If you don't have time now, it can wait - a (free) update is in the works and will likely be out around Thanksgiving or winter break.<br /><br />What is Terraria? - you may ask. It's... like 2D Metroidvania Minecraft, but with more and better crafting, more and better combat, challenging bosses, rich and surprising worlds to explore full of varied and beautifully realized "biomes," and continued support with massive free updates.Confanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361443460498670841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-16835753031561184452014-11-14T18:37:32.194-05:002014-11-14T18:37:32.194-05:00Odd, I don't even remember an option for autom...Odd, I don't even remember an option for automatic combat. It certainly never did that to me.<br /><br />My current copy is also from GoG with its DOSBox install, but I do also have my own DOSBox w/front end to run some old games that have been moving from hard drive to hard drive since the floppy days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-90633895055073791632014-11-14T17:43:46.118-05:002014-11-14T17:43:46.118-05:00Nevermind, I found the "automatic combat"...Nevermind, I found the "automatic combat" setting.

Anything I engage with just automatically resolved the fight. Usually with, "You have been defeated." I can't seem to get tactical combat working . . . is that a bug, or a "feature," of the unofficial patch?Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-26374884206136579472014-11-14T16:02:48.075-05:002014-11-14T16:02:48.075-05:00How is it compared to AOW2?

I played AOW2, and it was okay, but like I said above, it didn't really grab me.<br /><br />Either way it will have to wait - my policy is one game at a time.

It's just easier to pay GOG $3 and have them set it up for me.<br /><br />AOW2 I played, too, but it never grabbed me like MOM did. It just didn't hold my interest very long.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-30207455985827243252014-11-14T14:37:54.715-05:002014-11-14T14:37:54.715-05:00Try AoW3 -- it's very good as well and availab...Try AoW3 -- it's very good as well and available from GOG.

I recommend you look at the unofficial <a href="http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=3663" rel="nofollow">1.4 patch</a>, which fixes various problems, and makes the AI a bit more competent (it's a little 'one-note' in tactical combat at the moment). I also ended up writing up some of my <a href="http://www.rindis.com/blog/tag/master-of-magic" rel="nofollow">adventures</a> with it (started on a 'what have you been playing lately' list).<br /><br />I recommend you look at <i>Age of Wonders 2</i> someday as the closest thing to a sequel <i>MoM</i> has ever had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
