Hey guys! :)
I didn't think any MoM forums existed anymore! I used to chat on a forum of an old MoM 2 rally website 10 or so years ago but after that vanished I hadn't seen any others until now when I discovered the Realms Beyond MoM forum and the kind folks there told me about here!
Eight months ago I re-installed MoM in Dosbox and loaded my old savegames from 1998 and picked up right where I left off conquering Myrran and then invading the earth like world. I spent a lot of my teenage years in the 90s playing MoM so it was so much fun to play it again all these years later. When I finally finished my game I decided to make a tribute page on my retro website paying tribute to MoM along with listing the great many successful & sadly unsuccessful MoM related fan projects out there to make sure that they are never forgotten and can inspire talented MoM fans to create new MoM projects in the future. I also created a list of other games out there that are similar to MoM as there are many spiritual sequels these days. For these lists I collected pics, vids, demos, and information for as many of them as possible. I could use some help from the community with this list as I'm sure there's more I don't know about. This is my latest summary of the website list below.

Master of Magic Legacy Games list (Updated 10/11/2021) :
Normally when I do these pages I get a lot of help from the forum communities to find all the long lost projects out there but until now I thought there was no MoM communities left so I've been searching on my own. Now that I've found this place I bet there's a whole bunch of projects you guys know that I don't. So if you know of a game series I've missed that's very similar to MoM, a fan game based on MoM, or a large scale mod project related to MoM please let me know! :) Blake00 (talk) 05:12, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- In case of Master of Magic, the most important things to know are the unofficial 1.40 patch (improving AI, fixing half of the bugs) and save game editors (especially Real-Time Tweaker), see the Introduction page. I have never really played MoM mods, and I don't see much reason to do so. The most important mods are probably the ones listed in the headers of the RealmsBeyond forums: Catnip, Ziky, Aureus Mod, Asfex Mod, Unnamed Zitro Mod. There's also a Mod page on this Wiki, people didn't care about editing it though.
- Endless Legend seems to be a decent game. Didn't know about that one. It lacks magic though (and combat is pretty untactical). In case of Age of Wonders 1, there's the Community Content Pack which includes the most important mods, user campaigns and maps. -- 94.223.135.232 06:23, August 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks guys! Been a while since I last visited so I thought I'd update the list! Am more looking at entire games and totan conversion mods, not so much all the little mods at realms. Anyway I've created a new Official MoM games section/category to better match the website now that we're getting all these official releases from Slitherine. Naturally original MoM itself was already there but now I've added the old Playstation 1 conversion Civizard, the new official Master of Magic Remake, and copied over Caster of Magic I & II from the fan section since Slitherine has made them official addons. By request I've also added Deity Empires to the very similar games section too. Some of these updates haven't been made on my MoM website yet but I'll get to it eventually. At least this list is up to date again though lol! Thanks to everyone who's contacted me publicly and privately with suggestions. :) Blake00 (talk) 05:12, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
