Patch 53 - August 12, 2008 - Mining fix, Para spell

[Derrick]

• Line of Sight check for mining removed
• Mining with full pack will not destroy the ore, it will be dropped to your feet.
• Paralyze spell will hit for one damage.
• Added new Book, Phonemes of The Orcish Tongue
• Beginnings of Flying Implementation. Currently Dragons only.
• Flying creatures have the ability fly over other creatures.
• Dragon move speed increased.

Muchas Gracias on the promptness of those fixes! Just curious, does the dropping out of pack only work for ore now or are other items like wood included?

That was only done for ore. I believe losing the wood is era accurate, that's my memory of it anyway, but I might be wrong.

Strangely, I hadn't even considered birds, was concerned about getting the wyrms accurate. Thanks

birds wouldn't open doors, but dragons can. This was an exploit in the era that was fixed

so if I all guard me, and someone attacks through a castle, my wyrms will fly over the wall and aggro them..?

No, that's what I meant by fixed
Other peoples pets will not be able to fly into your homes.
