.... Ultima Underworld? (there's a site, but nothing happened there
since 2003)

.... System Shock? (almost same thing)

.... Terra Nova? (heard there's something going on, but dunno when and
where)

thanks!

I would like a remake of Master of Magic (not an RPG but still).
I would like remakes of any RPGs like the old ones where I don't need
quick reflexes but a smart mind to play

yeah Age of Wonders has nothing to do with Master of Magic really. I
played and kinda liked AoW 1 and 2, but it's certainly different

I said they have nothing to do with each other, which is false, they do
have similarities, but it's not quite the same for some reason, or
maybe it's my memory of MoM that you know how memory tends to make old
things seem better than they were.
Can anyone with a good memory explain the differences between AoW and
MoM?

I didn't like it - it was too much like Heroes of Might & Magic, and too
little like Master of Magic.

Arx Fatalis isn't so bad if you haven't played it already.

I agree 100% with that sentiment. Same goes for AOW2.

Having never played MoM, I love AoW. Only negative thing is the AI; the
computer is too timid and won't attack unless 100% sure of winning. In the
meantime the AI splits its forces and allow me to whittle it down slowly.
But I guess a proper AI is really the hardest thing to program.
Anyone know which of the AI playting styles (Agressive, Defensive etc) it
plays best?
