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)
