Might and Magic VI

       Hints from Carolyn Brown, taken from an email

1. The New World Computing Dungeon
----------------------------------
I have just reached level 28, but that's only because I have been
using the hints and maps to get about, and the NWC dungeon to
stock up on gold, food and herbs. It really is worth doing, but
you do need the Lloyd's Beacon spell so that you can hop straight
back from the dungeon to New Sorpigal (you can teleport back as
per the hint files, but it is very tricky. I've managed it once).
I thought at first that the amount of gold you could get from the
cash box in the dungeon was limited to about 50,000.  Actually, I
have found you can get as much as you want so long as you go in
penniless. So, the trick is to jump back and forth using Lloyds
Beacon, dumping each 10,000 gp in the bank before you go back and
keep it up till you get bored. Then go and buy loads of spells
etc.

I've downloaded the patch, and I see they have disabled one or two
of the cheat-enabling bugs, but the NWC dungeon is still intact,
thank goodness.

2. Reputation
-------------
I have been very careful to keep my reputation unsullied, no
trading in bones etc., so I was rather put out last night when one
of our 2 cats jumped onto my keyboard, promptly killing a peasant!
Just as well it wasn't Bertie, our other puss, or he would
probably have killed the keyboard as well, as he is rather on the
large side. My husband gave me a very funny look when I told him
that Toby had just shot a peasant.
