Victory - The End.

The atari version is older than most version and it is in desperate need of patching. I believe they have a patch they just haven't made it public yet. I suspect they dislike that it removes drm.

In any case, yeah, when you win that is typically the end I mean you can always do what you didn't manage on the second playtrough if necessary.

To those who have finished just a few questions, well actually just one, Where abouts in the game is the halfway mark ?

I am about to go thru the second set of mines on my way to deliver the peace treaty to the Dwarves.

Thanks

I jsut finished it 1 time, it doesnt make me an expert but i would say that the half is when you finish or by the end of the Dwarven land. Somewhere after the peace maybe.

On Normal i had 30 days passed in the game when i finished.
On Impossible i didnt completed the Islands yet, I got the map from james, got it diplomatic way and many other thinks also done diplomatic as sometimes its just tooooo hard. But as i was saying being between islands and dwarves im at day 16 or 17 .... every fight is a pain. I know that i will be proud of myself finishing the game on impossible but that difficulty is a real pain , im even loosing interest in the game.

Remember the game is like all to have fun, don't make it so hard on yourself that you stop having fun.

Its good to have personal goals but not at the expense of having fun and enjoying the game.

While the end was a bit ant-climatic, the journey was a blast.

Okay, so I've finally managed to beat the game on my 1st attempt & on the impossible diff. - quite a task if You ask me

Of course it was far from optimal (bad choices, few mistakes etc.) but I'm pleased nontheless

Here are screens of my records:




It took me over 70 hours of play O.O wow!



It says 2 failed quests -> I wonder which ones? The game doesn't inform You whether You've failed the particular quest so it's confusing -> this should be changed so it'll show at least those failed quests (and maybe completed vs. total number of quests)

btw, despite impossible diff. score is really low O.O it seems the only factor game promotes is speedy playing, rushing through game...which is somewhat...impossible on impossible diff.
why other factors aren't taken into account when estimating the final score? (hero lvl + quests gives only 2% modifier! wtf?!)

btw#2, it seems on impossible it's insanely hard to get to 31 lvl (max) as I've pretty much killed everything (and >75% were "slightly stronger" and up, from murock all were "impossible") and even get +10 combat exp. skill and yet I've only gained lvl 30

Assuming you have already finished the human land (can't remember the name) and Isles of Freedom thoroughly and only just begin clearing lower Haadar, I would say you're about 20% to 25% into the game

Edit: this is factoring in the difficulties of later fights. Main quest-wise, finalising the peace treaty is at about 40%
