The Heroes Round Table

6 and 7 only allowed two hired NPCs each, but you could have an infinite number of quest-related NPCs in the party at once otherwise (in MM7, rescuing the dwarves and working on the Wizard and Paladin promotion quests all at the same time gives you 9 NPCs to shuffle through). Merge doesn't properly ...

As I said above, it's because it's easy to miss. MM7 didn't require it at all (and The Pit doesn't even have an eligible fountain), and MM6 the central fountains are actually central . In MM8 even when you remember that it's explicitly required, you're playing "find the right fountain" hal...

You are drinking from the town fountains before trying to TP, right? I've made this mistake before is this an original mm8 bug? Sigh. "Town Portal teleports the party to any town where the party has drunk from the central fountain ." In-game spell descriptions, read them. In fairness, thi...

I get "error: address unreachable" trying to follow that forum link.

The aging effects make more sense in the context of unnatural ageing. MM6 is rife with it (mostly as an excuse to seek out the Fountain of Youth before tracking down the four memory crystals), MM7 and 8 not so much. I know the NWC-era games had "die from old age" but that's not a thing fro...

I usually play at 5% bolster, to get the modified AI and abilities without having any extra health on the monsters. You can set the bolster strength in the Controls menu, under Extra Settings

Honestly, the big change I would make is to add a guaranteed Scroll of Dimension Door to chests that we know a player has to open during a normal playthrough of each continent, thereby guaranteeing the player will find enough scrolls to finish all the content. Places like the Control Cube Chest in t...

At what point can you jump to the other continents? Do you need to have certain quests finished? The key to cross-timeline travel is casting Town Portal at a High Magic Spot. You aren't particularly locked behind story progression so much as you're locked behind Water Mastery. In Jadame this is tri...

Cauri returning to her home residence instead of going straight to the Adventurer's Inn would probably be a good solution to that little problem, since her butler already handles any post-rescue Patriarch promotions. We could put the progress check there instead of on Cauri directly (with her progre...

It would be easier to verify if MM8 didn't do "dynamic donations" - the more extreme your reputation, the more the temple takes per donation

pretty much. You can cheat it by using the two way portal between New Sorpigal and the shrine of the gods in Dragonsand, but it's a pain in the ass since you can only take up to 10k gold from NWC at any given time.

Might I suggest checking your reputation score? MM6 has more extreme swings in reputation than 8 does, and reputation affects different things compared to 6 (I'm having the same "sell stuff for 1 gold" problem but my reputation is -90 and I don't have enough gold to quickly donate my way b...

I don't know for certain about other locations but Divine Intervention should still appear as part of the MM6 Obelisk Puzzle Reward. As for replication-ness, I believe but am not entirely certain that the DI book will still appear in its proper location in The Breeding Zone even if you opt to play D...

There are known problems with how the top spells in each school are distributed (since this also severely restricts the availability of Town Portal, which is critical to completing the Merge content). I'd suggest checking the Enroth Obelisk Puzzle Rewards first. This happens in the base games as we...

1) To my knowledge, the Necromancer class specifically is only promotable to Lich in Jadame (because that quest is specifically "Necromancer -> Lich" and not "Wizard -> Lich"), but Sorcerors from Enroth/Erathia can also promote to Liches by passing through the Erathian Wizard -> ...

Many thanks! Oh, one more thing. Is the system rigid like in M&M 7 where you choose either Light or Dark or is it flexible like in M&M 8 where you can get both? Do I have to postpone leveling whilst playing on the M&M 6 map? For the Antagarich part of the storyline, you are still forced...

That's kind of the opposite of what the OP is talking about - they're saying "an engine remake, but the player has to provide the copyrighted assets themselves" rather than "an all new game in the vein of the games"

The main examples for this scheme would be KeeperFX (for Dungeon Keeper) and the many, many source ports of Doom/Doom 2 (since the engine is GPL but the assets aren't, what OP describes is exactly what Doom source ports have to do). As I said before the main problem would be the crowdfunding aspect ...
