Re: Trying An Old One

I only did a Tiggy solo after I'd beat the game a few times and wanted a bit more of a challenge. It wasn't easy! I also did a Stamm solo win as well.

I just love fireballs.

Re: Trying An Old One

Tiggy is definitely male, it's a bug in the game that says they're female ;-)

Re: Do the spell runes names have any meaning?

Yeah, but I mean like, BRO for example, it doesn't suggest what BRO might stand for, or if it even stands for anything. Since VEN is obviously VENom and VI is VItality, I wondered if the others had *some* connection to what they represented, or if it was just a mixture of pure randomness.

Although it doesn't explain what all the actual names are, just what the symbols mean.

Do the spell runes names have any meaning?

Pondering if there are other abbreviations or similar.

I figure this:

LO being the LOwest power
VI being VItality
DES being the DESert
VEN being VENom
RA being the sun god

But how about the others?

BRO could be BROther? It looks like co-operation

Where can I get the TTF (font) for the spells?

I remember many MANY MAAAAAAAANY years ago finding a TTF (font) for the runes.

I've looked on dmweb but I couldn't find it, and google was no help either.

Any ideas?

Re: New Player Question

Is there special code that stops lord chaos from taking damage? Because hitting him yields a number as if you hurt it, whereas hitting a ghost with a regular weapon does nothing. I wondered if he had 9 billion hp and could actually be killed if you played the game for long enough! Maybe he even has ...

I'm replaying this as a grimrock mod, and there's a coin slot before the shortcut sign, which my memory tells me it gives me a mostly useless chest. In this version I put a coin in and a teleporter field appeared but nothing happens when I step into it. Could be a bug with the grimrock port, or I'm ...

Fair enough, yeah most of my stuff is based on the Amiga version which I played first: Gigglers definitely stole from both hands, and there were a few other differences.

Just did another playthrough

Been a while, so I decided to replay it again from scratch. I used Chani, Halk, Stamm and Gando. Took a few hours. I only obtained 2 boots of speed :( Everyone was pretty much equal in magic skills thanks to excessive war crying. I got lost in the rat part for AGES because I forgot I stepped through...

I'm pretty sure the youtube speedrun of DM involves them landing on the dragon through a pit to kill it instantly.

Hmm just checked, perhaps it was a CSB dragon.

I didn't know about war cry either so I ended up having to get a wand or similar and levelling up that way. Staples: Stamm, Wuuf, Zed...
