    I know some of the folks here think that Vladimir (the Maestro) went overboard with his scantily-clad ladies, but I must disagree. I haven't seen anything in his mod more risque than images that already exist in the MM series. Amongst many examples in the original games are Queen Catherine in the cut scenes in MM7, and the static scene of the Lady with Wolves in MM8.

    The ladies are only a minor part of Vladimir's mod, however. He's primarily a graphic designer, so he merged his graphic overlay with BDJ's mod to create a very fresh version of MM7: all new paper dolls (with races like drows and drakes, though the stats are the same as the old races, he just substituted drakes for dwarves, etc.), lots of very cool-looking new equipment, the introduction of thrown weapons, beautiful new static scenes when you're loading saved games, new classes (which are the old classes reworked with different skill sets),
    and monsters tweaked to make them much tougher (including the ability to "summon" more help).

    The mod has some problems (mainly concerning graphics with the paper dolls that weren't quite finished), but overall I think it's a fantastic contribution to the MM universe, and I plan to replay it many times.
