I'm back, and will be checking in, occasionally.

The 1.0 release was braindead as far as diplomatic AI was concerned--literally. But they improved upon it. It was far better than in its successor, though I still prefer Master of Magic in terms of...

Indeed. A smarter AI would have needed a much more extensive rules set. The cheap way out is unfortunately giving the AI special benefits and making it more likely to declare war on the human...

I don't think that's the DOS version, unless Crawford reissued it with coloration later on, and I missed the change.

The later instruments help, though. I typically don't run a bard, but in final game of the series you could acquire one as an add-on to your party who was hilarious: a reptilian with the incredibly...

I'm seeing a couple of messages on the Yahoo Darklands group that Darklands is now on GOG. Shame really, since nobody involved with the actual creation of the game will profit from this. But it's...

Not since April. I frankly wouldn't have expected many, but if they were going to start a FB page, they should have realized that people would use it to, well, communicate.

Last was in April:
They don't seem to post much, which is foolish if you're going to maintain an FB page, since that's pretty much it's main function: establishing and keeping contact with others.

Substitute "far less buggy" for "much better," and you may have your answer. Can't say I've checked out the Amiga one, but the PC version was among the buggiest games I ever reviewed. And they...

The mage is in the barn, isn't he? That's the first major battle you face in the game.
I'm guessing you took the direct route to him. What you wanted to do was work your way around and investigate...

That's a very good point. The game looks a lot larger than just about every chapter is, because there are some artificial limits on where you can go. But there's a great deal to explore, and I see...
