    For those who worry about what Das says; he's totally right, the game is almost exactly the same as the original ruleset.
    The most significant change (besides the graphics update) is that the map is hex-based now instead of grid-based.
    My only beef is that the graphics get a little busy; I would have appreciated them having some sort of classic graphics mode.

    I was enjoying this game quite a bit and then AOW4 came out and commander all my attention. Might have to give this DLC a try and get back into it.

    I preferred the goblin race from the free update but I'm still glad to have the Soultrapped and enjoyed playing them. The additional options increase the strategies to use and counter which is what this game is amazing at. I love the asymmetric races and playstyles. Adding a non-mage is an interesting option, I haven't tried it yet but can see it being fun. I'll never not love the "Yeet" artillery.

      The new faction is different again and I'm glad it has some pro's and con's. I think the overall balance has been great with these recent additions.

    It's also really annoying that your troops cannot move through your own cities on the world map, especially long term.

    Do note the version he is playing is not the latest. The newest one offers more settings like setting minimum distance between cities , setting pop growth speed , steam workshop support and more.

    What I found is, that in order to get more heroes, you really need to have big gold reserve you are not spending, and then only at specific turns in game there is chance to get heroes based on this.
    This was at least true with base game with first free expansion.

    • @LukeTan-tj6px

    • @IanGerritsen
      @IanGerritsen 11 місяців тому +11

      They do a similar thing in different ways. AoW4 lets you choose how to distinguish your faction with all sorts of factors but some feel like that makes everything feel the same. MoM races however are always the same - you won't have angelic or demonic dwarves, they'll just be Dwarves - but each race is decidedly different from each other race. I find the pacing and depth of MoM better than that of AoW4 but it will deffo be personal preference as they're both great.

    Because i still have fond memories of playing this title i immidiately noticed that the date you quoted is wrong, it was 1985 this was originally a c64 mastertronic? i believe release 1994 would of been the psx 1, only game that came out for the playstation which was remotely similar to this that i played was the unholy war

    i don't understand why add in bad new features as mandatory hexes (if you grown up with civ1 too you are much more used to squares). and not taking good new features as more then 4 players ... (their "argument" is not convincing, it smells more laziness to optimize then a true reason)

    • @LukeTan-tj6px

      More like resource priority. Muha is a very small team. Maybe if it sells enough

      @Baleur 11 місяців тому +2

      Yeah im not a fan of restricting gameplay (or mechanics, ui design etc) in favor of keeping an old game "pure".
      When it was due to hardware limitations at the time, it should not be something that is left "unfixed".

    • @DasTactic

      Caster of Magic seemed to work fine with more.

    • @WadeStar
      @WadeStar 11 місяців тому

      I've read a little of what Muha has said about this and it's honestly a head-scratcher. I've done a little AI/Decision Tree coding myself and I know that the more AI players you have, the processing increases exponentially (at least mine does), but it's still a drop in the bucket compared to everything else the computer has to do to run. Plus there are many other factors that similarly balloon AI logic time in a game (unit count, movement, anything that becomes as "option"). If having 8 AI players takes a long time I'd still like the option to decide for myself how many I want in my game. I mean Shadow Empire turns took forever but I still managed.
      This *one thing* is the only reason I haven't picked up the game already. If anything, the direction this expansion has taken the game has dissuaded me more against getting it. But at least I can disable it, so really it's back down to the AI player count thing for me.

    Too bad the AI of the computer in this game is a total joke. Terrible at naval combat and it leaves its cities woefully under defended.
