Ahh MoM...man was that a fun game. Played the heck out of it and enjoyed it thoroughly. Especially starting on Myrran and finding adamantite!! Woot uber units, especially paladins..i loved them. I even remember something came out that allowed multi-player, but it was buggy. Course that was back in the day when Al Gore had just got done inventing and creating the internet, so it didnt work very well. Still, MoM is a love of mine, along with X-Com, Civs, and all the D&D games they made back then. I remember in Pools of Darkness, my one character had a vorpal blade. Well somehow, he got disintegrated and when i cast resurrection(which I didnt think you could do if they were basically vaporized) they came back with the ability to use vorpal strikes. Meaning, all his equipment was gone, but anything he picked up became Vorpal, including hand to hand. LOL, was fricking hillarious to use bows and kill mobs instantly lol. Good times! I wonder how something like that could happen in the coding? There was also another couple of games, Fantasy Empires, which was way fun, and a game for D&D again, that let you make entire campaigns and stuff...never really worked, but it was neat. Guess I cant forget Doom either...wow...I spent alot of time fragging myself with that damn rocket launcher! Then we got 2 new versions of Doom, one that added Aladdin effects too it, basically the characters talking in the game like Iago saying "Why am I not surprised" when you open a door to a room full of mobs! The other one was an Aliens Doom, that added the voices and stuff in...man that was awesome too.
Nows its today, and i believe Stardock has picked up the gauntlet that so many have dropped or not even picked up. They are going for the gusto and I love them for that. I hope they succeed, and by what I have seen in many of their games, they have. I love the Gal Civ series and I loved Elemental. Sins was also good. So im really looking forward to this. Like Brad has said many times, he loves to game. So do I. I want to pick up Civ 5, because I love the series, but im just hesitant on that Steam stuff. But if it is like Impulse and I can play offline(which many have said you can) then I prolly will. Good job Brad, and be sure to get your folks some well deserved Pizza and Root beer (I dont drink alcohol) and we can toast to another Awesome fricking game! <Cheers and Long Life>
