I have found an inconsistency in Omega that is annoying. If you are placed on the tactical map with a creature beside you, the monsters seems to get a lot of actions before you have the chance to do anything. (I have seen monsters move 6 to 8 times or more) If you appear without a monster beside you, they seem to get no extra actions, they don't seem to do anything until after you have moved. I tried looking through the code for this, but I was not able to follow what was happening at the start of a tactical. (I have had a couple of characters killed because of the "feature" or bug, whichever it may be. It is annoying to have your character killed by repeated free attacks from a monster that he could have killed in one or two blows.) (The actual count is now 3 characters dead due to this, the latest one got poisonned by a Ninja(genjin) and died of poisonning without getting one action in the tactical, he didn't even get a chance to look at what all was on the screen (ie x command).) -David Gibbs (dgibbs@bnr-fos.UUCP or ...!uunet!watmath!neat.ai.toronto.edu!utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!dgibbs)
