I need some hints for Citadel. I cant seem to get anywhere. I had a group of characters, but they fell down a shaft and died. I started a new group, but the shop seems to have run out of items (the 1st group bought them all??). There seems to be no where to go except down these shafts where I fall and die (Are there secret/invisible doors I am missing?) and there are no monsters to combat. (Are they NO wandering monsters?) The documentation is scanty at best. Any hints about the early stages (just out of the nursery) of the game would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -DC dchang@cs.umn.edu

Citadel is a HUGE game. Some friends and I are just about to finish it (after working through half the term and all of the summer). Pits are bad news. Don't fall down them unless you have mondo hit points because you never know how far you will fall. there is an elevator starting on the first level. This may be what you are falling down. Once you buy weapons, they will never reappear in the shop except plate mail. A new set of plate mail will appear every either day or week... day, I think. Try to start with studly characters. Knights are the best to start with, but you will need a Magus or wizard as well. Good starting setup: Mother: Milkmaid Father: Labourer Race: Dwarven Gender: Male (doesn't really matter) Alignment: Good (doesn't really matter) With this setup, if you position your hours right, you should get a knight on the first time through. If you think I've given ANYTHING away you're sorely mistaken. You have a very long road in front of you- Enjoy it. One more thing: combat may take a little getting used to. There are wandering monsters. Take extra torches everywhere. And READ THE MANUAL. COVER TO COVER. Good Luck... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - "Steal my car, shoot my dog, take my woman... - - but DON'T touch my lab kit." - - Hal Herhold hal@athena.mit.edu herhold@rel.mit.edu 6-3 @ MIT - ----------------------"ho boy..."
