I like to start the bounty quests almost from the beginning. It certainly offers an opportunity to be profitable, and the last reward provides very good experience for any party members. Doing the bounties, quests, and ridding each area of enemies(except the starting island) will certainly keep you ...

I'll ignore the part where you admitted you pirated the game. :devil: In regards to MM8, I've played thru it multiple times and I think if you avoid the balance issues mentioned it's still an OK. I'll be posting an MM8 character creation video soon where I'll discuss the game a bit and have a planne...

I'm sure I'll catch flak for saying this, but Might & Magic needs to stay dead as an RPG series. The reason I'm saying this is due to the fact that nobody has a budget besides Bethesda or possibly Stardock to take the time to make a return worth the effort. The emphasis is now on very high end g...

Have you tried working with the TELP Taverns? Working with any other site bears the risk of it going out of action. I wish I could help, but I reached the limit for size on my Web page a long time ago.

HodgePodge hated this game. I can't think of a real reason to buy it unless there is absolutely nothing else worth playing(and even then, a replay of a classic would likely be a much better choice).

Let's look at the reality for a moment before asking for a new M&M title. There are RPGs out there that are quite good for graphics and gameplay. I don't see how M&M could compete with them in it's M&M 6-8 state. Let's not forget that Diablo 3 is in progress, so I think it's very smart t...

Ok, I got confirmation that the GoG version is 1.2, but it still may need the Mok patch to truly fix. Version 1.2 of MM6 introduces door bugs in the dungeons of Castle Kriegspire and one other place.

GoG release of MM6 Limited Edition

It's the Limited Edition, which needs its own special patching procedure. Check the MM6.EXE file to determine if it's version 1.0 before patching. See my site at http://members.cox.net/dave.caspermeyer/ for the 1.1 to 1.2 upgrades(if you want them) and please follow the recommended patching. I check...

I did some digging on the error, and it was reported but not solved on IGN's boards. So, more investigation revealed the possible culprit. Assertion Failed is usually caused by a corrupt registry entry. The most common reason is caused when new programs are installed over all old ones that are not c...

I did a few solo runs in MM8, since it was the one that seemed quickest to do those runs. I did Minotaur, Troll, and Cleric solo runs. I can't recall any others, and I doubt I'll feel in a replay mood for the series any time soon.

Yes, you should have gotten a cloth map. I'm sorry that you got robbed for what you should have received. I just hope you did not pay too much for what you got, although it's hard to top $10 at a swap meet a long time ago.

One cloth map of Enroth, but the other ones are photo paper. You should also have a mini strategy guide for MM6, and the CD should have a holograph quality dragon on the top.

Try running just the executable file(mm7.exe) without compatibility. I wonder if the setup program is causing issues.

All save files should be in the Saves folder. IIRC, a new Saves folder is created once a new party is created. Just copy the files from the Saves folder onto your new machine, and you should be good to go. Let us know if you still have problems. Your hopefully helpful Minotaur.
