Ullyses Ai, very confused is the state in which my spiritual form finds itself. Who or what is the 'Big White Elephant'?

Me again! *blush*

Playing The Diamond Key on paragraph 1069, I won four contests in a row, but did only 1 point of damage for the first win. Of course, I died. I looked over and it said "Weapon None," though I had a knife and a Dwarven Warhammer.

Perhaps another bug?

Thanks!
This one isn't a bug, though I admit it could be clearer. The "Weapon" box shows your currently selected weapon, and if it says None you are deemed to be fighting unarmed, even though you might be carrying one or more weapons. To select a weapon you highlight it in the list of possessions and click on USE.

Hey Ulysses. I've been playing The Diamond Key, and it's got to rank as one of my best FF reads ever. Kudos.

Question. I am trying to get to the reference 1000 ending, but am getting stuck somewhere.

Hi! Replaying Diamond Key I have noticed that weapon's damage bonuses differ from those in MS-Word file.
For example, it looks like dagger now has Damage bonus 1 instead of 2 and GRIFFIN SOLDIER has weapon with Damage bonus 3 instead of 6. Have you changed statistics for equipment?
If so, can I have a look on updated version?

Hi binki.

The values for weapons were modified, but those that appear now in the online version are the final values. If you really want the list of values for some reason I can post them here, but not tonight because it's already tomorrow morning.

Hi Ulysses.
I wanted to see your version of damage and armor bonuses as an example of game balance. The Diamond key impressed me much. I even tried to play it with a couple of friends - and we came to conclusion that armor wasn't really worth buying.
But playing online version I died couple of times fighting Griffon guards with dagger - and found that armor was improved.
Are you planning of making final version of Diamond Key available for downloading and offline playing? :)
