Easily my favorite game of the last 10 years.
The game crashes a lot. Oter than that, it's pretty okay.
I've sunk more hours into this game than I can count. It, more than any other 4X game I've played, perfectly balances classic mechanics like expanding territory, researching "technology" (i.e. spells), strategic and tactical combat, and (to a lesser extent) diplomacy. A few more recent games have tried and failed to recapture the magic (c whut I did thar?) of this game, but none have managed to accomplish it yet. Elemental: War of Magic from Stardock is the closest I've seen recently that could eventually be MoM's equal, but even it has a LONG way to go. In the meantime, pick up this game and revel in the joy of playing high men as a life mage, summoning Torin the Chosen, loading him with enchantments and magic items, and slaughtering anything that gets in his way!
