Master Of Magic (MoM)

Does anybody know if Master of Magic (MoM for short) can be hacked into multiplayer?

I remember the old hack performed on Civ where a byte on the savegame told the program which player was the Human player.
By modifying the save game between each turn, a multiplayer civ game was hacked together... Could the same approach be used on MoM? My initial attempts did not meet any success.

I love MoM. I still prefer it over all the other. I've just bought ToT but still find it more limited than MoM in many ways.
A multiplayer option would make this game a hit even today, EGA graphics and all.

If there's anyone from the MoM dev team here, let me express my deepest respect for this great game. With all the hype about Civ games lately, wouldn't it be time to come out with a MoM II. It beats the Heroes of Might and Magic serie anytime, imho.

Have you heard about Age of Wonders ? Seems to be a real good game, it takes the better of MoM, HOMM, Darklords, and add new great things.

I honestly don't know how you can say MoM is better than HOMM's I, II, or III.

Heroes of Might and Magic is the BEST strategy game series to come out in the last 5 years...

And I'm not alone in saying that...
