Congratulations! I wouldn't call artificial legs cheating, just making the game very damn easy and less challenging


Oh, and me. But one day, I'll join the club too - with a head of Elpuri (and knowing my luck, I'll die killed by a hedgehog on a way up or vomit on Petrus instead of giving him the head)

Today, as I was playing IVANX, I drank from a fountain and noticed something new - I got hiccups ("Your diaphragm is spasming vehemently"). Apparently, it was added either in CVS, or LIVAN, or IVANX (hard to tell!). Anyone of you guys encountered this before?



Oh, and by the way, what does Willpower (Wil) stat (apparently also added in CVS) do? Take over some role earlier associated with Int/Wis?

Yep. I've noticed this for Agility - I usually run around the world map in the beginning to get an ability boost before descending the level, and some characters take much longer time to train than others.

I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is no (at least not when already polymorphed). I got lycanthropy from the fountain, drank the antidote and got a message "Aaah... you feel much better."

But then, around the wolf level, I changed into a werewolf, so I must have either caught it again or it never gone away. I drank the antidote again when in werewolf form, and there was no effect.

(although the potion was split into two cans, so that may have something to do with it)

Today was probably my most frustrating and horrible death to date: Transformed into a werewolf while flying over the sea with a belt of levitation.

I presumed the priestess of Silva in New Attnam could cure lycanthropy. I won't find out now

(at least I managed to kill Merka in this game)

For some reason, I found the following funny:



It turned out the actual cause of death was mustard gas, but there were quite a few more messages below that, and that's how the final three lines looked like. I only learned how I really died from the score list...

Yep, right. I just checked it today when I visited both the Vault and the Enner level.

And talking of bugs, katanas, main gauches and the like have no image... I guess you took the code from LIVAN, but didn't get the images.

Nice stuff. I was somehow expecting stuff from IVANT, too, like the underwater lake, but I'm satisfied enough with what's in

By the way, there's one (larger) bug I've found: when I descended to the Enner Beast level, and then back, I ended up on a staircase guarded by four guards and supposedly leading to "the vault". Since I guess the vault is not in, there are two staircases down a level above Enner.

I've seen friendly dolphins at least once before. This roughly just means that I both die and drink from fountains a lot.

And I didn't ever got a stat increase from sci-talk in my life IIRC. Tried it with banana growers before, but got so bloody bored I resigned any further attempts - maybe I was just doing it wrong.

Nice stuff - love the hedgies. I once sketched IVAN's Ivan during a boring lecutre (actually, a Russian class) but have no means to scan/photography it at the moment...
