@@DrIncompetent Please do more Slitherine Games if you can. Gary Grigsby's War in the Pacific would be wonderful LOL. (Maybe the hardest game ever made!)
This is a great step-by-step tutorial, I'm glad I found it. You're good at explaining stuff, I'm definitely going to watch the other parts. Thank you! :)
Great video very informative. I would love to have seen it when I was starting with MoM. Still even now I found some new to me info - thanks a lot. Correction: you can lose your summoning circle and it is not a huge deal (it returns to your capital)l. You need to keep your fortress safe though because if you do you are (almost) out of the game. The two do start together but it is fairly easy to move summoning circle with a standard (arcane) spell that every wizard gets access to. Correction #2: when exploring old dungeons, after the first battle or free loot you get a choice to go deeper or accept current rewards. There is no point to just accept You should always keep exploring as it often results in further loot, usually a better one as well. Even if you are faced with another fight you can still back down (Don't engage) without any consequences. One note though if you explore just the first part of the dungeon it will disappear and you will never get another chance to explore the deeper level.
Okay, great! Thank you for these clarifications! I didn't know you could run and still keep your loot from the dungeon! I lost my summoning circle in a game and it was in my capital, so I had only a limited time to rebuild or move it and couldn't get magic when this was happening so it was really rough.
The two easiest schools for hard level is Life and Nature. Having many nature books give you access to the Elven Archer (fantastic against Sky Dragons), who is OP. Having many Life Books give you a summoning spell that summons the Chosen One who (Incarnation spell) is even more OP than the Elven Archer, particularly from the Lord level and above. If I should pick a starting trait, it would be Alchemy. It gives magical weapons from the beginning, and it also gives you the option to turn gold into power or viceversa at the 1:1 rate. Gold is extremely important in the beginning, mana not so much as you dont have the casting ability anyway.
Haha, you bet! It's a tough and arduous 10-year trek through incompetent University. Only the truly incompetent endure the rigorous weeding out process that is the undergraduate coursework.
The graphics of the original is better than the new one. The artwork, feel and quality of the old one is way more immersive, gloomy, mysterious, detailed and filled with ambience. The artwork and feel of the new one makes me feel like I am sitting in MS Word... ?
@Cruor3 I guess if you think Colonization was detailed then this counts. It's a great game. I have been playing it off an on for almost 30 years, but it isn't detailed. The technology wasn't there for a game like this to be detailed.
I grew up in that older era too. Yet I struggle to read and make sense of the pixelated blobs of those games now. It's as if those old 14 inch CRT monitors accidently anti-aliased and smoothed everything out! Games (like MOM, Colonisation, Darklands) I had no problem with back then. Yet now, it's not the gameplay, it's that the text is so blocky, I can't read it. The DOSBox smoothing options for those games can't fix it.
Absolutely! I just want to explain the game concepts and rules so people can explore and have a better sense of what's going on and how to read the UI etc :)
@@DrIncompetent I am very glad and appreciative you did make a video to explain the basics! I don't want to spend wasted time slogging through it and 'do stuff by myself' not knowing the basic fundamentals because I want to be able to get into the game and enjoy it as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time in making this video!
I did 3 episodes! Here is the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLLZqXZAwfuGceptOppxSd2HO6yCcTrfWu.html I only explained the very basics of the game and left it off there :)

I think you are one of the best UA-camrs for begginer's guides to a game. You do outstanding work.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I am so glad you are finding these guides to be helpful :)

Oh great! I'm so glad you found this style of tutorial useful ;) This is a terrific game once you get the basics down. I hope you are enjoying it!
@@DrIncompetent Thanks! Also, "compete beginners" (in the video title) sounds a bit funny :D
Ooo, good catch! I fixed it haha ;D

Of course! I hope you are enjoying the game ^_^

Thanks for sharing your tips!
You tutorial convince me to buy this game thank you
It's a great game! I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for guide, it's very useful
My pleasure, I am so glad you are finding it useful :) Enjoy the game--it's a ton of fun!
Pick book of life magic, get a pentagram in the town square, nice.
Haha, that magic is a complicated business ;)
How does one acquire a doctorate in incompetence? Is there a undergraduate course?
Haha, you bet! It's a tough and arduous 10-year trek through incompetent University. Only the truly incompetent endure the rigorous weeding out process that is the undergraduate coursework.
The graphics of the original is better than the new one. The artwork, feel and quality of the old one is way more immersive, gloomy, mysterious, detailed and filled with ambience. The artwork and feel of the new one makes me feel like I am sitting in MS Word... ?
Haha, I feel you. I grew up in that older era and I have a soft spot for the art you could do with pixel based 2D graphics :)
Detailed? You must be kidding.
@@Degarth no.

I've never even heard of this
It's a remake of a classic that I didn't play decades ago but am glad I found it. It's a good one!
good video, but to be honest point of game is to try do stuff by yourself.
Absolutely! I just want to explain the game concepts and rules so people can explore and have a better sense of what's going on and how to read the UI etc :)

So you never finished this guide why.... Did something happen with this game that you stop playing it
I did 3 episodes! Here is the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLLZqXZAwfuGceptOppxSd2HO6yCcTrfWu.html
I only explained the very basics of the game and left it off there :)
