I've fought that battle much more than two times. This triple encounter was (IMHO) the thoughes of ALL in the game. Wild boars in the wilderness have the same effect. When you get wild boars a little below 0 HP, they stand up and grin. I believe that they will only last for a while and then drop dead spontaniously, and that's where the bug lives. So kill them wild boars seriously, to -10 HP or so. If they stand up and grin, get 'em real fast! Anyway, I didn't use any haste's, but lots of Stinking Cloud etc. > I found the number to SSI in the brochure that accompanied the game.

According to my friend who introduced me to SSI games, Champions and Curse are not buginfested like Pool. PoR on Amiga had a very difficult birth, and there was lots of time pressure to get it on the market. To their credit, all three games I've tried worked on my A3000. -Henrik ______________________________________________________________________________ | Henrik Clausen, Graffiti Data | If the Doors of Perception where cleansed, | | ...{pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax! | Man would see Reality as it is - Infinite. | \______cbmehq!adspdk!hclausen___|_________________________________W.
