First of all wives aren't random, that's pretty much the only active choice you have (apart from your starting class).

Also this "randomisation" is set in stone at the beginning of the game because of one thing, and one thing only: save-load. It would be way way way way too convenient if every single randomised option could be exploited by saving just before and loading ad nauseum until you get the desired result. THAT is not randomisation.

The link for p1-p22 does not work, help ?
Many Thanks !

i'm 21lvl warrior and my Royal Snakes have 55 attack and 12-16 dmg, 7 initiative, 4 speed. I'm hitting Land of the Dead and with Silver Rapier, Sword of Light and Holy Anger form Inqs my Royal Snakes tear apart every beast on my way:] I would never change it to Mirabella wife and Sea Dogs (but I'm not so arogant to claim that my idea is better, it's just perfect for me;) )

btw any ideas to increase morale of Royal Snakes?

could anyone please tell me if the "painskull" and the "Demonic Mask" is of any use ? I would like to know what it does after I get it down to 0%.
Also, I see the name silver rapier and a few others mentioned more than one time, are those some sort of fixed artifacts/xx ? Reason why I am sking is that I am having a hard time in the Book of death land.

don't know about Demonic Mask but Painskull is pain in the ass for 50 battles after which it turns into Dead Skull(?) which give +5atk +5 int ;) Silver Rapier is weapon you can obtain by finding recipe (don't know if it's random), you can give it to guy in Magic Guild and he can make Silver Rapier for you but the cost is massive - 5 Mind Runes!! 2 Magic Crystals and some money.

You can always open eng_items.lng (or items.txt if you prefer code, like me) and check what each item does.

How exactly do you control the forms of some wives? If in fact you can?

For the zombie wife you can freely switch from/to undead/human form simply saying your wife the formula you got doing the zombie miller's quest. To talk to your wife simply click on her portrait in hero screen.

For the frog wife it tournes into a frog after a certain amount of battles (if i'm not wrong after 13 battles the first time, and then once each 21 battles) and each time you can decide to keep her as a frog or to change her back to a lady by kissing her (talk with her and you can chose to kiss her).

I know this two only, maybe there are more that can change their form, dunno ^_^

Some files has been deleted from hosting. So I merged all parts in one file with minor corrections and re-upload it here.
