I wish to convey my deepest personal thanks to Yat Siu and Typhoon Games, Karsten Otto and Crimson Cow, Robert Stevenson and DreamCatcher Games, Pablo de la Nuez and FX Interactive, Nikolay Baryshnikov and 1C Moscow, Chandra and Gerhard Schanz and Schanz International Consultants, and my dear wife Paulette, for their unfailing devotion, unwavering belief, and endless patience which has made Dungeon Lords possible. Dungeon Lords was created to offer you a true-life experience of an authentic fantasy universe. To master Dungeon Lords will require that you develop your own playing skill and style as well as those of your personal character hero. Let instinct and intuition be your guide as you venture forth into this dangerous new world. [. . . ] The trap must be disarmed or the chest must be bashed open in order to open it. When a trap is present, the Disarm Trap window will appear when you attempt to open the chest. This window provides you with the following information and control options: · Trap: The type of trap. · Progress Bar: A rectangular box that appears just below the Odds display. · Disarm Icons: One or more iconic buttons that appear below the Progress Bar. If your attempt is successful, the chest opens and your character is not hurt in the process. · Bash: Click this button to smash the lock and open the chest through brute force. This automatically sets off the trap, inflicting damage on your character and may or may not successfully open the chest. · Inventory: Opens the Inventory Display to the Keys section, allowing the use of lockpicks. Lockpicks increase your disarm skill by the level of the lockpick (for the current disarm attempt only). · Leave: Closes the Disarm Trap window without attempting to open the chest. Some of these icons correspond to the Disarm Icons at the bottom of the window. Your Inspect Trap skill determines how visible the icons in the progress bar will be. After a three-second countdown, a red indicator begins moving across the Progress Bar. The higher your Disarm Trap skill, the slower the indicator progresses (thus giving you more time to disarm the trap). When the red indicator reaches an icon in the Progress Bar that matches a Disarm Icon, (the icon will turn gold) click the corresponding icon. If your timing is correct, the corresponding Disarm Icon will turn gold. If all Disarm Icons are clicked correctly, the trap will disarm and the chest will open. If you make a mistake, the disarm sequence is aborted and the trap is sprung!Traps have various detrimental effects (depending on the trap) and your character will take damage and/or suffer other negative effects. ACTIVATING DOORS AND OTHER OBJECTS You will encounter many doors, portcullis, or other objects that can be activated. To activate a door or object, step up to it and press either Shift key. [. . . ] Boon Missiles 7 Enchants the character and all his allies' ranged weapons, increasing the damage it inflicts. Shards of Stone 7 Razor-sharp stone shards stream from the caster's fingertips, inflicting damage by shredding his opponents. Anti-Magic Shield 7 Creates a temporary invulnerable magic shield and equips it for the caster to use when blocking. While blocking, the shield will reflect any magic projectiles back at the monster who cast them. [. . . ]
