I was at Software Etc and found dragon wars for the amiga for
$14.95. Not bad!
The version number says 0.98 though and sometimes I can not save
a games. For example if I cast a spell... the A-S will not save
and when I quit also can not save... annoying! Sometimes all I
have to do is move to another location and THEN I can cast spells
and still save. Anyhow.
SPOILERS and ftp site for game solutions
For the person who is low on cash. I hang out in the Magan
Underworld near the outpost of Lansk (south of the lake). There
is a magic pool for recovering power. Just a few steps away is
the Lansk outpost that takes you down to the Lansk underground
where there are Pikemen with gold, a healer, armour shop, weapons
shop, paperwork, and some spells including dragonstones.
So I would recover my power... kill pikemen in Lansk underground,
when power gets low scurry back to the magic pool in the Magan
underground. Charge things up, heal and back down to LU. Takes
awhile but from the Magan underground you can
reach most places with a minimum of hassles.
I've almost to the end ( I think ), been just about to all the
locations, including dragon valley, and am almost ready to try
finding the BEAST FROM the PIT.
One last thing... if you find ANY magic item... do NOT SELL IT.
It can be recharged with the sun magic spell... charger. I
discovered this too late and sold the ice wand when it ran out of
charges.
Below is a ftp site for game solutions. I have looked at it and
there is a sol.dragonwrs file. I haven't gotten it because I
KNOW I would look at it! But if anyone is truly frustrated...

Hello folks,
Someone asked about where to find solutions to games, as well as
hints to them. There is a FTP anonymous site that I know of that is
called: mibsrv.mib.eng.ua.edu, and it has lots of walk throughs and
solutions, including Ultima6!
I can't remember who asked for this sort of information, but here it is.
