1. INSTALLATION, REQUIREMENTS

Unzip and place this map into the folder:
 Drakan\War of Dark Age\
then launch the Start level (START.LVL).
The level is 5MB big.

Requirements:
 -Drakan 445 Patch correctly installed
 -Sky Common Database correctly installed
 -both Drakan Multiplayer and Singleplayer installed


2. SOME INFORMATION

 The map has several changes and new features which Drakan did not contain, these will be explained here. If you want to avoid some bad surprises, you better read this section.

PLAYER PROPERTIES CHANGES
You will notice that Eylin and Keil are different from Arokh and Rynn. They have less HP (approximetely the half the heroes of Drakan: Order of the Flame had). However, Eylin and Keil are more agile than Arokh and Rynn, and are able to use different weapons, including magic.

Features:
 -Trading
You will be able to buy various weapons or other items, such as potions, for different coins. You will find that better weapons require better coins - and some skills, without what you may not buy certain weapons. You will not be able to sell weapons, though, nor to repair them.

 -Character developing
First, you will be weak as fighter, archer, won't be able to use magic. As you complete quests, and go on, you will be able to train yourself in several skills, like sword mastery, or magical spheres. Note, that if you complete all quests, you can maximally gain 8 skill points - whilst there are 16 possible skills to learn. You must choose which you take...

 -Paralell-ending quests
All quests you encounter will have two endings (or most of them). You will be able to choose which you want - however, this decision can not be undone, and will affect your reward - or the world which sorrounds you. Choose wisely.

 -Dynamic World
The decisions you do can sometimes make the world change around you. You can join Darkness and fight to enslave the world under your command, or join the forces of light, and get the rid of all evil...

 -Friendly NPCs
There will be friendly NPCs who will help you on your way... so you don't need to kill anything what moves. However, note one thing - friendly NPCs will (mostly) only attack the creatures who attack them. This can be you, or an opponent of yours... so watch where you strike. Note that some NPCs (mainly the ones who are in friendly towns) are invulnerable!

MISC INFO

As a mage, always keep in mind to have different magics' scrolls, as a scroll can disappear when in use! And if you have nothing else to fight with, you might be in a trap... Different magics also have (slightly) different damage effects. Try to vary them, that should help.

If you get stuck, read the spoiler files I made.

Keil INDEED has a primary weapon - confuse. It has no visual appereance, and will not cost mana, but will confuse the enemies aimed at, and will force them to flee.

4. KNOWN (and suspected) BUGS

Sometimes the first map (START.LVL) won't work in Windows 2000. It will just crash when going to the first real map. If that would accour with you, email me, and I will try to help you.

At some parts you may stuck... try to load a saved game (autosave, if there is nothing else you could), take a screenshot, and email me where did it accour.

Sometimes may find that you got nothing as a reward for a quest. Before emailing me, check that you had lots of space in your inventory (sometimes you get plates and such!), or try to pick up the item on the ground (even you do not see it). The items are always summoned where Eylin has put the requested quest item.

The opposing archers will sometimes "freeze" for a while - the orcs will begin to strafe while not moving, humans will keep looking at you with some arrogancy. :) I don't know the reason for this though...
