4th Era - The RuneChild News

It is not a Balrog, but a Balroq...

The main Quest for the North map (Dwarf) is ready.
A Large Dungeon with many rooms, and different special locations.
And at the end, there is a Master Boss (Not a Balrog), with fire damage, and strong health.

If you enter that dungeon after Darkness, there are ghost, which are hard to kill.

Added Some extra dungeons for the North map.

Now you can 'Shield Block', and deflect damage.
With a Large Shield and Master Shield, you can deflect 90%.
(But you can't attack while Blocking.)

I have added A Cut Scene to the start.

Quest Menu had some Bug, which I have change.
If a quest is in another map, the Quest Marker will guide you to that map.

Changed the Skill system, so it is easier to use.
Now you can select between 25 skills; creating your own unique class.

Skills improvement are more smooth, because it is linked to what you do.
But you can also Buy training in selected classes.
Your skill points are now based on your Intelligence, so smarter people learns more.

Minimized the main menu and the start menu, reducing analyze paralysis.

Added save options, so now it only saves as default, when you exit a map.
This makes it faster to enter dungeons..

You can hurt and even kill NPC's and loot them.

Streamlined the Quest menu, so you only see open/active quests.

You can buy spells at magic vendors.
And the bug with magic Rings is also fixed.. (I hope)

Improved the Start Scene, so it is easier to start the game.
Faster way to Return to an old save game, for the repeat offenders.

You can still create a character, but now you can start your game fast.

Main menus has been simplified, so it is easier to see what is going on...

Less stress for the new players
