help Master of Magic FAQ

What are Arcanus and Myrror in Master of Magic?

Master of Magic is built around two linked worlds: Arcanus and Myrror. Arcanus is the more familiar fantasy world, while Myrror has rarer resources and powerful races, making planar travel a major strategic goal.

How is Master of Magic different from Civilization?

It shares 4X basics like cities, research, expansion, and conquest, but it adds wizard customization, spell books, fantasy races, heroes, and tactical battles. The magic system is central rather than decorative, with schools such as Life, Death, Chaos, Nature, and Sorcery.

Who originally developed Master of Magic?

The original game was developed by Simtex and published by MicroProse in the 1990s. Simtex is also known for Master of Orion, which explains why Master of Magic has a similarly dense empire-building structure.

Is the 2022 Master of Magic a remake of the original?

Yes. Slitherine published a modern Master of Magic remake in 2022, developed by MuHa Games and Eerie Forest Studio. It keeps the wizard-led 4X premise while updating the interface and presentation for modern PC players.
