I played it....but it got too hard to follow because the texts kept disappearing after like a minute.

You can ignore most of the texts. I beat it when playtesting and when it came out. The only hard parts are really finding out which trigger you should hit. Oh well, it was rather unique. Another would be great!

It's been a while, so my memory is a bit vague. I got through the mountains, after dodging the fire, got around an enemy city, then was supposed to go through some portal. It didn't seem to work. It gave a text message, but didn't recreate the units on the other side as I thought it should have. After that I couldn't figure out what to do. Up until then I was quite fascinated by the scenario.

I sure liked the bat. files that changed the events, Mike. I wish I knew how to do that! (hint-hint).

Never seen it, never played it, never heard of it. I'm sure its great, though!
Just tryin to get my post count up...

You know that I've beaten it...I was the first one

I did had a lot of luck in finding that thief though.

I got to the last part, but got fed up with trying to get to Skull Mountain. I only got as far as I did because I had a mate who`d read all the Shannara books helping me out.
And I accidently formatted my hard disk today, so I lost all my scenarios and saved games.

I got close, believe me!

Paul, I bet that your friend even recomended that you read the series yourself.

He knows that I`m not really into that sort of stuff, but if I was he`d have done so instantly.

Like I said before, the wolves got me after that first city (MANY times).:-)

I screwed up at the part where I was supposed to sail a boat of refugees down the river and liberate a city (its been a long time since I played and I am relying on a fuzzy memory). The message concerning what I was supposed to do was vague and I didn't realize that one of the refugees was like Wonderwoman and could level cities. I didn't have a savegame to restart from so I wasn't able to finish the game.
