- I finished the normal game at the default level (I think it's veterans, I
- usually don't change it.) but only by copying items. If you use the vorpal
- weapon cheat (ie, give everyone vorpal arrows/slings) then its easy.
-
- Use spells and missile weapons on the blue minnions, not melee.
-
- I haven't gotten through Dave's chalenge.
-
- Speaking of Dave, has anyone else gotten though the his challenge at the end
- of Death Knights of Krynn? It's a pain. (End battle, 8 death knights, 4
- specral dragons)
