Mega Lo Mania

Land is mostly of sand, grass or ice.

You start with 100 men and you can use whatever quantity you find necessary on each island.

The rest men left will go to another level with another new 100.

In the second half of the game you can freeze men to save them for the Mother of All Battles.

Once you select your island and place for your HQ, you must do some research for better weapons and defences.

On the roof of your buildings you can put protectors like archers, gunmen, boiling oil men, and later on even laser turrets.

If you send a team of unarmed men into an unoccupied square, they will build an additional base there, with larger armies completing this more quickly.

Later on higher levels, you'll also build mines and factories, as you'll need to dig a certain material for higher level weapons, depending on whether the area you're on is rich with a certain material or not.

With each next level, you'll start from a higher technology level and be able to progress to one higher level up than at the previous level.

If there is more than just one enemy, you can make an alliance until you crush the other one - three of you can form an alliance against fourth enemy.

For what its worth, a certain numeric level of defence is always stronger from the same level of attacker, and men that are not armed (conscripts) can only kill enemy soldiers, not destroy or attack enemy fort.

The main thing as always in strategy games is to be the sole survivor and lead your men to victory, experimenting on vicious technologies, equipping your men, making perfect soldiers out of them, produce shields, weapons, planes... to dominate the world and crush your opponents

Mega Lo Mania has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Mega Lo Mania, loose is €32.90 and CIB is €19.09 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Mega Lo Mania is currently worth €32.90 loose, versus €51.25 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
