Re: Do you ever map by hand?

My sense of orientation is almost useless. I get lost in the Hall of Champions... so, yeah, mapping is pretty much essential for me. Working with an existing map (by someone else) is cheating, esp. so if that map is directly pulled from the game (like the "perfect" DM maps showing creature...

Re: CSB with two champions, on first run -- advisable?

On a related matter: does anybody here have Amiga disk images of CSB that are cleanly cracked? All the ones I've tried so far don't seem to be 100%. Currently I'm using the Betrayal crack but after a while it keeps asking me to insert the game disk. I can dismiss that requester with no apparent side...

Re: CSB with two champions, on first run -- advisable?

@Trantor: yes, indeed I had Mophus as my avatar -- you have a very good memory. And LOL @Jan ;-). BTW I'm in CSB now with my 4-champion party. It's going quite well so far, the magic map from the Amiga version really helps. It's still very difficult to piece an accurate map together, although not im...

I think it was "sigi", but I don't remember which email I used to register, making it difficult to request a new password.

Re: CSB with two champions, on first run -- advisable?

Thank you all for the help so far, also for welcoming me, which would not have been necessary since I've been here before but lost my old password due to forum conversion ;-).

I might try with a two-champion party, maybe report back about my experience here later.

Re: DSB source release and sound replacement

Any chance that the source code will be made available? I'm not sure about any sort of fancy RCS, and I'm also not sure if it'd be much use it'd be considering I'm not sure if DSB will even build for people other than me. Beyond simple code ugliness, I've made no effort to ensure that it will compi...

Re: CSB with two champions, on first run -- advisable?

Thanks for your input. Actually I'm quite aware that CSB is fiendish ;-). I've seen others play it a long time ago, I know it's non-linear and full of fake walls and teleports into where-the-frack-am-I-now etc. As I've mentioned I've wandered around a bit already and managed fine with my party. Howe...

DSB source release and sound replacement

Hi, (This mainly goes to Amber/Sophia but I didn't want to PM in case others are interested, too.) I've just tried DSB and it looks awesome; good on you Amber for that nice effort! So true to the original with improvements in just the right areas (as far as I can tell). I've got a couple of question...

Re: DM & CSB in DSB fix thread

Test your strength: even with Stamm, couldn't throw any object far enough. Finally did with 80 strength. I don't think this is a bug. The formula for Ku potions is known to the party by this point, so I think part of the point of this puzzle is to make the party use them. One can also just use the ...

CSB with two champions, on first run -- advisable?

Hi, I've completed DM with the same party selection as 15 years ago (Hissssa, Daroou, Gothmog, Elija), and I've now started CSB with that party imported from DM. They kick some butt because I've trained them a bit in DM. To be exact, the front row is Lo-Master Fighter/Mage, the back row is Lo-Master...
