Posts from You can enjoy the game even without Might and Magic.

To my deep regret ... for some reason my Web [antivirus] flagged the game archive file for XP as malicious ... I never actually got around to playing it ... it feels kind of risky dealing with viruses :)

Do you really think I would publish a virus-infected file? That is simply impossible.

Dr.Web does indeed say that the file is infected :) but what it writes is called: "modification of APE.based", which in other words means it suspects it's a virus, while stating that the application has been modified. And when I published it, I said that the game was unofficial (Russian) — an official Russian Arcomage does not exist; therefore, to make a Russian version, whoever made it had to modify the game resources.

In fact, other antiviruses, including the respected Kaspersky with the latest databases, don't even consider suspecting this distribution for viruses, because there simply aren't any here :).

Undoubtedly, this raises suspicions of a virus... and the fact that it's interpreted as a suspicion of modification... and even that it turns out to be the case... but who knows what else those same developers (modifiers) might have added to the original code of the program (which may perform not only the functions of localizing the program). And what else this code might do is what I simply wanted to say in my post above.

I don't think so; the developers were fans of Arcomage, not hackers, so I don't think there will be such a problem.

It's not worth suspecting them so much, especially since Kaspersky Antivirus, and other antivirus programs, should be trusted, and they say that everything is fine

Hello! If anyone wants to play this game online, they can do so on the website http://www.heroeswm.ru/ in the "Tavern" section.

Is there a version available that allows playing online (via a server or IP address)?

Isn't there a patched version for XP?
Playing online will cost a fortune.
Especially when you pay for time, not for megabytes.

well, if that's the case, set it to unlimited. then you can play online as much as you want.

You can play Arcomage online, either solo or against an opponent. ***************Ice Throne Game********************** http://ice.magov.net You are one of many inhabitants of the Kingdom. You have been granted lands. A tower sustains life on these lands. Buildings are located on the lands, where your "people" live. Each land initially has a set number of buildings, and the number of buildings corresponds to the number of people that arrive over a certain period of time. The period of time during which the population grows corresponds to real time. The more lands you have, the greater the population growth will be. To expand your estate, you need to capture the lands of others. Want to try your hand in battle and see if luck is still on your side...? The game has minimal traffic.

This was the coolest game of that time. I searched for it for years and finally found it on a portal with another equally cool game:smile49:.

Cool game that appeared in Might and Magic and Space Rangers 2.

The game is good; I remember playing it a lot when it first came out. Now I play Berserk Online or with a friend. And what inspired me to do that was Arcomage.

Has the issue with online play under XP been resolved? Even though it's possible to emulate Windows 98 under Wine on Linux, most people still use XP. This is one of those dreams I've had since 2001. The second is the release of Might and Magic X, in which I would like to participate.

We recently started developing a new Arcomage game from scratch (completely in Russian), which will work in all color modes and on all Windows systems. Currently, I have almost completely implemented its programming part. I tried to make it as similar as possible to my version and the old version of Arcomage. This will be an exclusively free online game, with a system similar to Battle.net. That is, it will search for an opponent of comparable skill and keep statistics on games played in this way. Of course, there will also be the possibility of playing private games, and I might even add the ability to watch other players' games. (sorry for the pun). A chat will also be added to the game. Data exchange will be as simple and secure as possible, via TCP/IP through port 80, because in many companies, offices often close all ports except 80. After the complete implementation of Arcomage, we will focus on developing the game, adding new cards, with the possibility of playing both classic Arcomage and our expanded version. We plan to coordinate any additions, changes, and modifications with players who have reached a certain rating in the game. The first demo version is expected to be released at the end of June or even earlier. The project will be available at: arcomage.ru and arcomage.org The development is carried out by: Kwinta Development Group (kwinta.net) For assistance with development or similar questions, write to: arcomage@kwinta.net (the website http://arcomage.ru is not yet functional)

It's almost the end of June, right?

I downloaded the Russian version of Arcomage. It's simply awesome! Thank you so much!!!
