Useful changes, but the color scheme...

I don't know how to say it politely, but the new Windows color scheme is just awful. If you can get pass this (I couldn't), the new additions are quite nice, both for begginers and, I imagine, veteran players as well. The new wide-screen resoultion is probably my favorite feature. However, why bother with a new color scheme when the classic one was just perfect? Will promtly change my rating one this issue gets fixed.

Not really a game

I have played MoM since it came out in 1993. This is not the even close to that game. It so buggy it's unplayable. Lots of stuff doesn't work. Like Floating Islands, you can load units, but not unload those units. It's just a total mess. There is a mod that is stupid hard on the “Easy” setting. The AI spamming cities, units, summoned creatures, like it's on it's 300th turn, from move one. Actually it's worse than that. On the first move of the game AI has dozens of units it does not have to pay for. The AI pays for nothing, no upkeep, it makes unit anywhere, and everywhere, at no cost. Both summoned, and regular units. The mod is nothing more than massive cheating by the AI. So you choice is, buggy hell, or a game so stupid, it's not really a game. I only give one star because the review system makes you. This is not worth your time in any way.

If you've never played it, don't

This game is not friendly to newcomers at all. Every review here is written by someone who'se coming back to this game from a long time ago and only has nostalgia for it. The first review here says "unsurpassed", while another mentions that it is perfect. Neither of those things are true. So what's good? Well it reminds me a lot of x-com in how detailed the management aspects are. There's immense variety in terms of building, magic, and unit types. That's where the fun ends. What's bad? Diffficulty. There are games that are challenging and there are games that are artificially hard. This falls into the latter category. Your units are about as useless as tissue paper and last about as long. This is on normal difficulty. You'll spend a few turns building up a nice little hamlet with a neat array of buildings, then you'll send an expeditionary force out to conquer another little village. While your sizeable force gets annihilated by 1-2 ghosts in a cave, a single squad of enemy swordsmen will pop out of nowhere and attack your capital. No warning, no chance to defend yourself with magic (as the name of the game and the intro cinematic would have you believe), you lost, sorry. It wouldn't make a difference even if you had had a force to defend it because whatever you throw at the enemy stands up about as well as a fart in a hurricane. People will be upset about this review perhaps and tell me that I just need to "git gud", but at the end of the day this game just isn't fun.

Graphics too hard to look at now

I know it was probably a classic in the past. I gave it a shot based on other reviews and because I like the HOMM and Civilization series. But the graphics are so old it ruins the experience, I can't even tell what I'm looking at some of the time. I'm not expecting state of the are of course, this is GOG, but there's a difference between dated graphics (such as Age of Wonders) and obsolete graphics like this. It seems deep enough that, strategy wise, it could get interesting if I figured it out, but I can't bear looking at these graphics.
