Game: Tales of Tamar Version 0.49R1
The new Amiga version (V0.49R1) of the Internet-based round-by-round game 'Tales of Tamar' has been released. This update offers the following changes since version 0.48R5:

New Features:
  • Grain silos now also calculate the quantity of offices in the cities
  • Report for failed piracy is built-in
  • Report for succesful piracy is built-in
  • News for the victims of piracy is built-in
  • Dragons and Undead are built-in
  • The coronation screen has been activated
  • The third diplomacy screen has been activated
  • The tenth requestor in the control screen has been activated
  • Vassal contracts in diplomacy have been activated
  • New samples for the coronation and dragons are built-in
  • AnimFX V2 is built-in (completely reworked animation routines!)


Bugfixes:
  • Settlers and spies could conquer cities in a state of rebellion - Bug fixed
  • Shops may no longer be loaded on a ship's position
  • Small fix in diplomacy (Thanks to the PC version)
  • Bug fix in the requestor of the liege lords
  • Loaded spies and settlers may no longer be terminated if they are standing in the city on a ship
  • Grain silos accept only a deposit of 500
  • New card elements are built-in
  • Figures on the water are now terminated, if they haven't been shipped
  • ToT is independent of the animations again
ToT is the first game in the world to administer wideranging structures of liege lords, vassals, and henchmen. Through these game options it is possible for the player to close vassal treaties with other players and thereby to ascend through the hierarchy of titles. There are 8 different titles in Tamar: Baron, Viscount, Count, Marquis, Duke, Archduke, King, & Emperor. For each presently occurring coronation, one will see a little animation of course.

Titles in Tamar are not just purely a status symbol, because here good players are rewarded with free rounds each month! If one is able to progress into the highest ranks, ToT makes it possible to play an almost costless game.

As to reports of piracy, the only thing we have to say is that we have added this because the inquiries of players and testers. Pirates should now offer better game options.

Dragons have been observed! (Quote from the ToT forum).

The dragons are a very old breed of winged beings of immense size. They make their homes in remote places. On Tamar there are different types of dragons, which are generally differentiated by skin color and behavior. One thing they all have in common: they are hatched, devour meat, use breath as a weapon, love gold and jewels and are very strong.

Many dragons live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Because of this long history they are inclined to look down their noses at the younger types of beings - such as humans.

On Tamar there are different types of dragons. Some of them may even be called by the races of Elves and Dwarf, when they find themselves in danger.

But the most powerful dragon is the gold one. His breath is of a fire and gas mixture capable of incinerating entire cities. Thankfully he is not particularly aggressive and is even honorable of disposition.

On the opposite angle is the red dragon. This absolutely chaotically evil dragon has nothing else in mind but to annihilate all creatures in a fiery death. He is not quite as strong as the gold, but his aggressiveness knows no limits. He sinks ships, leaves cities in soot and ashes, and attacks great armies if it must be. We want to warn all the players in the world about this dragon! Dragons typically run in small packs of one to four.

Lastly, we wish to call your attention to the 'Offer of Tamar.' Amiga Future publishes a page every two months with news, tips, tricks, and statistics about the best players of Tamar at that time. We're especially happy about this cooperation. (ps) (Translation: dm)
