Custom dungeon 'The Tomb of King Hissssa' review by rain`

Reviewer : rain` Gameplay : 3. A bit repetative after awhile, not much thinking involved, just repetative fighting (especially with dragons). Although the last level (not going to spoil the surprise) was a lot of fun, thank god I had all those eye of times or I never would have made it. Also, see t...

Theres also poison bolt and poison cloud for all your basic needs. Personally I use poison bolt alot considering it is more mana efficient than fireball. Also, poison cloud is useful if you have an enemy cornered or want to wipe out tons of little annoying critters (eg bathroom). Poison cloud is als...

For optional doors: No. There are alot of emerald keys, and I dont think you need to use *any* of them to get anywhere you couldn't get w/o them (anotherwords they are all shortcuts afaik). Also note that some keys you receive early in the...

Yeah, even with a unprotected conflux III map file, it'd take months of studying to 'unlock'. Im content with the maps released w/ conflux III (using passwords) though, they helped enough to find the little secrets that help so much. Also helps to mark down the locations of all the shurikens/monk st...

Isn't there an infinite loop in conflux III? Infinite tower of loops? :P I think Zyx has become hypocritical here, sure he wants to stop DSA's from being infinit, but forces us to climb an infinite tower. Maybe its time to take a toe, wheres my knife?

I experienced this problem too once after ressurecting a character.

I sent a saved game to both Paul Stevens and Zyx. I think they are aware of the problem, but any more cases would probably only help.

It is not an official competition (yet), I know zyx is still tweaking conflux III according to certain bugs/features/quirks we find.
