I never played MoM before, mainly because it was released for DOS only when I still only had an Amiga and my gaming time was mostly spent on play-by-mail games anyway.
But now the time has come to try it, and I now see firsthand how much it inspired the Age of Wonders games. The map is also very similar to Civilization, but I actually think Civ 1's graphics looked crisper and less pixelated. Even the shareware game Athra Chronicles released at the same time as MoM has crisper graphics, so that was kind of a bummer.
I was thinking of playing all the 14 Wizards, from the easist to the hardest one, and then try some custom Wizards.
I'm also going to use the unoffical "Insecticide" patch.
So how would you (roughly) rate the 14 wizards? Which one should I start with?
