is anybody online today?

Great game. Whenever I save, my file's never there the next time I play. I use the same computer, same website and stuff, but it still won't come.

There is a problem with the game: I'm black robe, and number 2 in the book of mages. I got a quest when I have to talk to the leader of Chaos Desert (number 1 in the book), and when I try to talk to him I challenge him to ranking fight. After I win I try to talk again but he's talking his standard stuff about "atacking, atacking, atacking...", and I can't finish that quest...

BTW: The game is great! Thanks for making it!

Hi everyone,

Just uploaded an update, version 1.20
The History function is still not 100% ready, there are some bugs with the history. The idea is to allow players to paste their history for other people to view.

Skill Changes:
Dark Woods mages' spell "remove effect" requires 60 mana instead of 20 mana.
Chaos Desert mages' spell "remove effect" minus blood(2xeffect level).
Increase starting points from 3 to 10(to make the game easier).
If both mages have poison effect on them, the effect are cancel off(similar to mana burn).
reduce points required to level up Poison from 30 to 20.
reduce points required to level up Mana burn(Great Sea) from 20 to 10.
Improve Building hit detection.
The ? mark that explains how to use magics during battle can be closed.

Bugs:
Fixed "rank 2nd in book of mages, challenge Chaos Desert clan leader instead of mission"

Special drain for chaos and burn for burning hill dont work anymore!

Thanks supermage,
I have fixed the bug. It should work fine now. We are still working on the load history function.

aha, that's why i couldn't figure out, what burn actually does. :-)

The only bug i meanwhile found, is well known here, as i read above. when i once tried to list history, the program disappeared forever. I think, that much worse quality of software than this one is being sold. For a free game the quality already is world class.

Thanks a lot for the effort shuwan!

now i finally found something suboptimal (probably just, because i played it too strong :-)).

i was number 75 in the ranking before young mage contest even started. after having won it, i was reset to number 93. i don't think the game should do that!

when i attack and add the reduce special effect, it doesn't work. FAVORITE GAME!!! WAITED YEARS FOR IT!!! SO WORTH IT!!!

Just uploaded an update. Version 1.22
MichL7 thanks for the bug report. I got it fixed. Now you cannot get in Book of Mages until you have participated in the Young Mage Contest. Also there is no one to challenge until you have reached level 20.

noah6822, glad you like the game :) I double checked the reduce special effect of Chaos Desert, it works fine. The bolt must hit the enemy to reduce special. Try level up the skill so you can reduce more special.

We have made some adjustment to our website.

You wont lose your save-game anymore!

poison for the poison clan doesn't work for some reason!

by the way BEST GAME EVER!!!

Hi mmmaaatttsss, I checked the game and poison is working fine. Make sure the version you see at the main page is latest version 1.22. Also, if enemy and you both are poisoned, the poison effects are cancelled out(for example if you are poisoned with 5 and opponent with 3, next round it becomes you 2 and opponent 0). If it still doesn't work let me know, I figure out the problem.

noah6822: chaos is quite easy to play, as he doesn't need defense (he has twice).

i didn't have any problems to win (#1 in ranking and great mage) by the following:

training:
---------

- level up ha, la to max together with life and mana also to 10
as high level magic take ha, la, ap and c (in this order)
get clan special from the left to the right (in this order)
- at (10 - 10 - 10 - 10) in (ha, la, life, mana) switch to bring up ha, la additional bolts and ap to the maximum and also the damage (right from mana) and max out the levelable clan specials
- when you have maxed out everything on fighting values except hd and ld (they are still at 1 and stay there!) you train 10 points only in mana and then parallely mana and life (you need lots of those to beat up #3, cause otherwise his mana shield is crucial for you in the end).

missions, ranking fights etc.:
------------------------------

chose your side and play your character with some consequence (good or bad). forget being in the black robes, chose white (if you try to become great mage as black robe, they'll trigger the poison), and i don't think that you can get as many skillpoints otherwise than from missions when playing neutral, but didn't try this. when you have no missions, improve your ranking.

And at last i want to say 5 words: "Don't forget to have fun." :-)

i just forgot: always bring life and mana up with the others. when improved all skills you wanted to, you also raise life and mana 1 level.
i normally have ~200 life and ~500 mana at the time fighting values are maxed out. from this position now 10 mana moves and than live - mana parallely.

ok, poison works now.

how come the opponent always uses less mana when he casts bolts?

I actually beat corruptor my first play through XD i had no idea what i had done.I played as a chaos desert mage.anyway,very good game.i hope to see another soon.maybe an autosave slot too?i accidentally erased hours of work in one click.

Sorry.I forgot to tell you that when i was 9,FOUR YEARS AGO,i played Book of Mages on Kongregate and it started my journey into flash games.When i saw this come out,i nearly fainted XD i plan to be on the watch for any more BOMs to come

Adios,
Valentyne the Great

matt,is your power higher?each point of power costs one mana.
