So even equipping two nunchakas does sound better than what my monk (level 8, hands&feet 100) is doing right now, which is hit for ~3 damage. Is the nunchaka bugged? Or can you only hit critically with hands&feet (I hope not)?

Anyway, he only criticals like every 40th monster, so I'm very underwhelmed. Right now I could have another Fighter or Lord instead, who dual wields Vulcan Hammer and some other blunt weapon, and hits for at least 3-16 damage, plus 2x knockout and wears chain or plate mail. Maybe the monk is great late game, I'll have to see that, but right now he's meh.

Ouch. One of the first things I did was copying my save game.

:smile2:
Vulcan Hammer costs 18 K GP, if i am not wrong.
Anyway i get rid both Nunchaka and shurikens.

.. I collected 4 RS, then merged by pairs; the received 2 products merged again to receive at last Rubber Band.

All men 9 lvl. 148 K EXP. Have to be very careful because at 152 K EXP i will transfer my Female Fighter BRAVE TO VALKIRYE.

You can't switch a male character to Valkyrie. You have to do it with your fighter. You don't even have to wait for level up, if you have the stats you can even switch immediately (but waiting for the fighter level up will grant you extra skillpoints and a few HP), if you already have good enough stats there's of course no reason to reload at level up for other stat raises, just level up and switch class immediately afterwards.

If my memory serves me well this creature Valkyrie has origin from old German mythology? Pls excuse me we do not learn German history. But i know much about this proud, brave and hard-working nation.
Only Part. Perfect is terrible.. Ha ha ha
The Russian lang has 6 cases!!

Dear Sacred, may i ask You very politely some Fragen, bitte?
- Do You use Dos-Box to play the game? Me - yes.
- Do You use mouse or mouse und KB or KB only? Me - M+KB.
- Do You play -Easy, Normal or Expert mode? Me- Expert.
The last but not least Q:
- You are using W 7 OS? Me-yes, but i have 2 PC with numerous real XP, virtual XP and even ME.
You may not answer this Q if You feel this Q is impolite. Merci.
Good luck in the mines!

First: Valkyries belong to mythology/theology, and NOT into history.

Second: yes, they were/are in the german myths (some followers this religion still has).
BUT the "germans" you refer to are ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE then the modern day citizen's of Germany. The connection is purely artificial from the times when racism (as an ideology to prove ancient heritage to land of a country) was popular and not disproven.

Third: they were Odin's personal budyguards made of women, whose prime job was to collect the fallen heroes' soul and bring them to the Valhalla where they'll feast and prepare to the Rangarök.

IIRC they are Scandinavian actually, from sources like the Edda. No comparable evidence of the faith of southern Germanic people has survived. Don't get confused by shit like Wagner, he just hacked up Scandinavian myths and sold them as German.

Dosbox, yes.

Mouse and keyboard, yes. Mouse only would probably drive you :wacko:

Normal difficulty. I guessed you're on Expert, considering the two Toll Trolls ;)

My old Vista PC broke and right now I'm on a borrowed Eee PC with XP, lol. My next machine will probably have Win 8.

@twillight
Hi, baraton! I am glad You are so active and healthy. Of course i abs. agree with Your statements about Valkirye subject.

@Sacred
No, do not do it! Many specialists say that W 8 is simply shit. Pls, ask well respected Caro Capo.
May i politely recommend You 7 with reserve variant XP Pro.
little off:
Microsoft do good OS in einer Version. Look:
W 95 good. W 98 bad. XP good. Vista bad. 7 good. 8 bad. Wait for 9.:hihihi:

...I did my Valkirye from Scandinavian myths.
Hurray!!
Prove, brave, prove!
OK.

I want to back to Castle after finishing all job in mines. Xorphitus and other.But lift does not allow me to go down. I have no idea how to climb down.
Any advice is welcome!

:mhh:

Sacred_Path 25-02-2013 07:33 PM

well fuck. I think I've run into a bug.

The chest where the Key of A-Miner is supposed to be is empty, so I must have been there before. I don't have the key in my inventory though. I thought they couldn't be dropped? But maybe chose the option "take: none"? Is that possible?

Anyways I'll see if I can give myself the key by using Cosmic Forge. :(

Use the SEARCH command and face the proper direction. You can go back to the castle any time.

:lame::no:
Rats!!
I face the button on the wall, use Search, the lift appears, but i have not time (even i in panic press button of my KB to enter the lift) and it closes.!!!

And why i have to back to Castle? In Doom 2 i go only forward, no back!

Do i understand You have no keys, dear Sacred? Unmöglich!

Is it a good idea to use oil to repair the device on the wall? Mine 4?

Can't believe.

Well two days not here and there's already 3 new pages in this thread :doh::lol:
Well I don't mind beer if in company, but I don't usually drink it. Red wine, that I prefer more.

Don't know about Wizardry 6, but in Wizardry 7, if a character dies / turns to stone and gets revived / resurrected, his age raises 1 year and his candle becomes shorter. Not sure what are the consequences if the candle expires, maybe you can't resurrect him anymore, or maybe stats decrease (I think that's more the case).

Valkyrie comes originally from Norway / Island, this area of the world, speak - vikings. From them it was adopted by east/middle-germans like Goths, Vandals etc.

About those trolls resisting spells - it depends on the level-to-level relation. If you're same or higher level than the monster, his chances to resist a spell decrease, while you can't mostly hit a mouse which is level 12 even with Fireball, if your spellcaster is level 2 (if he could cast Fireball at that level).
Also higher-level spells like Lifesteal (is that spell already in W6?) or Poison Cloud tend to be harder to resist than simple spells like Energy Blast. And, of course, the resistances of enemies also play their role.

Thx for the info about age. I'm going to play Wiz7 with this party so I wouldn't want them to be old farts from the start.

There was no bug, simply wrong information on the maps site I'm using (the Key of A-Minor was in a different place). But I reverted to an earlier save and now I have to hunt for rubber strands again. I'll be glad to get out of these mines :palm:
