Gaming History: Master of Magic "The game everyone wanted to remake"

[@turbowhale5841]

This is probably my favourite game ever! So much replay ability. And just so much you can do for a game back then. I was addicted.

[@Andreopimentel]

it was remade a couple of years ago

[@gingerfoley5319]

Master of Magic was the best. I played the crap out of it. I still want a sequel.

[@furioni333]

Warlock master of the arcane is pretty damn close.

[@pascalcorich]

Age of wonder

[@Fransens]

Still play it on the dosbox.

[@feslenraster]

Me too, it was/is awesome still to replay; it can use some tweaks to make it better.

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

Worlds of Magic is sequel dooh... but it's shit... Why dont u just go play an open source master of magic ? ... sourceforge.net/projects/momime/

[@ArbiterLibera]

I think there's a very serious problem, unless something changes in where video games are going, in that another generation or two people will straight FORGET how to make games like this.

[@LiquidDIO]

Sadly, in the race to make the next "cinematic" "experience," I think that's probably already happened. The only quest anymore is to fill your game's deficiencies with marketing and buzzwords, then blame the customers when people don't react positively to your products. The gaming industry seems to be a strange beast in this regard. People are so desperate to fucking make the games are art argument, that instead of being able to criticize a game, they're more likely to accuse you of just not getting it, when the reality is simple. Your game probably sucks ass through a drinking straw. Once enough people start holding devs responsible for their fuckups, it'll change, but it needs to start now. Hopefully, enough people learned their lesson with things like No Man's Sky.

[@Utubesuxmycock]

LOL they already have look at the fucking market

[@shahbazsheikh3545]

I just dropped by to tell you that they remade this. Thanks.

[@RaylanGivens123]

MoM is maybe my favorite game of all time. We need a sequel. Others have tried games like this and they always are too different. This is one of those games were all you need to do is update the graphics, change nothing at all beyond that, and it would be a blockbuster success.

[@parabolgravity]

Still my favorite game all time any platform, any genre. Checked all the comments, didn't see any mention or praise of the Itemmake utility. That was the game inside the game that allowed the user to customize all of the random 250 items (weapons, armor, jewelry, etc) that could roll as part of the reward for clearing a terrain special such as a node or a dungeon. I pined for decades for this once to be rebooted. Ironically, now I've come to a place and time where I'm thankful it never was. They just don't make them like they used to. I'm confident a sequel would never have done the original justice.

[@cireeeeeX]

The caster of magic mod recently got released as official DLC. It’s great.

[@Quimper111]

Master of Magic and Master of Orion II are two of the best games ever made. Add in Heroes of Might and Magic III there and you just might have a top 3 retro list.

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

Master of Orion is overrated.. the reboot is cheesy af, and what i hear is they kept as original as possible.. well maybe its because when u play Stellaris.. all other sci-fi 4x games feel like they are watered down in comparrison... Master of Magic seems interesting but the opensource HD project is awkawrd... the reso is too small... my eyes will hurt, nice customized settings for world creation tho... and can play with 13 AI or people in multiplayer : )) The game is unbalanced tho... :P

[@DefConMine]

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj WTF Stellaris is hot garbage

[@mrwonderfulone]

@@Microphunktv-jb3kj You never played Master of Orion 1 or 2. The remake is pretty but is different not at all as close as possible and just as much a failure to capture the good of Orion 1 and 2 as ALL SPACE GAMES SINCE. Try playing a game before you comment on it,

[@MrGabilonia]

I still whistle the tunes of this game from time to time

[@david8157]

Master of Magic is a game some people never recovered from MOO2 is another

[@davidf6959]

Well, I am still currently a huge MoM player so of course, I decided to add something to this video commentary. I just have to start off by saying if you are a player of this genre of games such as Age of Wonders 3 or Warlock: Master of the Arcane games I can only tell you that you must go back to the greatest game that started all of this game genre Master of Magic. You are probably looking it up now and looking at the graphics and are thinking this game is mental and could never come close to Age of Wonders 3 or Warlock which I agree have much better game graphics but DO NOT let that deter you from getting a copy of Master of Magic and setting it up in only a few minutes on your computer. Master of Magic truly was the best game in the 4x RPG game genre. I have eagerly awaited a true Master of Magic sequel. I do feel the diplomacy aspect of the game left a hollow empty feeling for the player but the combat spell options and overland spells and overall spells were just amazing! The whole heroes options and leveling of each individual unit just made the game amazing. I still believe a true successor of this game is possible someone who clearly understands it could remake a great successor. I awaited the Worlds of Magic game that came out a couple of years ago which declared it was a true successor at first then changed it's title to Planar Conquest, which is, in my opinion, nothing like the original master of magic. I am happy that some people are content with the remakes out there like Age of Wonders, Warlock or Planar Conquest but to me, these other games still lack the awe, wonder, and fun of the original Master of Magic. I honestly hope that someone will still make a sequel to the original Master of Magic. A true sequel only needs improved graphics better sound quality, an actual level of diplomacy in the game which I agree there is basically none in the original it needs a multiplayer option and perhaps some quest options that the heroes can undertake to get more money, XP, items etc. But in general leave almost everything else the exact same just improved sound effects with better sound quality, you can even have the same music just improved sound quality. You actually shouldn't change up the spell system keep it the exact same, maybe adding 2 or 3 different spells within each spell class type. Maybe after beating the game on the hardest difficulty setting adding a few bonus things to the account that has completed this feat but generally almost the same game. Well, those are a few of my thoughts on the issue.

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

David M Fox complete it with 120percental at the end then

[@metanomad9022]

I completely agree with you. I would further suggest high definition 2D(!) grafics for the entire game with beautiful handdrawn portraits and splash screens. And... a multiplayer mode :) ... thats about all. Just remake the original with higher resolution and overall quality.

[@reverb2max]

4:14 before the interwebs we had BBS/Mailbox and FIDOnet. And a ZyXEL U 1496E Plus. 20:15 *for me* that village music is the most soothing sound i can imagine. It's like a timemachine + sonic Laudanum. "My God was it fun!" you bet.

[@dookiebot]

If Bethesda implemented these schools of magic into their elder scrolls game, playing as a mage would be a completely different game. It would encourage multiple playthroughs (what people love to do in TES games with modding), and would allow mages to become specialized in their spells, and turn magic battles into all kinds of paper, rock, and scissors.

[@HansLemurson]

I never played "Master of Magic", but I did play "Age of Wonders" when it first came out, and I can see how much AoW was actually trying to be a sequel to MoM. All of the core elements: the magic domains, the heroes, the tactical combat, the map features, the city development, gold and magic as currencies...all of it came from Master of Magic. I think I'll have to go play MoM now.

[@HansLemurson]

I've played Master of Magic now several times over the past years and was quite impressed with the depth and complexity it achieved in its magic system. Its AI and balance were pretty bad though, but for a game of its complexity, not surprising. There's just crazy feature after crazy feature in this game. There's even a second parallel underworld! That's the sort of thing I'd expect from a poorly thought-through expansion-pack, but it was in the base game! Its hero and population system clearly showed that this was the predecessor to Master of Orion 2. But the look and feel of its city screens, and the whole "build settlers to found new cities" mechanic clearly marked this as the successor to Civilization. The game is basically: "What if we combined Civilization with Magic: the Gathering?" I've been following the work of Seravy over the years to upgrade and improve it, and have been excited to see the new version in the works.

[@Reminiscable]

AWESOME video. "Buttload is a scientific term used to describe a quantity that is between a heck of a lot, and a crap ton."

[@mathieuwiersma1660]

+1

[@FredericoPagotto]

Perfect review.. received a sale message from GOG about this game.. used to love civilization so I'm pretty sure gonna love this one too... Ordering right now from GOG

[@billmc2419]

Try Caster of Magic. Great mod.

[@battlemode]

Seconded

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

or this... sourceforge.net/projects/momime/

[@JTByrd386]

I’ve been playing this game since ‘94, nothing scratches the empire building itch like this.

[@crushingit5128]

"the game everyone wanted to remake" couldn't be a more truer statement. And lots of devs come out and pretty much say they are making one that mimics MoM. Age of Wonders SM, is my very very close #2.

[@DepressedDiego]

Now we have a remake coming

[@benitojuanjuarez2438]

Wow this brings back so many great gaming memories growing up. I searched for years to find something that felt the same, and Age of Wonders 3 does do it justice. Master of Magic, what a great game!

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Benito Juanjuarez i loved the cat people of the expansion... but I'm a Thundercats fan too

[@MostVP71]

This game and Master of Orion 2 are amazing games to drink to.

[@jloren5662]

Fun fact: Butt load is a proper term for a nautical ship's storage quantity or capacity.

[@ngastakvakis4425]

Beautiful video, thanks. Will you cover the new game? Comparisons?

[@GaminGHD]

I hope to, next year.

[@julio_scissors]

Maybe it's best that MoM was left alone. I've been playing games for almost 30 years and this is still the best strategy game I've ever played. Only Civilization comes close. MoM "2" could've never been as good.

[@jasonx7501]

The game is very dated. Even if no features are changed, it would be nice to have a remastering to modernize the graphics and interface.

[@Bmetalful]

otteaux I have fond memories of MoM but I find that Age of Wonders 3 with both expansions scratches the itch. I haven't tried Endless Legend though I hear that's good too.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

A simple remake with more modern graphics would be nice.

[@SeravySensei]

13:30 Diplomacy is completely broken in the game. I mean, broken on the level of missing features, self contradicting triggers, and war declarations that go to a different player than intended. If you (or anyone watching) are still interested in the game I strongly suggest checking out this forum because not everyone is patient enough to wait for a better game, some prefer to fix the original :D : www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=15 By the way as far as I know Master of Magic is the sequel to Master of Orion, not the other way, might be wrong though.

[@unacomn]

I meant that Master of Orion 2 was build more on Master of Magic than it was on Master of Orion 1.

[@ivans3806]

Seravy Sensei above is being amazingly modest by not mentioning the mod he wrote for Master of Magic, called Caster of Magic which can be downloaded from here: seravy.x10.mx/Wordpress/ The forum area discussing the mod is here: www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=251 Highly recommended for any old MOM fan.

[@tartrazine5]

Man, I need to rewatch Azukin Chacha.

[@tartrazine5]

Yes, even though needing to have a third of your citizens farm at the start of the game (when you have warp drives!) made a WHOLE lot more sense in MoM than it did in MOO2.

[@Pozer714]

My favorite of all time I think. A good portion of my prime spent playing this.

[@SeymoreTheDisappointed]

I just wish that there will one day be a highly immersive wizard rpg ( I mean the robe wearing kind of wizard)

[@nemuir9112]

Now that there is a date for the release of the master of magic remake, I'd love to know your opinion of a pre impression as a fellow master of magic fan. Also i love your vids. Cheers from Argentina.

[@michaelfurtwangen1662]

this series makes me cry. It seems as if I have missed out on so many great games and now I have to play them. But I dont know if I have enough time to fully explore them

[@SilverKnightPCs]

There was a game called Lords of Magic that was a spiritual successor and played very much like a super updated version of MOM. Only difference was the focus was shifted to the units and more rpg elements and the spells and spell casters became very rare. But damn could they hit hard

[@mrwonderfulone]

I played Lords of Magic and really liked it although there is only one map to play. The map was like a world where you could continously go around it, up down and sideways. I also like age of wonders, MoO 1 and 2. I tried MoM a few times but get my rear kicked by the AI and simply don't know the magic well enough to compete.

[@goatofwar2229]

I loved this game as a child so much.

[@soggz9190]

First played MoM in 2003, and it was amazing had it installed on every computer since then. Dont play it very often but keep coming back to it. Love the fact you can cast fly on your normal water ship and have a terrifying weapon. So many Fun ways to break the game The spells are so diverse and powerful and the races play so diffrently And the ability to customize your hero and randomly generated maps Its the game that you can keep on playing Master of orion2 is great also but think MoM have more ways you can break and abuse powerful spells and races. MoM being more flawed then orian2 is why i prefer it

[@bloodrunsclear]

This game is STILL one of the highest rated on Gog

[@yuripantyhose4973]

Its very funny that none of the remakes is even close to the fun you get from MoM. Personally I'm a Lords of Magic fanboy though, but I still love MoM. MoM music is awful though, but the sound effects are cool. Loved the summoning gif.

[@Azariel886]

have you tried planar conquest? it is the most faithful MoM remake with the only addition being D20 combat system.

[@unacomn]

Have not played it. Judging from the Steam reviews, it's not really that well made.

[@Azariel886]

it is a good game, a bit clunky coming from a polish indie dev, but i have played Masters of Magic too and it pretty much is a faithful remake with better graphics and menues. it was quite buggy at release and controls (especially mouse control) where "faithful" as well...meaning out of date. till now they fixed it though. but as with many games the reviews aren't revisited. if you only go by steam reviews from some 12 year old butthurt kids then i can't help ya man...do some actual research. not every game is for everyone and not everyone will like every game. people get annoyed by different kind of things and downvote for the stupist of reasons. ... like a game being patched for like 4 years after release with free content (like in endless legend) and suddenly the devs jump onto their next project and i see down votes with "they abandoned the game" from 12 year old inbreds which feel entitled to lifelong free updates.

[@btonasse]

Planar Conquest just looks horrible. But thats most of game art nowadays.. flashy kitschy 3d art with way too many colors all over the place

[@Keithustus]

So glad someone mentioned this finally. It's been nice to see Planar Conquest get better and rise above its original review scores. It's the most complete and enjoyable MOM remake so I've put a ton of time into it. I can't recommend it enough to MOM fans.

[@christracey5813]

"In 10 years someone will try again." Boy, did they! Sylitherine out right tried a total remaster with the license. Results were... mixed

[@philippenachtergal6077]

For me, playing the first Age of wonders (a while back now) truly reminded me of master of magic. Previous attempts at it failed.

[@Leverquin]

MAster of Orion 1 and it sliders is the most unique mechanic. so basic so good. you could have 7 years and not to know word of english, and to have 77 and to be native speaker and you will udnerstand it

[@OrinjFlames]

Microprose was just on another level when it came to depth. Any of their games that get a remaster/sequel in the past decade just feel like a puddle.

[@Kth4life]

Which game are you playing in the very beginning (at 0:08) ?

[@Kth4life]

Warlock 2?

[@csm3640]

I hope they can make a great sequel and I can play it before I die. It's like 28 years since the launch of the game and I played it back in 1994. It was my go to game for many years.

[@GrandHeresiarch]

I love Master of Magic so much. I only rarely play it though because once I start a game I can't put it down - too addictive.

[@caligulawellington3171]

Those categories and matching colours of the different magic types are the same as in Magic The Gathering.

[@Schleimie]

(14:45) The battles are fun, but the battles of Demonworld are more strategic. A mix of both games would be cool.

[@loganmiller4863]

I swear Richard Garfield built his fortune in no small part on the concepts laid down in this game.

[@IamGhede]

Not sure how you can say you are satisfied with the genre when nothing to this day lives up to master of magic. It did have its balance issues but maybe that was what made it so great. It was, after all, only a single player game. So much fun, I still play it from time to time. My favorite combo is A death/chaos alchemy warlord. I would grab a sorcery spellbook because you needed counter magic. I hated that spell. I forget which order you needed to use the spells but Chaos and Black Channels were my favorite. My armies were undead monstrosities with wings or flame breath or demon skin that ate nothing and didn't care about gold. I even went so far as to figure out the font used in the unresearched spells list so I could decipher them and make sure I would get both spells in that particular game. So many rerolls! Nothing has quite scratched that itch for me and, unfortunately, I don't think anything ever will.

[@lalas198]

1:21 Honestly GaminGHD, I have come to the conclusion that RPGcodex isn't even a reliable source anymore as they tend to literally worship old cRPGs and disregard and modern attempt to revive the genre (except DOS2). Having said that, old cRPGs (as in: BD1&2, ICW1&2, PST and FO1&2) and DoS2 are great games (DoS2 has the best turn-based combat for me) ...however let's not be hyperbolic. I remember once when I criticized somebody's point in which he was whining about the fact that there was a public bathhouse full of nudists in PoE2 and how it was connected to SJW (???????) , for some reason he mentioned that DoS2 has better story (it's a matter of taste) and when I brought up a link to an article which said that PoE2:Enhanced Edition will feature 200.000 extra words in dialogues in order to cover plot holes, he flipped off and started personally insulting me as if by criticizing DoS2 I was insulting him.

[@kenalebla]

Nice analysis. I still go back to this game once a year. I should state, for the record, that Planar Conquest (formerly Worlds of Magic) has improved quite a bit. They've done some work on it, though I suspect unwillingly (meaning Wasteland Interactive's website hasn't changed in a year, so I don't suspect they're getting any jobs and feel compelled to fix PC up for their reputations sake). It's still buggy, CTD (far less than 6 months ago), and I find the AI worse than the final release of MoM (PC AI wasn't programmed for the complexities of the game). That being said, it may be worth a look or review. It really has improved, though it's still a disappointment...

[@nonaurbizniz7440]

Good review with some details I didn't know about. The game that came the closest to remaking mom was age of wonders: shadow magic. Basically mom with upgraded graphics and a campaign with a few twists added in. It's not quite as expansive on spells and such but its still a good play.

[@Schleimie]

It would be cool, if there were 2 sorts of Adamantium in this game, blue Adamantium gives you +2 Bonus, but purple Adamantium gives you +3. But, it should take more time to produce such strong units.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Man, you hyped me up. I've not grown on DOS games except Wolfenstein 3D, Original Prince of Persia, and a few point-and-click games. But I've played turn based strategies like Civ IV and V, and few more on GBA and DS. How much do you recommend this game to me? Is there any other games you suggest instead?

[@unacomn]

Master of Magic is a must, you'll have a lot of fun with it. If you want a similar game, try Age of Wonders 3 or Sorcerer King, they're good games.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

unacomn Thanks!

[@robertlange2526]

Good old Games is a good place to get the game. GOG.com

[@metanomad9022]

Dude... people have been trying to remake this game for multiple POWERFUL reasons... believe me. IT IS UNACHIEVED what this game was. The imersion, the well roundedness... the quality, the details... holy fuck. It is much like Master of Orion ...after years of playing you still find out new and awesome details about it. Example... one day you build a certain building (magic smithy?) in a city that has mithril in range. Before you thought, well mithril gives me some mana each turn. Well with the building all units produced in that city now have mithril weapons which give +1 atk. Awesome you think. Some months later you are still playing MoM and you are attacked in a small city by immaterial ghosts... holy shit you think i dont have enough mana to cast "magic weapons" to hit the ghosts (because they have physical immunity)... you are waiting for you inevitable demise... suddenly you defeat the ghosts... what? Oh i had mithril weapons on that unit... so mithril weapons also count as magic attacks and can hit physical immune mosters... hoooooly shiieeeet! Mind blown again. This game is just full of little beautiful details like this and it makes it so immersive to play. None of this stuff is needed to beat the game, but discovering these things is just so immensely fun. I warmly recommend you this game!

[@Charok1]

The best strategy game of all time still doesn't have a newer game that copied it right. Even more amazing is they kept making Civilization games with no separate battle map. Many moved to Total War and never went back to stupid civ. And we probably won't have anything as good as the best game ever again, Vampire Bloodlines, but I hope Cyberpunk proves me wrong.

[@Schleimie]

Obsidian was missing in MoM. It should give you a high resistance bonus.

[@manatoa1]

One of my favourites.

[@jonw8764]

Master of Magic unofficial patch 1.5 and caster of magic mod 5.13 I think really helps the game. How ever I am on a quest to find a mod or way to mod it so cracks call can't be cast on heroes because F that. It is killing the hell out of all my fun.

[@judgeomega]

magic item of wraith form makes your hero immune to web and cracks call.

[@Bookhermit]

Nothing comes close to Master of Magic for well-balanced variations of play - there are simply ENDLESS pathways to a winning combo, and counter-measures for just about anything. All the way from going all-light and stomping on the world with Torin the Chosen, to going with Nature and spamming webs and cracks call. Have a flying, invisible unit just sit there while you cast Magic Vortex and destroy all the opponents! I think all it needs is a really good duel mod, with 2 human players and 0-3 computer players. And the ability to easily work with modern operating systems, of course.

[@metanomad9022]

I always pumped Warrax the Chaosmage with the most powerful selfcrafted items possible. Then i went on conquering the hardest dungeons with him as a one man army (was stil close sometimes against giant worms) to get more spell books. Then i could mostly defeat all opponents just with Warrax. No need to make him invulnerable. He was just to powerful by himself with max level and maxed artifacts.

[@Keithustus]

PLANAR CONQUEST.....examine that! It was released months before this video posted and is the most complete and comprehensive remake. It got a ton of patches after release and has a wonderful iOS edition.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

I actually spoke to Brad Wardell about making MoM2. (sigh)

[@kosterix123]

Master of magic I played when nobody had even heard of it. Epic gameplay but after you’re done you have a hard time remembering the gameplay. There is an update for this and it’s 5$ on gog.

[@markmobiel9412]

can someone tell me what the games in the intro were? they look worthwile of checking out

[@unacomn]

Those are Warlock Master of the Arcane, Sovereign King and Age of Wonders 2

[@markmobiel9412]

unacomn thanks for the help

[@StAtiC9ine]

Love the video. Age of Wonders 2: Shadow Magic was the best AoW, in my opinion any way. More troops on the battlefield and almost all of the same QoL changes as AoW3.

[@Leverquin]

hey what is your opinion on remake/

[@GaminGHD]

Have not yet played it, maybe some day.

[@MonkeyManJams165]

Thank you so much for this video, now I got master of orion II as well and its a very good.

[@xyzz101]

Magic immunity plus weapon immunity = immortal units. Yes, this game is unbalanced, and I have yet to see any 'remakes' that can touch it. It cant be that hard, just copy what was already there, add new graphics and add another Magic color or two

[@tartrazine5]

I imagine that balancing a spiritual sequel would be much easier, what with it being trivial to have thousands of beta testers and not needing to send out patches via floppy disk.

[@ualaelinlive]

Yes but the immunity stuff is part of the fun. Weapon immunity only works against very weak units without magical weapons, which is very few low level units made without an alchemists guild. Magic immunity fails against superpowered heroes such as Warrax the Chaos Warrior with 30+ magical ranged attack. You can kill Sky Drakes with him. Cracks call ignores magic immunity, you'll need flying to avoid it. Web disables flying. Wraithform disables web. This is why MoM is awesome.

[@dfernand101]

Hilarious commentary on video game history.

[@Fransens]

I still have both the manual and the spellbook. Because even as a kid I knew I had something special in hand with a game that gives you a comeplete spellbook to look shit up and... AND have an in-depth manual that goes so far into detail that you can basically copy the entire ruleset out and make a tabletop game out of it. Full stop.

[@viconiusvortex4999]

MoM and MOO2 remain great examples of the alchemy of game design. Let the player play, even if it's not a Wookie.

[@hokusei5822]

My favourite game!!!

[@celes24]

I thought Heroes of Might and Magic was the spiritual successor of MOM

[@_oBSOLEte_]

You need to check out Endless Legend.

[@alexkoponen9102]

Civilization 2 had available an add-on that did a moderately good Master of Magic imitation.

[@johndotcom9648]

What I would like to know is if anyone ever beat MoM with a perfect score/full completion. I imagine it would require a lot of luck and literally weeks of play to achieve. And of course, even if someone managed to do it they probably couldn't prove it. Love MoM

[@truenetgmx]

So, maby reaction to recent annoucement of remake? ;)

[@DeadlyDanDaMan]

Age of Wonders 3 is the absolute closest that any game has ever come to reproducing what MoM was. It's almost an EXACT 1/1 remake of MoM. The only thing that is different is that when your units get injured in combat and lose figures, they don't lose fighting effectiveness like they do in MoM. That's honestly the only thing that is different between the 2 games. MoM is still amazingly good, and I HIGHLY recommend you get the Caster of Magic mod for it. It fixes virtually every single bug in the game, and balances everything out very nicely. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

[@metanomad9022]

Yeah that was also an aspect that confused me and killed a bit of immersion. Why would a 1 figure unit still be as strong as a 4 figure one.

[@andrasprohaszka3512]

Everybody gangsta till meet a Sky Drake

[@Smutnovsor]

wow, you could arrange taxation burden there - newer knew that, lol.

[@zenithquasar9623]

I think I prefer the Heroes series more.

[@Schleimie]

Caster of Magic is the coolest Mod.

[@sawomirjarzyna7453]

Only one should do that - Triumph Studios.

[@julio_scissors]

This is still the best vidya ever made.

[@Schleimie]

I think Age of Wonders 3 is the nearest Game to Master of Magic.

[@bwcbiz]

Well it only took 6 more years...and it's literally a remake. Gameplay is pretty much the same with a reskin and some UI improvements.

[@otherdumbname]

The blue one! yeah I always thought sorcery was crap.

[@metanomad9022]

i didnt :) phantom warriors were quite cheap and poweful in the beginning. Also confusion worked wonders. Water walking, flying ... actually you had a lot of useful stuff in sorcery.

[@Swordphobic]

Ahh, how much time I spent on this game... They just announced a remake and it looks crappy, but its still Master of Magic. I do feel like you didn´t truly apreciate how powerful chaos channels can be as its a permanent buff. I used to have armies of adamantium clad champion halfling slingers flying around with chaos surge and just grabbing every single ruin and node in my path. Those cloud drakes took one to two shots to down with these nasty halflings.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

So many games claim to be like MoM and none - absolutely none - are even close. You'd have thought an indie company could have knocked up a very close MoM clone with a modern UI and better graphics in 18 months.

[@AlithAnar]

It’s 2020 an no remake :(

[@hdckdsadd]

lol... that title holds up very well now in 2021 when this gave it seems will have a remake. that intro reveal/remake for the remake is atrocious.

[@ChrisNihilus]

It's Pegasi

[@PennyAfNorberg]

Paladins and farming myran nodes and suck for books?

[@EsaKarjalainen]

A shame, I thought this was about the original Master of Magic game.

Although the original Master of Magic on the C64 is a fucking crap game to be honest

MoO 1 > MoM > MoO 2. your game runs way too fast (unless thats intentionel ;) ofc). you should set your CPU cycles correctly and not on auto. i use: MoM 24000 MoO1 15000 MoO2 60000

Ironically, the best MoM remake was made by people, who didn't even tried to remake MoM. TW: Warhammer is the best MoM remake IMO. Yes, the combat isn't turn based and you can't build cities whereever you want. You can't craft artifacts and your hero choises are limited. But it has more MoM feel to it than games that tried to carbon copy every aspect of the original MoM. I'm talking about entirely different races, armies composed of both mobs of weekass meatshields, small elite units and single-unit war beasts or war machines. I'm talking about the world where you have to keep an eye on a mundane staff, like taxes but also watch for winds of magic. I wonder, whether a mod can make it more MoM-like?..

Age of Wonder 3 ARE COMPLETE SHIT, since it has 3D GRAPHICS(and many other shit aspects), which automatically turn off for people who actually enjoyed pixel-based graphics(and still do prefer them to this day) which were presented in Master of Magic. I think "Age of Wonder: Shadow Magic" is the only true contender "in some ways" to Master of Magic. All other games you list it in this video like Warlock, Enchanter...etc...are crap, and they are nothing like MoM.

MoM:CoM. (mod fore oryginał MoM) showed haw this old school game can be very Best. And ther is a new remaster version.
