if there is only one house in the town. If there is more, the wizad will stay alive and get very mad.

I have also tried to look for the tales behind the wizards from all kinds of books about mythology. I found some of them, but some are still unknown. The search continues. I have never tried to find them from the internet though. Now I know what I will be doing for the rest of the night. k:

I read that MoM walktrough/FAQ someone posted a link to earlier on this thread, and there was some talk about life stealer. What the heck is that? Kills settlers? I have never came across any of those.

Could that be the life stealing ability of some death creatures? Though I don't remember their names.

When setting the sound options during the mom setup I choose "old" for the sound blaster type and left the other settings at default. I also used XP's compatability option (via properties) on the exe file, setting it to 98, enabeling hma and putting all the memory settings to auto. It then ran perfectly in DosBox.

I always thought the beetles were best. They have a ton of hit points and damage
I always won easily with a beetle army

I just run around with beefed up heroes, but I actually found a difficult battle ... I was fighting two sky drakes ... they have four movement so they reached me after a first round of my shots. i usually could take one out but the second one always got an attack off and killed my hero. these heros (4 of them) were all demi-gods and had all the most powerful items i created. and i had every spell i knew casted on each one ....

i think there might be a glitch or error with the invulnerability spell though it says the first two attacks to a unit with it are completely disregarded. but the drakes attacks still killled my hero.... any1 know whats up with that?

I found a neat thing out ...If you Customize a wizard and choose all Perks and dont actually choose any magic books you can research the two quickest things and after that Spell of Mastery will be available and you will be able to start researching it way before you should... It might be tough to stick it out without having any magic spells but just get some strong units protecting your city and then have another beefed up unit go out exploring it worked for me on Hard. Its easier cause you got many Perks too.

There is an error. After all, as you might have noticed, even the final patched version is still somewhat buggy. And there's no patch anymore, so yes, invulnerability is a pretty useless spell / magic item feature as it does nothing. But Wraithform (or whatever it's called) if pretty useful.

Hello to everyone. Just wanted to post that I have found an easy way to get sound in MOM. Just open the mom Install file with Dosbox. (Replace the mom.exe on last line of Dosbox config with the line Install.exe.) this will open up the sound menu. Select your soundcard, do so twice, once for music, then for effects. Exit Install. Then go back to Dosbox config and replace Install.exe with MOM.exe. Create a shortcut to Dosbox on your desktop and run. Bingo----SOUND!! Actually VDM sound will run the game faster than Dosbox! So after running the Install in Dosbox, just run the game with VDM sound. Hope this helps anyone who needs it.
