Game needs a reset so you can grind it again with your Uber endgame party. And it needs a difficulty setting up to 10 where each increment 10-25% harder.

M&M 2 on the snes had a lot of fun bugs that could be exploited. Like the broken disintegrate or the 3 giants giving gazillion moneys and xp.

Steps:

1-create shitty party
2-go get Mr. Wizard
3-Teleport to mountain where giants are
4-disintegrate (read with Dalek voice)
5-Profit

PS: The incredible amount of useless old video game trivia I posses sometimes scares me

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Just any old giants spot?

 

[octavius]

The ones that chop, dice and slice.

Maybe they were called berserkers. Need to check now

Cuisinarts.

Thank you kind sir. This is the exact sequence to follow:

could only find the video for the genesis version of the game (cuisinarts in snes have the original model, not the man-at-arms type of genesis) but same drill

The "profit" of this cunning tactic is that you remove all challenge and fun from the rest of the game.

I didn't say it was fun and challenging, just said it is an exploit

 

[Dorateen]

I remember using that tactic, not for our main adventuring party, but for the extra characters who were created for bringing along on the class specific quests. A quick way to get them up to speed.

I also remember M&M 6 being extremely adictive. Nice graphics for the time too. Gameplay loop was a bit repetitive but man, the game was such a hardcore drug that I did not mind.

I have always thought it looked hideous; especially given how beautiful four and five looked.

It has this weird graphics that tried to look "real" , specially the character portraits. I kinda liked it :D

I never played 4 and 5, are they recommended? It is one of the few sagas I did not play.

Wasn’t 6 during the time 3D polygonal graphics was hot on the scene for all modern platforms. 2D in all its forms was thought to be phasing out to get this hot bitch 3D titties in your face. 3D Titty slap after Titty slap.

Side Note: has anyone had their Might & Magic maps made into cloth maps? Paper were fine but damn cloth maps would be pretty cool. Maybe make ultima 1 maps cloth as well.

One site I found.

It was 1998 so yeah, it was the beginning of the golden age of 3dfx

I noticed 6-8 models were kind of close (making me think of claymation a little). 9 looked like they were trying to do something a little different but obviously it was also rushed. Was 6-9 all rushed to a degree? It seems like it. If you were playing heroes alongside the RPG series you might like the crossover lore. I found it interesting enough but the Heroes sucked me in away from the main games after Xeen (this never finishing 6-9… well, I only got 9 via GOG.)

Damn, don't mention Heroes. I am playing HoMM3 again with this Horn of the Abyss mod
No life

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Hahaha! Oh the heroes community site. Bah! They deleted my old profile. Now I’m just Keighn the newb there. Bah!

Have you tried the Might and Magic 6,7,8 Merge Redone mod?
M6-7-8 Merge Redone

 

[Storyfag]

The new textures and plants help, especially with M&M7. Not a fan of random roofs added over sections of road or worse, over already roofed buildings/tents.

Still, good enough reason to replay the MMMerge mod.

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm horrified with what I imagine has happened with the balance of an already unbalanced series of games.

M6-7-8 Merge Redone

impressive
very nice
the main menu art looks very bad though, why not use AI to generate some high fantasy goodness

 

[TheDeveloperDude]

I began on Emerald Island (MM7). Where is the Platinum Ring? I was able to buy the Pearl Ring. I hope I do not have to check every tree, weed, flower and rock.

In M&M games you can always go (almost) anywhere anytime. Of course it is unbalanced.

 

[TheDeveloperDude]

I love the paper dolls of M&M6-7-8. It is looking great.
I have been playing the (pure) Merge mod.
I did not like the Merge Redone's additional flowers/trees/rebuildings. It was confusing. And the minimap showed the original layout.
