Uhm, what does it do?

There is a .pdf document that lists all the changes in the update. Here is the Foreword:
 

The changes in this version were primarily motivated to 1) balance
races, units, heroes, and magic realms; 2) edit out or around the
various bugs in the game, including many spells; and 3) fix a wide
number of text mistakes and ambiguities.  
 
The end result is that there should be a reason to make every kind
of unit, at least in some game circumstances, making combined
arms a little more common than in the basic game. In so doing, the
AI “should” be a little better, as their inefficient choices are better
rewarded.

All thanks to Aureus

Some interesting stuff, I still have my 3.5" disks for the game so may just load it up. :)

The website dedicated to MoM also has a number of other interesting downloads. Check it out.

The mods on that site look interesting. I guess it must be quite an effort to hack the assembler code of the game to fix bugs and change things.

I have to admit: EWOM or no EWOM, there is no substitute for clasic MOM!!

 

We need a group of coders to remake it, and come up with a high quality open source project like OpenTTD. And it should have  extras like mods, pluggable AI modules and other wonderful things :D
