How the heck do you move around??

Never Mind. I figured out a way past the ambush at the City of Brass. After you open the gates, but before anything can actually happen, stop time by clicking on the movement cursor. Speed up time to the fastest setting (I play on slow because fast is blinding and impossible to control). Then, order your party to join al-Mansur. On fast speed, the party jumps the half-centimeter or so into al-Mansur's camp so fast that the skeleton ambush doesn't have time to trip. You fight the battle with the skeletons normally. I don't know if this simple solution will work for anyone else, but it worked for me.

You can only use the flying carpet to get INTO the city of brass. To get out, you have to open the door for al-Mansur's men. Every time I do this, I am ambushed by skeletons before I can link up with Mansur. Does anyone know if there is a patch for this, or any kind of remedy? I'd hate to see a great game stonewalled in the third chapter. Honestly, though, this kind of buginess doesn't surprise me. It's the same reason why I never beat Spirit of Excaliber, even though I've had it for over a decade. You can get to a certain point, usually with the giant in chapter three or trying to get Helye's book near the end of chapter three, and things would go berserk. My characters would attack the bishop at Canterbury, or each other, the game would go into a frozen loop of screen changes back and forth from town to map, and I would take a deep breath and stop playing the game for a few years. Sound familiar?

It would be okay if they weren't such awesome games. Even today I've never seen anything like them.

I'm stuck there as well; the skeletons slaughter my knights immediately and I don't think that's how it's supposed to work

Sorry guys. I'm currently on vecation, so I can't really look into that. I'll try to help you out next week (don't have my computer nor the game here). If somebody else can figure this out - please share the information.

p.s. Copying may help, but I wouldn't count on it. If you have some spare floppies you may try (hope it works - although it doesn't sound likely).

Run install and it will ask you if you wish to import the characters (among other things). Haven't tried that option personally (sorry), but it should work.

How do you transfer the knights from the first to the second one?
