#CRPG ADDICT LEGEND OF FAERGHAIL MANUAL#

I died a lot - or at least some characters like my mages so it took some time before we where ready to progress. It was soon forgotten since I started to grind up to level 2 as soon as possible. I moved around within 20 hexes of the starting city. When we left the starting town I was given an amulet but nothing was said about its intention or power. I don´t know yet if you could starve but you could surely not be able to rest and heal. If you run out of rations you will starve and the morale will degrade which affects your combat effectiveness. Rations is used when you are resting your party or when the blacksmith is repairing equipment. Depending on creature you could get equipment (only humanoids), rations (animals mostly), gold (thieves, bandits and the like) or a combination of all.

The first few hours was spent on gaining experience, gold, equipment and rations from the foes. You will soon discover that gold is a precious commodity that you must try to gather as much as possible of to be able to afford your training into higher levels or learn new spells and languages. There are hundreds of weapons, armours and miscellaneous items scattered around and most of them could be bought in the starting city. My own goal would be to run around in the wilderness to get acquainted with the land and to build up my characters to at least level 2 before making longer trips. Every character starts with some initial equipment and gold but you will very quickly want to get better armour and weapons. We´ll see how it develops further on in the game. But remember, in order to progress to more dangerous areas of the game you have too be of sufficient level even though I imagine you could run from most fights. This makes you pick your fights since they span from easy rats and ants to Grizzlys or Ogres which are very hard - if not impossible - to defeat at this stage. What differs random encounters in this game from others in this genre is that you could always - yes ALWAYS - run from combat. Since I have filled all my six slots I will not have more rooms for any recruitment. They are not always hostile and if you negotiate with them you will even be able to trade items or recruit people. You don´t need to take many steps before you notice the random encounters. I don´t remember anything from my old party so I had to start from scratch here. The hard part is to find out the best composition for the party. It is quite easy to re-roll your stats with just a few keystrokes. It took one or two hours before I was satisfied with my party. One of my most joyful tasks in an RPG is to create the party. From here you are on your own and start up in the first inn you have come to in order to recruit your followers.

Time is running short for the count could not hold on for much longer.Ī pretty average story but with two distinct goals. And he adds that if you could find out why the elves are being so strangely aggressive and find a way to stop that, it would be of great help. He says his blacksmith will provide your companions with equipment and suggests you start to look out for your companions and get away as soon as possible. The next morning you turn up at the palace and the count asks you for help. Go to the palace and mention my name and the King will surely help you out to look for the companions you need. He continues saying that you of course will have to recruit a few companions. Since you are a poor farmer you listen in. Riches and fame will come to the ones who succeeds in that. He is looking for men to carry out a mission to the neighbouring land of Cyldane to call for supporting troops. When the Inn is about to close and most guests are about to go home, a wanderer introducing himself as Sarian tells you that the king of Thyn is aware that the war is not going well and needs help. But most of the time prominent guests speaks of strange creatures that have been seen in the lands, far stronger and more dangerous than the orcs. You start in an inn and during the evening you overhear the guests complaining about the war with the elves that are draining the land Thyn of soldiers. The first pages contains the story of the game.
