finally I managed to finish several RGP games and to install good old AOWSM with all 1000 mods and patches so I´d be up for a PBEM if anybody is interested :)
It´s been a while when I last played this pearl of a game but I contributed some maps during the years 2003-2013...
I prefer man-made maps to random maps and especially I like mods but i´d also play 1.4 of course.
If anybody is up for it I´d also like to start a testgame on my last map "Secret of the runeblades" which I made for the all new 1.5 patch. players should be at least 3 better 4-5.
Also maybe in Dwiggs Mod my Descent to Undermountain map ?
Just ideas - any PBEM would be fine.

PM some of the irregular "regulars" to get a game going. I'm on sabbatical from AoW for awhile, but quite a few of the others should be game! :)

Haven't tried any mods or patches but I'm willing to try whatever! Getting tired of random generated 7 AI offline play, n never played this online before, so I hope we can make a game happen!

You're in for quite the time, I suspect. The AI has some very different quirks from humans. :)

I'm not in, btw. Playing other games in my little free time atm.

Once you go human, you can never go back. Definitely not kidding...

The first time you put a stack of concealed units in some woods with a visible, lonely scout in an adjacent hex and sucker some other player into thinking they'd score some free XP for a solo hero is a truly a magnificent day.

It does take a little while to get used to the rhythm of PBEM though. I'd suggest playing a 1v1 with another player to get a good handle on it before jumping into a big game.

Ooh I never even think about those abilities n spells. One day I could be the annoying jerk who casts domain of darkness, instead of the hapless victim waddling into danger. I'm getting excited! :P

Things like Concealment suddenly matter a lot. AI is immune to it, but your human opponents aren't. And neither are you.

Sure, I'd like to play, with or without any mod or map. I tried both those maps versus AI and liked them, but I'm bored of AI so I stopped playing. Would liek to play them with humans.
I'm up for playing 1v1s with the two of you if you want to practise multiplayer, both in terms of how the email wrapper works and what it's like playing versus another person.

Nice catch, Domain of Darkness is possibly THE strongest spell in multiplayer (though it could be because it's mostly Mimo who was using it last...

"Strongest spell" (period) is hard to say, but it is definitely a contender for strongest Domain spell. Several of the others can be annoying (like Fire and Poison), but Darkness is the one that will actively screw with your opponents even if they aren't wandering through your domain, since your heroes can spread the darkness without your opponent's implicit consent. Also, keeping your opponents (literally!) in the dark is a wonderful advantage.

I'd quite like to play that Undermountain game even as a 1v1
