Ah, Age of Wonders! I tried to like it, I really did, because it incorporated a lot of MOM's elements.. in the end, though, I couldn't because of 1) the tiny, tiny charcters (even on my 19" monitor, in 640x480, the elemental beasts look like a tiny brown smudge) and 2) the inability to make your own towns. That's why I had such a hard time warming to it (as well as the HOMM series)) ..my favorite part of CIV and MOM was slowly expanding my empire, accessing the maximum potential of the surrounding areas for city growth, sending my delicate settlers out into forbidden wilds to start a new outpost.
Still, I found AOW for $15 in a bargain bin.. soon I shall pick it up, when I finally can't stand to load up the original MoM anymore *lol*
