Let's beat the drums and make a noise.It's time for a new MOM!

So true... yet so impossible

A true sequel is probably out of the question, what with licensing and the niche filled by Age Of Wonders.

I would love an update, though. a windows 95 version with prettier graphics and nice sound. gameplay needs to stay the same, though. it is just so well done.
I just want a version that I don't have to cripple my computer to play

Hm, AoW is just MoM lite

There were talks here of writing an opensource sequel to MoM. Try searching through this forum or the archives for related threads.

Actually, there are rumors that once Quicksilver is finished with Master of Orion 3 they may try to get the licence to do Master of Magic 2.

Just a rumor though.

Go to moo3.quicksilver.com and search the forums...

Isn't there a mod available on the Net that allows you to play MoM in Civ 2 (I think there's one in the Fantastic Worlds add-on, but I heard a user-made one was available that was better)?

A true sequel would be cool though.

February 20, 2001, 18:37

Yes, there's a Civ2 scenario in FW. It's pretty sh!te though.

Yes. We need high res graphics for Sharee.

The above link goes to an on-line petition to get Hasbro/Microprose to develop a sequel.

Age of Wonders is not MoM, but in many ways it is so much better. Tactical turn based combat with up to 56 units in a single battle is awesome. Play online or pbem. And AoW 2 is coming out in spring 2002 and it will be even better. Forget MoM, sure everyone loved it, but AoW is the best tbs fantasy option out there. You got to like a game that has naked nymphs as one of the units.

ROFL.. actually, I was totally stunned myself when I first saw her being defeated...

In a Hi-Res MOM2 it must be fun to play as her and intentionally get defeated after a few turns

Forget being defeated. You can see her every time you finish researching a new spell.

AoW is interesting in its own way, but it's not MoM. For one thing, you can't build cities. AoW has a lot more similarities to Warlords than to MoM.

The nymphs are nice to look at, but as combat units they aren't up to snuff.

Chaos: Looks like its time for you to play a new game as Sharee.

pchang · March 7, 2001, 01:43

shadowstrike - your link is dead

Father Beast · March 8, 2001, 07:20

That's right!! no city building in AOW. how could I forget??

MOM2, MOM2, MOM2!!!

March 9, 2001, 01:40

AOW is way too much of an expansion-oriented game... on the higher difficulty levels, the only thing you're doing all the time is building up armies and attack enemies... but then, those are the only halfway well-organized game features... a strongly war-based game, whereas most of us CIVers like to build up, expand peacefully, manage economy etc...

Grumbold · March 21, 2001, 12:42

I bought AoW thinking it was another name for MoM2 but the bits they changed the most/took from Warlords were certainly the bits I liked the least. The heroes were amusing but after a couple of scenarios in the camapign your wall climbing wizard with full plate and big axe could take out towns single handed and it became boring.
