The wizard can win by eliminating his opponents or researching and completing the casting of the ultimate spell: the Spell of Mastery. The player defines his wizard's strengths and possible weaknesses and builds his strategy around them, planning his moves, researching spells, creating artifacts and hiring (or summoning) heroes to fight his battles. However, the game combines these elements in a unique manner, as the player pursues the ultimate goal of becoming the one and only Master of Magic. City building is based on Civilization's superb model, tactical battles and hero management are based largely on Master of Orion and the elaborate magic system is obviously based on Magic the Gathering. This classic fantasy strategy game combines elements from many other sources, such as MicroProse's own Civilization and Master of Orion computer games and Magic the Gathering collectible card game. As each is conquered, you gain new servants and spells to serve your cause. Victory is achieved through the elimination of the opposing wizards. As you explore, you can conquer enemy or neutral towns and then produce armies and creatures available only to these other races. At the same time, you can send out parties of adventurers led by Heroes to explore two differnet planes of reality and the numerous lairs, towers, temples, and dungeons contained within. In MoM, you must manage the gathering of different resources, including mana (mystical energy), as well as ensuring that you produce enough food and gold to supply and pay your armies. Assuming the role of one of several predefined wizards, each with their own powers and abilities, or designing your own custom wizard, you take control of a fantastical race of creatures and lead them to victory. Master of Magic (or MoM) is a complex turn-based strategy game encompassing a rich fantasy world, with spell design and casting, diplomacy, exploration, empire building, and combat.
