Another thing about FieldSoft IGMs, they are LORD II styled. The appearence, colors, maps and text are all LORD II similar (such as titles, text color, map graphics and colors, etc). If you do not have LORD II IGM programming experience, FieldSoft IGMs is willing to tutor you through your productions, give you tips and tricks, suggestions for your IGM, and all you'd need to know about animated cut-scenes, external vars and advance Ref File writing.

It was in the first LORD, and just had to be sitting somewhere in the forest, according to me. It took some time before I did enough IGMs to figure out I could actually do this one. But then I had to go with my horse in LORD to actually get the text for the gambling. It actually is very basic for an IGM. I decided to add a little more when you talk to Chance. At first, you could only gossip, or ladies could flirt. Then I though I could add a bit more such as color stuff like in the first LORD, as well as changing your name for a fee. LORD II v1.02 seems to have a problem with the rankings with variables higher than `p30, so I had to remove the etchings at the table, even if it still lies in the Ref file.
