Every time I play, I always die right away. In short, I * -> stink at the game and would really appreciate it if someone out * -> there could give me a few pointers. Thank you all for your time... .*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* Alot of people think that these games (L.O.R.D & Usurper) are what I call "Hit Enter Repeatedly" games.....meaning you could just start the game and hit enter to fight and basically get through the whole game by hitting enter. It involves much more than that. One of the keys is to have plenty of healing potions, and to ALWAYS be at your top strength before you go into battle. Also, one of the most important things to know is who not to fight (because they'll kill you)..... /////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////// Are you getting killed by players or monsters? Anyway, first, spend about half of your starting money on a good weapon (NEVER get 2 weapons, it costs more money and actually decreses your damage.) Then buy some cheap armor items until your almost out of money, then go in the dungeon, fight until you can get a level raise. Get the raise. With the money from the dungeons and level raise, spend 1/2 on a weapon and the other 1/2 on armor upgrades. This works for me, but not for everyone, just play the game some more, try out what I told you, if it doesn't work, try something else. ********************************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. Subj : USURPER Help ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ I am running usurp 13b...

I always try to murder my opponents before I challenge them to death match. What I didn't know was that whenever I tried to murder someone my evil deeds went higher, and that's the reason I was being zapped. Subj : Usurper error (not LORD error) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ I haven't been able to get a version of usurper running properly since .07. This latest version is not running at all, it keeps bombing out when a player get into the door, here is the error.log, can anyone tell me what is wrong, I'd appreciate it. Error Log Generated by Usurper 0.13b Date : 8/21/1995 Run-time error occurred Exitcode = 3 DOS ERROR :Path not found Address of error: Segment: 23AD Offset: 0149 Never having seen Usurper but knowing it was written using JPDoor, this is a turbo pascal runtime error indicating just as it says "path not found". This means that either you're missing a directory path or that one is setup incorrectly in the game's configuration. Verify all your paths are set right and if they are, make sure they have a trailing backslash (just a guess).

(A) what "Enter as a God" is for and how u do it; and I don't know what it is.. except that you have to be ranked first in the overall character rating to do it.. (B) what is the difference in the 3 doors at the end of the game? Room at the inn is safest, esp. with ten Pet Dragons.. Dormitory is free, but not as protective.. Beggers wall might get you some money, but you can be killed, and not be able tp put up a fight..

I find 30 to be the best number.. I think we start out with 28 forest fights, though I can't remember off hand. I'm working on getting my Magic User skills up. I've got 22 in Death Knight, 26 in Thief and 6 or 7 in Magic User. Yesterday I brought 23 charm, got one from Seth when I asked him to sing and got 6 in the forest. I'm now level 9. þ
