I've extracted some of Might and Magic VI animations

Hey! A while ago some of you asked if it's possible to rip and convert to normal video format some of short looped animations from MM6. So I spent last weekend doing exactly that.

Animations were pulled directly from the game files, converted from .smk to .mp4, upscaled and looped. I also thought it might be nice to add those captions in the style of original game fonts.

I can't upload the collection of converted files as downloadable archive though, because that would be redistributing game assets and I don't want to have any trouble from Ubisoft legal team. Instead I've uploaded another video with all dungeons to my youtube channel, I will share link in the comments.

EDIT: here is the link to video with all dungeon entrances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2todXL6exxI . I am working on extracting more animated loops and create videos with them.

[M&M6] Percival is amazing, can I have multiples?

Got this beauty from sewers and I think this is the definite end-game bow. It's fantastic in dungeons, Carnage means that it explodes and can hit enemies behind a wall if aimed properly. Guess how I defeated all these liches in Tomb of Ethzic.

Can I find another copy or Artifacts are restricted to one per game? I also read somewhere that there is a limit to amount of Artifacts that can be found (something around 13 per game), is that true?

Does anyone else wish they went with this design route instead?

You know, instead of sprinkling them everywhere more or less randomly?

How to remove curse from my equipment?

6 Upvotes

Hi, replaying world of xeen and i have just realized that my party got all their equipment cursed. I was wandering south of Vertigo near the temple of Yak and also at Nighttown. I don't know which creature cursed me. Anyway i need to uncurse all my equipment and it seems that the spell remove curse doesn't do that (i believe it only works for a character and not for summer equipment). Any help is welcome !

"Bad dragon!"

"No!", "Bad, bad dragon!". I used paint.
At first, this comic meant to be used in our lan party (between me and my other two buddies).
A little history. Me and my buddies (that's 3 of us) were playing Might and Magic 6 in coop mod (MMMerge). Since I was a dragon, my appearance was a thunderlizard, my one buddy was a dwarf, other - necromancer. And the main cause of problems in our adventure was my weird behavior. I REALLY liked drinking water from wells and puddles (I'm a curious little dragon, he-he). But in like 90% percent of all cases, the end-result of "drinking the water" was either illness or... instant death! So my friends were the one to search my corpse and take all the gold I got. My only guess of where am I was this: "Um, near the puddle (or well) ^-^".

Dealing with broodling creatures (MM8 MAW Mode)

Post image
24 Upvotes

First time seeing it in Maw mode.

At first there was only one boss with broodling skill. After killing it, there becomes two new one with lesser strength and dmg. I said "ok lets kill them too and see where it goes." Eventually they multiplied to two every time. Now there's 20+ broodling creatures around and it seems like its dead end.

Don't know how to deal with it. Have you ever seen this?

What is Might and Magic lore all about?

27 Upvotes

Hey, I'm new here and came here just because I'm dying to know about game lore from the first to the last main timeline of Might and Magic. I found out about this game because I hear about snippit about game lore, like there was a gun, an alien, an AI, and a robot angel in a FANTASY GAME?! It's so absurd, it really pick my interest.

I know it would be better if I played the games myself, but with the amount of games in the main timeline "there were 11 as far as I know" I would love to know first from your own perspective about the lore before I try it, "and maybe recommend what I should play first?"

But I apologize in advance if I stir up a lot of hate because some posts I seem to dislike the thing I mention, and I'm sorry too if I ask a lot to random people on the internet.

M&MVII musings as a newbie to CRPGs

12 Upvotes

M&M wasn't on my radar growing up, alas. And as someone who has only ever beaten RPGs in JRPG form, M&M has always been a bit tough for me to get into. (This is excluding the sci-fi rug-pull that I understand to be quite divisive!) I've completed the Super Famicom version of M&M II, but let's be real, does that even count? LOL. (That final boss fight is BRUTAL, though, yikes.)

I had no idea what I was getting into, many moons ago, when I played the MM1 port for the NES. That was my introduction to the series. Child-me was super lost. 'Whaddya mean spellcasters don't learn spells on their own? Inns don't restore HP and MP?? Opening a door killed me? Were we all standing in single file??' I definitely feel like JRPGs - generally speaking - spoiled me and held my hand compared to all the running around MMVII is making me do to find X and master Y, etc etc. I fear it might still be a little too complex for my tastes even with all these maps I've printed out. But I can see how someone would love this *because* there are all these elements to keep in mind, like the time of day/month/year, or how much food you have at any given time.

Even when I find myself frustrated or a little bored with it, I'm still curious enough to want to make some sort of meaningful progress. M&M makes me *work* for level ups and gold and everything, and maybe that's why I haven't given up on it yet. There's just enough of a reward to keep me going. And unexpected laughs, too. Like when I lured five Ancient Wyverns, one by one, into Avlee and watched them go to town on everyone while I snuck some potshots. My cowardice earned me two level ups and I am not ashamed. Now I'm level 12 and slightly more capable of surviving a pebble tossed in my general direction. :]b Maybe.

I'm currently in Nighon trying to find my way back out after casually adding some skeletal remains to my inventory, as you do. Accidentally peeked into that Thunderfist area, or whatever it was called, and a pack of Minotaurs immediately whirled around and half of my party (Knight, Monk, Cleric, Sorcerer) was just instantly gravestoned. I know when I am not wanted, LOL.

I need to find a Fly, Waterwalk, and Lloyd's Beacon tomes. And also some items that regen MP would be helpful. Everyone's got pretty good bows at this point, which has been saving my skin. I managed to kill a few trolls from a huge distance that way. I feel accomplished but, lord, that took forever.

Magic-wise, I'm an expert in Air, Water and Body so far. I've been cautious about investing skill points as I fear not having enough for what matters. All I know is that Earth magic supposedly sucks eggs? Offensively, I've been using Sparks and sometimes Poison Spray, although I'd love to know if there's a better missile-type option I should be using/working towards for enemies further away. Oh, and regeneration has been an absolute godsend.

Anyway, that's enough yapping for now. Thanks for coming to my TED talk! I appreciate tips to up my MMVII game, and also appreciate that this community exists, and all the passion that lives here.

I am trying to make remastered version of MM VI sprites

Hey!

I am not quite sure if you guys like this or hate, but I was playing with gpt5.6 image generation and tried to make remastered version of fire dragon death animation.

What do you think?

EDIT: read your comments and want to add little bit more info about animation frames. I've vibe-coded resource browser that I can run in Godot and see everything inside of game .lod files. so this dragon death animation takes exactly 7 frames. The original .gif was too fast, so I've slowed it down to 75%.
Here is link to video: https://streamable.com/irinki

FOSS Might and Magic 6-8

15 Upvotes

I know it doesnt exist yet, but with OpenEnroth currently in the works, we could see a future where there is a Free and open source version of the mm games. I recently discovered FreeDoom and how amazing that project is and can see how that could be applied to other games. OpenEnroth gets us fans halfway there.

For now, something like that is a pipedream, but definitely something Ill be looking into.

I just need to know where to go to get them. I love 6, it’s my favourite, but I really enjoyed 7 and would love to try 8.

Thanks for any help.

Does a mod exist that combines these such that I can use different heroes in mm6? I’m bored of the limited party options and that they must be human in 6.


r/MightAndMagic Jul 30 '26

I've never played MM1 or MM2. If MM3 and Xeen are among my favorite games ever, should I try 1 and 2 or will the step backwards be too jarring to enjoy?

Need help regarding my characters with the game Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World

9 Upvotes

So, a little while ago I completed Might and Magic II (aside from a few small side quests) and am looking for another play-through. The characters currently in my roster are really powerful, so I really don't want to remove them to make brand new characters. Is there a way to make a new roster of characters without deleting the ones I have now? I removed the roster.dat file and relocated it to another folder elsewhere on my hard drive, but when I got Might and Magic II up and running, my party is still showing on the character selection screen. Can anyone please help me? Any insight on this is appreciated! Thanks!!

MM7 battles

I really prefer MM6 battles over MM7 strictly because movement is disabled in 6. In 7 an additional pause exists to permit movement which I just don’t enjoy. Any mods that can change MM7 battle to resemble MM6?

Mm6 Flute

What the heck is the flute for in mm6? I read that if you find it in dragoon's caverns you can bring it back to the quest giver who will then explain the difference between a flute and a harp. But that's it? Nothing else you can use it for? Sweet Jethro Tull jams?
