Tech vs Magic... Well not to the extent of limiting the dwarves to Tech and the elves to magic. But giving bonuses and/or availability to various paths to certain races. I agree that it would increase the re-playability. Hmm,TechnoElves. That's my thought exactly. Wow. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 A
You mean for instance Dwarves = Tech, Elves = Magic? I agree it's far from the original Mom, but at the same time, a 4x game would probably be bound to differ somewhat from the original MoM. It wouldn't even be MoM. The tech vs magic issue also increases the replay value of the game even more.
Another cool feature would be to add technology to the MoM concept without diminishing the magic side. So that in theory you could "rule the world" with a focus on technology, or with a focus on magic, or of course combine both. Any opinions on that?
I still think they could lift the veil a little bit.
There is an old Mom2 petition around somewhere. I think it's on www.thanesgames.com or something. A lot of people (but not nearly 5k) have signed it to date, but it's an old petition, and perhaps it has no function anymore. I don't know. I agree with mwrosser. A game in the spirit of Mom would be fantastic, even if it's not exactly mom2. Would anyone from Stardock care to perhaps give us a glimmer of hope? At least something like: "We like the idea." ? There are only
Well, you could enhance your creatures with enchantments, but that doesn't really count as customizing in my opinion. What I'm thinking is as follows: Let's say you play as Elves (or similar) you have access to wood, admantium and control a green node. You could then customize a unit consisting of 1 - 6 units ( depending on their size) ex. 6 light archers, 1 big "troll" or something. It could be equiped with ex. bows since you control wood and have the "archery" tech. Or upgraded to hav
Yes, but is it Mom2 ? Even if it isn't it seems obvious that Stardock employes actually reads this forum, so perhaps it's time to start writing down wishing lists? - Customizable units. Moo\galciv2 style. Dependant on race and tech. - Better AI - Better Diplomacy
I don't actually mind that much if the game gets bogged down in the late stages. It's natural. I can think of much worse things than that in a game. And also, even though the game should be bogged down, you could always include some guvernour feature to help to smooth things out. Btw, I read in an interview with Brad that they would want 5000 people to preorder if they were to make MoM2. Maybe they have gone away from that, but there's got to be at least 5000 people worldwide who'd want
I find it unlikely that anyone would want to skip the tactical battles. Unless of course the AI was extremely good. You would loose too many anoying battles that way.
I agree, and I believe that MoM would really lend itself to an epic feel. If combat were made to resemble the battles in the Total War series, with hundreds or thousands of units per side, you could really accomplish that. I don't think that you would need to make any of the other game play elements more complicated, but a graphical overhaul with better balancing, more spe
Maybe not heresy, but I think that late game bogs applies for MoM too. The difference here is the better graphics and more "Epic" feel of civ. I bet that, if a Mom2 finally appears some day, it will have the same problem. It will probably have much better graphic than is needed and thus tend to be slow on lower-end computers. Also, a more epic feel to MoM 2 would probably be on demand from many fans. A lot of people here ask for a Mom with updated graphics, more retorts and spells but mostly sim
I registered just to nag about Mom2. Please. Master of Magic is a classic. It's up there with civilizations. It's fantastic. Could you please make the "unnamed fantasy 4X strategy game" somewhat similar to Mom? Within legal bounds of course. Why don't anyone make a sequel? It would sell, not just to all the old fans of the original, but to a new audience as well. It fills an empty niche. Oh, and does anyone know what happens with the mom2rallypoint and the mom-forum?
