Yep.... definitely not related. As it happens, I'm playing through a game of MM7 right now. Just waiting for the war, and for the judge to die.
One of the best sites is Flamestryke's (
www.flamestryke.com). There are links to a few others out there from that one. You can also access the community boards at 3do, where there's an MM Archives board for everything below MM9 (I think). I wander over there every so often.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask away. A quick one or two can probably be addressed here, but anything extended should go to the other board.
