Re: Playtesting 1.06.10 (screenshots heavy)

#10 Cycling armies I find it maddening to cycle through armies with spacebar, and getting to change plane constantly. It's like : please move this stack on Arcanus, then please move this stack on Mirror, then back to Arcanus, etc ... Can we please cycle armies per plane ? ----------------------- Can...

Re: Game Start Design Decision

Hi all, If this has been discussed please let me know where so i can look through it and feel free to ignore. I have looked at the videos and they all start with a settlement. I am a bit going in age but when i remember playing MoM (which like Pirates! and Pool of Radaince are among my most favorit...

Re: Master of Magic doesn't need a storyline

Here's an idea that could replace the storyline a bit: how about making battles more meaningful, like in the real life, add a kind of commemoration, to celebrate the past glory and triumphs. Here's a couple of examples: 1. A wizard defeats a rival wizard in a massive battle. To celebrate it, his ki...

Re: Master of Magic doesn't need a storyline

If it's something like 'there was a great ... and the wizards and races got scattered across two planes' - that's fine. But if is going to resemble Planetfall in this respect - nah, it's like a fifth wheel to a cart. Well, we already have an intro. Which basically says there is a war between powerf...

Re: Master of Magic - Dev Diary #12

The graphics look better and better! I hope you release your game soon.

I still believe the UI would benefit tremendously from having slightly colored "titles" of the various frames. But it's your game and you have to make that decision.

Re: Any help you need from fans?

So after many rumors of MoM remakes over the years, I seem to have become deaf to them. I just found out about this project today and while you're clearly in the eleventh hour of production, I was just curious if you had any superficial needs that fans could help with? As for me personally, I do vo...

Re: Master of Magic doesn't need a storyline

It might ruffle someone's feathers but do hear me out. Long story short, this is a 4X TBS, not an RPG. An RPG without a story is pretty much a shooter game ('cough', C'2077, 'cough'), and this story (or stories) must be strong; essentially the game revolves around it (them). Now, MoM is Civ (empire...

Re: Master of Magic: Development Diary #11 - June 2022

Interesting the battle help. thx! You talk about more ressources, I think that will impact the balance on the map. In other games there is a possibility to change the amount of ressources on the map. As there is no options menu for the world generation where players can manipulate the world at the ...

Re: Master of Magic: Development Diary #11 - June 2022

Looks good!

The grasslands seem a bit empty. You might want to add more resources, forests, rivers etc. I remember mirror and arcanus being full of gold, silver, coal, mythril, nightshade.

Here you have the current banners. But I don't think they are associated with save games:

Re: Dev Diary #10 - April 2022

(1) In the original Master of Magic, you could pick a banner. Same was true for Master of Orion. I assume that this will also be possible here, although the banner is probably not associated with a save game. (2) There are lots of media that object to the use of all kinds of words. In general, they ...

Re: Dev Diary #10 - April 2022

Ok, the mayor change so far seems the change to hex fields.

This might change combat somwhat. I already saw that in the combat mode the cities are now much larger than the original (I think it was something like 5x5).

Re: Anyone at Slitherine tried to track down Steve & Simtex people for a promotional thing

Posted this on the discord but it might be more of a Slitherine thing than a MuHa thing so I figured I'd chuck it here too. I'm not sure if it's doable but I've always hoped someone would somehow track down Steve Barcia or some of the Simtex guys to talk about making MoM and MoO1&2. You semi of...

Re: Master of Magic: Development Diary #9 - March 2022

Again, just adding a bit color would make the UI Design much more appealing: https://media.gettr.com/group43/origin/2022/04/01/13/b212c746-6532-1ae1-628f-673164ba3036/e4d43b0d596ee0aac86eeb56fb649ae5.png https://media.gettr.com/group43/origin/2022/04/01/13/7efc3f82-09e4-d88a-24d9-3333b7843a13/959bec...

I am stoked to play as it originally was, then hope for some expansion. We have to commit to it first!
Yes, some DLC or expansion with multiplayer mode if it sells well.

Re: Master of Magic: Development Diary #8 - February 2022

This is an extremely badly done makeover. I just made a test turning the titles and buttons into a standard mono blue, without even a color gradient. Of course such design choices are subjective. https://i.ibb.co/9wDhCrv/f6f7513c03a15f93b1a02e6c46159ec73654bea0-2.png https://i.ibb.co/R20Sz6Y/e606bdc...

Did you try to give the titles and buttons in the main menu and user interface a blue-gray or blue-green color?

The Torin icon looks great, good work!

The graphics have become nicer. The battle field looks still a bit "empty" though. It would help to include more & dense woods, hills, maybe even a river and a bridge.

I'll share some of your pictures if you don't mind. You desperately need more advertising & your art is nice enough.
