Same with the Lord's diary, I assumed things will be revealed later on, but it seems the game is taking me to another direction.
If it can help, if you found the bell tower it will spawn bands of bats and rats that get tired of the sound disturbing them, it is a very good way to get enemies to level upTangerine wrote: ↑ April 9th, 2025, 20:08I'm still on the snake under the altar. My party feels very weak.
Another thing I found, though I use it to wait away poison and heal intermittently as necessary as I do not wish to waste items, is that you can stand against a wall and continually click to go forward (prompting the *Ouch* dialogue). This counts as time passing and I had enemies spawn on me like this a few time. Might be more of use than roaming far from your objective and ending up too far away or even lost while trying to trigger enemies to spawn. ): I managed to shatter the diamond wall prison of that floating head (which I assume to be a genie though the hat makes me think of a mage of some kind, have yet to speak to it as I just momentarily closed to game to write this while my mind is fresh from what happened) but the issue I found is that I mapped out four corners of what I assume is the "genie"'s room (as they all lead to different facets of that same distant wall with the skeleton in one of the nooks), and cracked them all with the mining chisel, but after hitting the last wall that I was left with nothing happened. I traced back to a previous wall that I thought I was missing (as it was very close to another wall that I also mapped together in my map, making me assume I got them mixed up and forgot one of the two) but the wall was already fractured (as also noted by my mark on the map). Wanting to make extra sure though the dialogue for the fracture did pop up, I tried hitting that wall again and the whole thing shattered as if it was missing a piece or something of the sort. Is it a bug in some way or a feature/part of some ritual I was not privy to? 
None. I let the game show me what it has available and play from there, picking the class+race combinations I want from what is available and making one character from the ground up that I will use as my "main". I am aware of the rolls and stats etc but, even with Baldur's Gate's stat rolling etc, I give roleplay more weight and actually prefer it when a character is penalized in some way. I have come to like this party quite a lot
I myself get lag when in battle the more enemies are present. This disappears when I was fighting in total darkness.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ May 13th, 2025, 19:07I seem to get infrequent freezing, going to look into setting up dosbox natively I guess.
Was admiring the screenshot and realized I know the names you chose XD Best of luck in your run rusty!
My maps may not be the best, but if you might want me to share them with you let me know rusty!rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ May 30th, 2025, 03:28Using the automapper 'mod' and that's almost certainly what's causing it, either going to have to map it by hand(never was a fan of this) or port the mod to a modern dosbox
Grid Cartographer works really well from my experience. You can download completed maps or just setup a generic mapping process with it. I also noticed that it now has built-in emulator support so you can play various versions. I was messing with the Sega Might and Magic II version the other day and it was working well.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ May 30th, 2025, 03:28Using the automapper 'mod' and that's almost certainly what's causing it, either going to have to map it by hand(never was a fan of this) or port the mod to a modern dosbox

Perhaps it is in the wrong spot or maybe that was added when the first person achieved it.Tangerine wrote: ↑ June 7th, 2025, 04:16Hexx is last in the Classic list, when it should be earlier.J1M wrote: ↑ June 7th, 2025, 04:13Classic chronological, Junior chronological, sequels injected so franchises appear together.

I also believe it is open source so you have complete control to use it with anything with some tweaking.
This was just a quick throw up (I didn't make a party and start it).
You can use completed (all room specifics are already marked) or clean maps where you have to add your discoveries as you play. You can also place a fog layer over the maps so it only explores where you have been as well or just use it as a basic auto-maper for yout path where you add the details as you play (doors, walls, secrets, etc...)
That is one thing I never played with enough to figure it out. I know it is possible because some of the maps you can DL from GC site on some games come blacked out and reveal as you play. I have looked for settings in the program, but couldn't find anything specific (though I admit I wasn't diligent about it). It may be something really silly like a layer toggle somewhere, or it could be a script or flag within the map file. Could also be a console command for it, but I am not sure.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ July 2nd, 2025, 09:42need to look into how to set this up with the fogXenich wrote: ↑ May 31st, 2025, 14:59Grid Cartographer works really well from my experience.

It has to be somewhere in the documentation though...

Hmm, I'll have to try it.ADDED: Fog-of-War (default shortcut: F) tile effect. Cover areas of the map with an impenetrable fog. Select fog style in the Setup > Theme menu.
