Across a barren wasteland, a sleeping evil crawls from the  depths
of the earth.

At first content to slowly build their strength within a small  region,
the Necromancers will soon reveal their awesome  power as they  move to
subjugate the entire land for their evil purposes. Wielding dark magic,
hey  have  perfected  the art of raising the dead and now command these
terrible  minions to obey  their  slightest whim. Amassing an army is a
trivial  task for  those that  can summon the black legions of departed
souls.

You must embark  upon  a  journey to improve strength and skill, enlist
powerful allies,  and  recover  a  lost  talisman of  ancient magic  to
survive the coming  onslaught. Ultimately you must seek out the lair of
the Necromancers and destroy them and their undead  puppets before they
can carry out their terrifying plans.

New features include:

-43 non-linear, branching missions:  Rage of Mages 2  personalizes  the
game  playing  experience  by  allowing  players to experience greater
variety on their quest
-New  story  set  in  an  original  realm:  Players lead their party of
adventurers through Arabian-style  desert  cities and  arboreal  Druid
villages. Each location delivers new challenges and new foes.
-Increased replay value: Total ly new multiplayer arenas support  up to
16 players.
-New multiplayer map editor:  A  full-featured  multiplayer map  editor
allows players to easily create their  own  worlds and distribute them
to other gamers.
-Over 400 weapons, items, spells, objects and buildings to help
adventurers in their travels.
-80 unique foes  to  conquer,  including  hideous  skeletons,  zombies,
Druids, shamans,  and  the  lethal  race  of  Necromancers.  Each  foe
features deadly  new combat  abilities.
-New ally system: Players can now crush the competition by allying with
Orcs and Trolls, as well  as with other people.

Razor  relased   a   version of Rage of  Mages  2  back in   May,  but
unfortunately it seems  it was a beta. This is the  FINAL version, the
one you'll find in stores. Monolith just recently announced  the  game
had  recently gone gold, and some  differences  could be found between
this release, and Razor's release back in early May:

CLS - MAIN     RES     6,619,785  04-28-99  6:07p MAIN.RES
RZR - MAIN     RES     6,619,779  05-09-99 10:16p main.res

CLS - ROM2     EXE     2,157,568  04-29-99  2:02p ROM2.EXE
RZR - ROM2     EXE     2,157,056  05-09-99 10:16p rom2.exe

All the dates in Razor's release of  ROM2  were mysteriously "touched"
to be the exact same date, 05/09/99.

Even inside the readme.txt is some difference:

RZR-

Rage of Mages 2: Necromancer

README.TXT Version: April 22, 1999

CLS-

Rage of Mages 2: Necromancer

README.TXT Version: May 28, 1999

So the rumors have come true. RZR's  was a beta, and  CLS gives  you the
final version.  Enjoy another fine  release  from your favorite PC games
