Well, I know. I'm really enjoying AoW2 right now. Without RMG, it won't last, but as long as there are still unplayed maps, it's a blast.

RMG??

I've seen it here in the states for 30$. Makes me wonder about it since it started soooo cheap compared to others. Can't say that AoW1 kept my interest. Seemed like the same thing over and again.

RMG I guess it Random Map Generator. Not bad, but if they have an editorto create new maps, that is enough. I rarely use randam maps or skirmish, too hemogenous.

Random maps for a game such as AoW is rather silly. It might work for SMAC or Civ, but not all games are that way.

I tried to give it a try but it won't work. Posted the problem on their forum, but no reply. Oh well.

UR: I disagree. I think RMGs are possible even for games where terrain can be a obstacle. Sure, it takes a lot of work to do it right, but I think it's worth it.

The one reason I don't think AoW2 is going to repalce MOM is that there ain't no RMG.

Moo2 in XP or 2000

Anyone figured out a way to do this? I have tried and tried and nothing yet. Unfortunately my computer now has NO video drivers for 98 so I am Mooless.

Vmxa1 has Moo2 running in XP.

I am running on XP PRO with no updates, straight out of the box. I have a Radeon 8500 cards and the sound is on the motherboard. Every game I have tried works fine, except Ascendancy. It runs, but the mouse is very jerky. You can play, but the mouse moves very slowly? Moo works and even has sound again. Moo2 is at 1.31, the only problem I have had with is with a few saved games I found on the web and I corrected them with the editor. I had crashes in Moo2 in Windows 95 and 98. I think it is the Win95 version, the box says Dos and Win95. If you are having problems two places to go: 1) Microsoft has a page with compat issue and a tool you can download that will run throught all the modes. 2) ntcompatible, it has threads on games and issues in NT/Xp.

Am I the only one to notice that the title of main page of www.masteroforion2.com says Master Of Oiron II?

Maybe it's possible.

MoM was designed to play on random maps, Aow 2 isn't. So you are asking a program to subsitute for human intelligence when generating a map, doing all the balancing and stuff.

The chance is very slim.

Doesn't AoW 2 come with a nifty editor?

[vmxa1]

Sure does.

A fan mod wow. It's always good to see the fans are often care more for the game than the designer did. After some years they abandon their game completely and only promote their newer ones it's a shame but thank goodness the brave fans are here and keeping great great games like MOO (and of course 2) alive.
