DRAGON WARS by Interplay, IBM version


     Dragon Wars from Interplay is a fun game! It is a large computer
fantasy game of similar scale as Magic Candle <Mindcraft> and the Ultima
series <Origin>. Nice graphics, ease of play, good documentation all play
their parts in making this an enjoyable game. Of particular delight to me,
given the games I have been playing of late, was the fact that Dragon Wars
is bug free! Frankly I admire a game company that takes the time to give
their market a quality product and Interplay has certainly done so with
Dragon Wars!
     Installing the game is a simple process. I played on a PC 386 clone
with VGA and harddisk. After making a directory for the game, I just copied
the files and ran a quick install to set the game for my graphic
capabilities. That done, you fire up the game. The game provides pre-built
characters but also supports characters from Bard's Tale I, II, and III.
Since I had saved characters from a Bard's Tale game, I decided to use them
to play Dragon Wars. Word of advise on using Bard's Tale characters: first
examine the pre-built characters that come with Dragon Wars and write down
their stats and skills, create characters from your Bard's Tale game and do
the same. Compare the two sets of characters closely paying particular
attention to Magic skill/knowledge. There are five types of magic in Dragon
Wars: Low, High, Sun, Druid and Misc. Ideally you will want your party to
have knowledge of low, high, sun and druid magic types or as many as
possible. Choose which ever character group has the best representation of
knowledge in magic.

AUTOMAPPING:
     Dragon Wars includes an automapping feature which can be viewed by
pressing "?". While this is intended to remove the need of the players to
map the game areas on graph paper and is wonderfully useful, I still mapped
the game out on paper. The deficiency of automaps is that you can take no
notes on them, nor mark spots that have a particular importance. While it
was time consuming for me to draw out the maps it was time well spent. I
advise you to do the same. If nothing else, the automap feature will ensure
that your drawn maps are accurate.

NOTES ON THIS FILE:
     Except for the beginning of the game, where you go and when is
completely up to you. My notes are arranged after discussion of PURGATORY
<start game area> and the MAGAN UNDERWORLD <great place> in alphabetical
order and ending with SALVATION and DEPTHS OF NISIR which are the end game
areas. The notes listed in alphabetical order are by NO means a
recommendation of when you should do what. It is merely an effort on my
part to make this file easier for you to use.

SAVING YOUR GAME:
     Dragon Wars has a simple and fast save feature. To protect yourself,
though, you should exit the game from time to time and copy the file data1
to another <save1 or Lansk or whatever name reminds you of the point of
save>. These files are HUGE being close to 300K in size but potentially
worth their weight in gold!

PURGATORY - start game
     Upon starting the game, you find your characters in the city of
Purgatory <catchy name, wonder how they thought of it> with absolutely no
equipment, money or clothes. Fortunately this sad condition is easily
remedied. In the middle of the north end of Purgatory there is an arena
anxious for new victims for their gladiators. "Fight gladiators barefisted
and barebottomed" you think.... not to worry, the arena will offer to equip
your characters. They offer a range of low end equipment, leather armor,
maces, swords and all of it free for the fighting. You're going to lose the
fight, I might as well tell you that now, but in most cases you are not
going to die so while you'll get thrown out of the arena a little worse for
the wear, you will have equipment. <I recommend that you save your game
before entering the arena just in case one of your characters should bite
the dust>

     Now that your characters have basic equipment, its time to explore
your new prison, I mean home. There are such lovely things to do in
Purgatory. You can sell yourself as a slave in the slave market, join the
thieves guild, listen for rumors in the tavern and even ask for a
volunteer! Seriously, do ask for a volunteer in the tavern which is in the
north-east portion of the city. You'll pick up a volunteer named Ulrik who
has skills in Cave Lore and Axes. He's not a great character, but he's nice
to have along. Don't join the thieves' guild which is located in the south-
west portion of the city. Here you should stoutly maintain your honor.
Doing so will give you a mini-quest to defeat the Humbaba monster in the
north-east corner of the city. When you do defeat the Humbaba, return to
the guild and you will be given 1000 gold pieces for your efforts! The
slave market is one way out of Purgatory but there are others and there is
nothing of great importance to find there.
     There is a magic shop in the west side of Purgatory. For any
characters who have Low Magic, this is a great place to pick up the spells
for that magic and they are FREE. Along the north wall <west of the arena>
is the Black Market, a good place to buy some better equipment with the
1000 gold you obtained from the thieves. Probably the best use of your
money at this stage is in better armor. <Do not buy dragon stones at this
point. They are expensive and within Purgatory, unnecessary. On the south
side of the city there is a magic pool which will restore magic energy.>

     There is a secret passage in the northwest corner of the city that
will gain you access to the outer wall. There are many encounters in this
wall area with guards which can generate additional cash slowly. In the
southeast corner of the outer wall there is a gap in the stones leading to
the waters below. Try using SWIM if you decide to use this exit from
Purgatory, but I recommend using the Magan Underworld instead. You can also
exit Purgatory in the the southwest corner of the outer wall. Again, I
suggest the Magan Underworld as the best choice.

SKILLS, POWER REGENERATION and INVENTORY in DRAGON WARS:
     Logic might dictate that this paragraph belongs before actually
getting into the game itself. I choose to include it after basic notes
about Purgatory because you need to have a rudimentary understanding of how
the game works to appreciate/understand the advise I will give here. Dragon
Wars is a skill based system which means that any time your characters
advance a level you have to decide from three menu pages where you're going
to put your "two cents worth". The documentation that comes with the game
advises that you spread the knowledge/skills around among your characters.
This is good advise. There are so many options, there is no way within this
game that you can make one character completely skilled so DON'T TRY.
Decide which character will specialize in what skills. You might want to
make one concentrate on Lore <arcane, mountain, forest, etc> and another on
the thiefly skills <pickpocket, lockpick, etc.>. Get all the skills covered
one way or another, but spread the "workload" over all your characters.
     Perhaps my only great complaint with Dragon Wars concerns the skill
based system. When a character advances a level you only get 2 points to
apply to the skills/attributes. It is very difficult to know how to spend
these 2 points wisely. Many skills and attributes cost 2 points to increase
1 point. Obtaining a new magic knowledge costs 10 points! To give you an
example of the significant cost that reflects, my characters at end game
were around 14th level and they did not begin the game at 1st level
<because I transferred characters from Bard's Tale>. That represents a lot
of level advancements in which I could make no improvements on characters I
wished or needed to obtain a new magic knowledge.
     To cast spells you have to have magic power. Every time you cast a
spell some magic power is drained. There are two ways to regenerate magic
power. One is the use of Dragon Stones or Eyes and the other is to find a
magic pool that restores energy. Dragon Stones restore 20 points of power
and Dragon Eyes restore 30 points. Magic pools restore all magic points and
have the added advantage of being free! Dragon Stones can be purchased in
many locations throughout Dragon Wars for 250 gold. Dragon Eyes can only be
found as treasure. Magic pools are far and few between, but fortunately
there are a few in some excellent locations that you can take full
advantage of during the game. There is a magic pool in PURGATORY in the
south-east corner <there are actually two corners in Purgatory that you
could call south-east, the magic pool is located in the southern most one
of the two>. Make good use of this pool to restore your magician's power
and allow you to heal your characters as you explore this city.
     Inventory is the other area where I experienced frustration with
Dragon Wars. Your characters can only carry so much which in and of itself
is acceptable. The problem arises when you run out of space. Dragon Wars
does not provide any means of storing items in a location for use later. To
further complicate matters some treasure chests that you find will
disappear after you have opened them so if you were unable to take all the
treasure, it will not be there when you return. This is not true of ALL
treasure chests, but being true at all can cause problems. Some treasures
are unique and needed to solve the game. It is not always clear which items
are important and which are not. Some locations have numerous treasures
available and your characters are soon out of space. I managed to avoid
problem related to inventory in my own game, but it is worth noting so that
you manage your own character's inventory with care. You will find lots of
weapons in this game. Examination of an item tells you what strength or
dexterity or skill is needed to use it. Examination does not tell you the
kind of damage the weapon is capable of inflicting. To get a rough idea of
the power of a weapon, look at its value on the SELL menu. The more
valuable an item is the better it is. Some weapons/items have spells on
them. Some of these are worth keeping in your inventory, but in general
don't carry around a lot of items for which you have no real use. Sell them
for the money. Now back to the game!

STILL IN PURGATORY:
     Paragraph notes to be found in Purgatory: 14, 5, 9, 10, 67, 3, 94, 77

MAGAN UNDERWORLD:
     There is on the west side of the city an entrance to the Magan
Underworld. The Magan Underworld represents one of the largest single areas
in the game excluding the above ground world. Its a wonderful place and
accessable to many of the other locations in Dragon Wars. The Magan
Underworld is a very important place within the game. There is so much to
be found here that it is difficult to know where to begin telling you of
its wonders. Since this area "wraps" upon itself, it is almost impossible
to tell you where you will find what in this area. If we use your point of
entrance from Purgatory into the Magan Underworld for reference, we can get
a general sense of direction. <note: place this point in the center of your
graph paper if you do decide to commit areas to hard copies>
     To the north of your point of entrance you will find two buildings.
The smaller of the two contains stairs that will lead you to the Lansk
Undercity <a tough place for beginning characters, but has an armory,
healer and weapons shop not far from the stairs>. The larger building of
the two, while located here, is only accessable from Necropolis and
contains the only means of resurrecting your characters within the game.
Also to the north is a small river and lake. On the southern side of the
lake there is a magic pool that restores magic power. This particular pool
provided me with endless use so its handy to know exactly where it is
located. In the center of the lake there is a small island called the ISLE
OF WOE. You will not be able to reach this island until later in the game,
when you get the Golden Boots from Mud Toad's Priests, but it is a very
important location.
     There is a doorway that leads by <on the north side> of the larger of
the two buildings to the area where you can see the location of the ISLE OF
WOE. This are is bounded by water and pits. IMPORTANT: The first pit area
to the west of the water in this area is safe to walk upon. Doing so will
result in 5 points that can be spent upon character skill/attribute
development. Don't miss this!! You cannot fall into the pits in THIS area
<not true everywhere else> so check around until you locate this square. 5
points is too much to pass by.
     To the west of point of entry there are stairs leading up to the
MYSTIC WOODS. To avoid any confusion the means of returning to the Magan
Underworld from the Mystic Woods is to use the ability CLIMB. I didn't
realize this when I was first playing the game and it caused me to restore
the game to an earlier point. You can avoid my difficulty. 3 squares south
and 3 squares west of the entrance to the Mystic Woods is the first of two
treasures that can be found in the Magan Underworld.
TREASURE 1:      Rusty Axe <str 18>
    a great axe!


 Speed Wand <casts Zak's Speed>


 Bomb <3 quantity> <casts Zak's Speed>


 Dragon Stones <10 quantity>
     To the east of point of entry are stairs leading to Tar's Ruins
Underground. This is a relatively small area map that wraps upon itself.
There are secret passages that reveal treasures which I will detail later.
To re-enter the Magan Underworld, you must again use the ability CLIMB.
     To the south our point of entry to the Magan Underworld is an area
with many fires. Each of these fires causes damage to your characters.
There is in the north area of the fires the 2nd treasure to be found in the
Magan Underworld.
TREASURE 2:      Slicer <sword> <str 17>       a wonderful weapon!


 Dragon Stones <10 quantity>
     Also in the fire are is the entrance to the Dwarf Clan Hall. Early in
the game you do not need to access this area.
     To the east of the fire area is a large pit and an path leading south.
This path forms a cross shaped area with an entrance to SALVATION. Along
the path you will encounter fairies that will ask if you are willing to
sacrifice a life to continue. Replying "yes" will reduce you party to
minimun life force. While there is reason to use this path near the end of
the game, you need not explore it before hand.

OTHER AREAS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY:

BRIDGE between Isle of the Sun and Forlorn:
     You need Citizen papers to cross this bridge.

BRIDGE between Lansk and Isle of the Sun:
     Pikemen here will ask to search your packs and if allowed to do so
will ask a percentage in gold of what you are carrying to cross the bridge.
Refusal to pay results in an encounter with 3 pikemen. This is not a
difficult encounter and better than paying the fee. Of note on this bridge
is the building containing the Armory. Enter the building once and you just
get thrown out. Enter twice and you can fight it out with the guards. If
successful you can reach the armory <there is a pit in the room before it
which will cause damage to your party> and reap the following:
ARMORY:
  Axe of Kalah      str 18 <excellent weapon>


 Holy Mace
 Exorcism spell


 Gem Helm


 Gauntlets


 Archers' Bow      dex 18


 Boomerang

     See QUAG BRIDGE.

BYZAN DUNGEON:
     Accessable from Byzanople <see notes>. This small area will be filled
with a number of encounters until you reach the northwest area of where you
will encounter the Princess. She will ask you to surrender, do so. You will
meet Prince Jordan and given freedom to roam the dungeon area until it is
time to defeat the forces in the Siege Camp. Do not take the stairs
leading up until you have explored the rest of this area. You will find in
a room on the northeast a treasure:

Directly north and 1 square to the east of where you enter are stairs
leading down. Alternately, there is also an entrance in the southeastern
area. Here you will need to move a rock <strength> to reveal an opening.
Both lead you to the Byzan Dungeon. You will not obtain access to Byzanople
proper until after you have completed Byzan Dungeon. In the city there is a
healer, an Armorer:

east. You can by pass this barrier with the use of Soften Stone. The
eastern portion of this area is also accessable from King's Island if you
have the Jade Eyes <to be found in the treasure chest on Smuggler's Cove

KINGS ISLAND:
     This portion of Dilmun <see map in documentation> contains Kingshome,
Byzanople, Siege Camp, Nexus to Mystic Forest, Old Dock, Old Bridge, Ruins
and a Decaying City <see related notes>. Encounters on this island are too
rough for beginning characters. There is also on this island an Ambush area
on the northeast coast which will result in you being thrown into the
dungeon under Kingshome <see related notes>.

KINGSHOME CASTLE:
     Accessable from the Kingshome Dungeon <once only> and from King's
Island <if you have the Signet Ring, see Decaying City>. If you came up
from the dungeon you will have a peaceful encounter with Namtar in the
north central area of the castle. Exiting his room will cause the door to
disappear forever. Doors in the north will lead you into the wall area. On

library of rare books.
TREASURE 1:      Polearm


 Royal Robe


 Rare Books


 Boomerang

wall.
     Paragraph notes for Kingshome Castle: 131, 130

KINGSHOME DUNGEON:
     Accessable by being ambushed in the northeast of King's Island. Not
for beginning characters, be prepared to do everything at one time. You
will not be able to return here once you leave. You will find your group in
a prison cell which is not locked. To the south are guards just waiting to
beat you up. If you survive that, to the east is a door that leads to
stairs going up. Don't take them until you have continued all the east and
north to the last door in the hallway. There are some big encounters here,
but this last room contains the King's armory:
KINGS ARMORY:    Black Helm
Zak's Speed


 FireShield


 Grey Arrow<20>


 Gatlin Bow
10 dex <rather like a machine gun>


 Throw Mace


 Mage Ring

After collecting this treasure, return to the stairs which will take you up
to Kingshome Castle.
     Paragraph notes for Kingshome Dungeon: 53, 65

LANAC'TOOR'S LABORATORY:
     Accessable only after restoring Lanac's statue in Mud Toad. You will
need the spell SOFTEN STONE to successfully complete this area. The map
wraps upon itself both north to south and east to west. To the northeast of
your point of entry, through several walls is a large room in which three
treasures will be found:
TREASURE 1:      Healing Potion


 Battle Wand       Battle Power spell


 Dragon Shield
TREASURE 2:      Fire Storm
<sun magic>


 Zak's Speed       <misc magic>

TREASURE 3:      Lanac's Spectacles <needed to gain access into Magic




     College>
To the northwest of point of entry is an entrance to the Magan Underworld.
It is a one way trip.
     Paragraph note for Lanac's Lab: 107

LANSK:
     Accessable from Dilmun <outdoors> or the Lansk Undercity <no way back
to undercity though>, this is a bureaucratic nightmare. The officials here
will have you running all over the city to get paper work done. This is
easily avoided by making use of EZ Paperwork in the Lansk Undercity. There
is one treasure to be found on the west side of the city.
TREASURE 1:
     Druids Mace

  Cure All spell
     In the northeast area of the city, you will learn in the Quarter
Masters Office the Mog the Slave Owner has left his estate, which is to be
found on Forlorn, to you. The Quarter Master doesn't know why Mog did this
and neither do I! ;)
     Encounters in this city are nasty for beginning characters if not
impossible. They can and should be avoided until later in the game.
     Paragraph notes for Lansk: 64, 35

LANSK UNDERCITY:
     Accessable to the Magan Underworld, this place was very useful to me.
Encounters here are rough for new and middle characters, but you can do a
lot of exploring here if you are careful.
     There are four shops and a healer in this area that are all useful.
The armorer, weapon and healer are all on the east side of this area. EZ
paperwork and the Magic shop are on the west. The magic shop is located
through a secret passage which is easily found.
