I guess that some games are obscure for a reason. ![Smile :) :)](/forums/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Sounds good. Do you know if you have to finish MC 1 to transfer characters? I'll probably finish it later some time anyway, though.

I warned you about the Goblins in my play example. Bit of a surprise eh? Like Orcs in the Gothic games. Whereabouts did you meet these Goblins? Near Shellernoon by any chance?
I also told you that if finishing the Magic Candle was too hard for you, this will knock you on your arse. Did you listen? Nooooo...
Ome of my pet peeves are games that "cheat", ie different rules for monsters than your own characters. In Magic Candle monster can move diagonally, while my own can't. In KOL monsters can choose freely between missiles and melee attacks, while my own guys need to use a round to switch weapons.
Funny how half the time my low level characers meet monsters that make them freeze in terror in the area. No matter how my my guys' Balance stat is they are frozen in terror like 90% of the time. But even if they are frozen in terror, they still use the same amount of stamina as if they had followed their orders.
Heh, just encountered some Skeletons that actually die from exhaustion when walking around in heavy armour in their cave.
Did that happen in the C64 version?
This game is really something. I don't know if it's because I'm using the save state version of DosBox or not, but when reloading I always trigger the same random encounters and meet the same enemies at The Arena.
As I've said before this game seems to go out of its way to annoy and punish the player, so I thought I'd see what happened if my character at The Arena forgot to wear the Courage Cloak. Wearing it she met a Hobgoblin. When she forgot to don it, she of course met a Cyclops. And reloading again and donning the Courage Cloak our little friend the Hobgoblin was back,
Just fucking amazing...
I do recall why i dropped this game is because there's no trainer for advanced weapon skills like Greatsword etc.
