HINTS GALORE

********************************USURPER fans **************************

	Increase MENTAL STABILITY????  It increases slowly as you go up higher 
levels.  Besides try not to use steroids as they bring it down.  

	Carrying "CURSED" items and can't get rid of them????  In v0.06 you 
can drop them but if you are playing v.0.07x then you need to go to the 
healers and ask for a cursed items removal.  This will cost you 1000 x your 
current level in gold.  

	Carrying items you don't want to be????  In v0.07x hit  s  for status 
then  i  for inventory then  s  again for stop using, then you pick the # of 
the item you don't want to use.  

	Looking for the best armor and protection???  Rummor has it that the 
White helmet and the Ivory shield are better in Armor ratings.  Also try and
grab 2 Iron necklaces as these will increase your AC.  Dwarven Arnor is 
better than the Full Breast Plate.

***************************TRADE_WARS diehards!!!!*********************
 
	How do I get the computer upgrade?  Rumor has it that you need to ask 
the Grimy Trader a particular question and if you know what to ask then you 
can get a computer upgrade that will improve the combat odds of your ship.  
Unfortunately such an upgrade does not and never did exist.

	Want a good place to hide? One player writes that they keep a sector 
filled with destroyed planet debris and mines.  Cloaked there each night no 
one seems willing to risk going into that sector and there is only occasional 
damage to oneself.

	TW help programs recommended by users.  Different people want (and 
need) different things.  There is TLXTW scripts for Telix along with TWAssist.  
TWHelp and TWTerm are also popular.  Jim Bianchi is the author of Iago's War 
Manual, a help file for TW2002 v1.03d.  He can be reached at 707-539-1279.  
He also carries Slice's War Manual, a help file for TW2002 v2.0b5 by Harold 
Weiss.  

	FEDS! How do you kill them?  You can't.  They are hard coded into the 
game.  Other things you can't do in Trade Wars:  Find an alien derelict; get 
a computer upgrade; kill the feds; find the secret passage in Vulcan Thunder; 
wait around for an Atomic Detonator to "accidentally" go off; wait around for 
a cloaking device to "go bad" in v1.03x (or 2.x if the sysop has the failure 
set to ZERO) or harm another player with a photon (other than robbing him of 
his turns for the day if he hasn't taken them).

	Alternate Universe section of game.  It's a one way trip.  There the 
Stardock offers a large new variety of fighters that could each be outfitted 
with shields and several kinds of weapons or recon systems.  Drones are 
available that will track down an opponent and attack when he logs on.  Desert 
and Volcanic planets produce Spice (an addictive and expensive drug).  Dealing 
Spice can lead to fabulous riches or long jail time and confiscation of 
property.  Of course a randomly appearing wormhole could put you in an 
unexpected sector.

*******************************Dr. Dread********************************
	
	Wondering how to activate KEY QUEST?  First you must attempt to open
a locked door thus gaining permission to begin the quest.  You may be given a        
hint such as:  "you may find this key in the Wild Cat Valley while the Droids
are roaming".  This means that you've battles left for the day.  Look at the 
design of the terrain, notice the Zone with a picture of a cat?  Roam this
zone and you will find a chamber where you will have to pass obstacles to get
to the key.  

	Starting out>>>Hang out in Zones 1-3 saving up your geckles up for 
waves(ammo) and life.  

	Mission Hints!!  In several missions you must first find scuba gear
first before you can swim through the water to the door on the other side.  
To not get "zapped" by a blinking object simply "walk" into it when it is 
beside you and "on", then the next move when you are on top of it, it will be
"off".  If the blinking object is "moving" you can walk into the spot where
it currently is because on the next move it will move off of that spot and 
you will be safe.  If you find the secret code letters in order you will gain
bonus experience.  The secert code letters are spelled out on the botton 
right of the screen as you find them.  Use the "5" key on the numeric pad to 
stand still and "watch" the blinks to determine the pattern.

*************************Attention LORD gamers**************************

	Always give the lady in the forest a Gem as she will not only heal
you but she will give you an extra Hit point.       

	More children will gain you one extra forest fight.  

	Make sure you spell JENNIE with an ie and not a y while in the forest
and then answer BABE for a free forest fight.  

	How to marry>>>You must have 100+ Charm and there will be an option 
in the main menu.

	Undeveloped land?  Portion of the game left so third party developers
can derive their own sections of the game.  

	Anyone know what the fairies are for (LORD 3.25B)?  They save your 
life.  Catch one and the next time that a Eminie  brings you down to - hit 
points the fairy will come out and bring you back to life.
