I purchased The Political Machine 2020 and The Founding Fathers DLC and only received an activation code for the game and no activation code for the DLC. When I activated the code, Steam only activated the game and not its DLC. So I need the Steam activation code for The Founding Fathers DLC and it isn't in "My Downloads" or in any of the emails I have received since I purchased the game and its DLC. To make matters worse, my internet connection is very
Greybriar
Will At the Gates require Steam in order to play/be activated? What kind of DRM will it have?
[quote who="Femmefatal48" reply="231" id="2785494"]I can't believe after all these posts about MOM AOW HOMM blah blah blah everyone failed to mention the all time greatest Fantasy Wargame of them all. There were even 3 or 4 books written about it. For shame for shame. Well I suppose I must be the leader here and let you in on the greatest of them all. Ta da da dat da daaaaaaah: "WAR OF THE LANCE"! This game has one of the best AI's and best simplistic gameplay ever made.

I recently reinstalled the original retail disk version of Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic and found myself enjoying it more than I did when I bought it in 2003. Kudos to Impulse for making the game available to gamers who missed playing it the first time around.
Master of Magic is my favorite game of all time. Nothing has ever surpassed it as far as I'm concerned. Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic is a good game with newer graphics, but it doesn't compare with MoM. I haven't purchased MoM from Good Old Games yet. I still play the original DOS version I purchased back in 1994 on my Vista PC using <a href="http:/
[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="24" id="2748486"] Is Elemental: War of Magic a Spiritual Heir to the Master of Magic lineage? Definitely not. No matter if you think it's a good game or not, it's definitely a very different one than MoM. Both are fantasy TBS games with Civilization-like elements, but this is where the similarities end. All the features that make MoM great - races, special units, sophisticated spells, heroes with their special abilities, item creation, mercha
[quote]Why I chose Elemental over Civ 5[/quote] I chose Elemental over Civilization V because Civ5 requires Steam and Elemental doesn't.

[quote who="Akka" reply="110" id="2747663"]I don't think it's still sold, but yes it works on Dosbox, and it's REALLY easy to find it on the Net on most abandonware sites.[/quote] Good Old Games sells the digital download of Master of Magic for $5.99 U.S. According to GOG's description, it is "compatible with Windows XP & Windows Vista (32 & 64 bit)"
If Elemental had been a subscription game, I never would have purchased it.
Master of Magic is my favorite game of all time, and I've been playing PC games since 1989. I still play MoM on my current Windows Vista machine with the help of DOSBox as well as my Windows 95 machine running under DOS. What drew my attention to Elemental in the first place was that it was supposed to be a successor to Master of Magic . It may have been buggy, but MoM was fun to play even with the b
[quote]I think I am going to go back and play MOM again.[/quote] I never quit playing Master of Magic . ;) I suppose this is a good place to reminisce about MoM. And about Stardock attempting to publish a sequel to Master of Magic .
[quote who="Mortanius44" reply="2" id="2736141"]I tried both the campaign and a new game and neither worked. There is no load game button on my campaign screen, I'm guessing because there are no games to load. And as a sidenote I would like to express my sympathies to everyone having to deal with these problems. I find the fact that my first night of playing was worthless when I tried to continue the next day pretty upsetting but I understand things don't always w
