Diminishing returns. If you already have 127 Int, 50 more will not do much.

I like bitching. Doesn't mean I don't like the game.
Finished the game. I have no idea what happened. Some guys landed and needed to get something from the planet? But split up and one side went Good, other went Evil?
Then they got the cube or whatever and teleported to some old station that can open a portal to anywhere. That's it?
"Kreegans", "silence", "war", none of it tells me anything.
No big boss at the end felt like a let down.

Wife tells me to play 8 next, but the vote here says 8 is basically shit and 6 is where it's at? How come?

6 > 10 >= 8 > 7
Then how come it's got a terrible rating in this thread's vote?

New to the series, downloaded MMMerged mod but I all I want from it is just to complete original MM7 storyline for now. Really like how smooth everything works on my modern system with this mod. However, I have a couple of questions:
1) Will there be a clear indication when I'll finish mm7 campaign?
2) My party is KCSS but I'm using portraits and paper dolls from MM8 (vampires and minotaur). Will there be any restrictions for me if I'll only play mm7 part? Like unfitting equipment or class progression. AFAIK these portraits are purely cosmetical and the only thing that matters is that I started on Antagarich, so my minotaur-looking-cleric is just regular cleric from mm7

Hmm I might start MM1 again or maybe MM6.

I've put 4 hours in Might and Magic Book 1 and so far I've walked in circles around the city trying to make enough money to buy equipment. Unfortunately, I keep getting enough exp to level up which costs all the money I was going to buy equipment with. Level 4 now. Hopefully I'll get out of the first town within the next few weeks.

Sounds familiar. Make sure to search after every fight.

Levels are important for all characters, but it might be worth focusing on levels for your spellcasters, and equipment for everyone else at first. I don't recall needing to grind levels much at all in this one; once you've explored/survived the town map, you should be able to explore the dungeon beneath it, and then from there you can start exploring outside a bit.
If you're coming at this game with a Wizardry mindset, note that it's quite different. In most situations, it's better to treat every single battle as a life or death struggle, and cast all your best spells. You can camp once you're out of spell points, with almost zero chance of being ambushed.

In early games levels are needed for all characters, you don't want fighters which made of glass. Magic is even prohibited is some zones. Camping is useful, but there is a small chance for ambushes, and in certain dangerous areas camping isn't allowed at all. Many fights are trivial after a few levels and with decent equipment. I highly suggest to backtrack to the inn relativeley regularly. You can adventuring, but many failed runs are almost guaranteed. And this is fun.
The problem was that I was battling the above ground monsters and getting 50 - 150 xp but only 0 - 3 shekels. After adventuring in the dungeon, I got all my equipment bought up, level 5 training and a bunch of extra money in about an hour. The rest of the game should be a light spring breeze now!
EDIT: never mind it isn't a spring breeze at all.

Oh!?? Hmmmm….. now that is interesting.
I have a question: Everyone says in FAQs and such to go grind on dragon encounters in Might and Magic 1 late game. They say this like it's no big deal. So, I try it and red dragons do up to 80 damage per breath when I have 75% fire resist, dancing sword does 2 to 5 damage usually, moon beam never does more than 2 damage, meteor shower the same. It takes an entire round of melee attacks to take out one of 6+ dragons. What's the secret here?
The FAQ is wrong. You don't have to grind. And Dragon Town is optional.
But if you want the best drops, get into the castle Castle Doom, trigger the alarm, and clear out the Monster Breeding Grounds.
I can't remember the best tactics against dragons, though.
It probably involves having your Cleric casting Power Cure every round, or something.

Those breeding grounds are a really great tip, thanks buddy. 6,000+ experience points per battle and tons of treasure without being reduced to cinders in a single round. Of course, some monster down there stole my backpack full of all the quest items I found over the course of this extremely long game... OH WELL!!
Running around in real time and dodging all their breath attacks, duh.

What level are you? I also wonder how bad the c64 port is as when I played my old crew a few decades ago I was ripping the shit out of everything. If the old c64 worked I’d boot it up and take a pic of their stats and gear. I just know I got tired of resetting that hour glass to get my age down. No wonder the dinosaurs are extinct…. I KILLED THEM ALL!
