Okay, I just remembered another game which I should mention in this topic, especially if as you said elsewhere Caccio that you are a fan of sports management.
that is path to pelantas, which is sort of a mix of fantasy tactical battles, albeit automatic ones, and sports aanagement, where you control a team of heroes and battle against other people.

I confess it wasn't my thing, but there are people on the forum who've very much enjoyed it.
Check the database entry for more info.

There is only one settlement in entombed, though you will find special shops in the dungeon with good equipment to sell.
Also as a rule of thumbmixing magic and technique based jobs like barbarian healer is generally not a good idea, since you earn stat advances each level from both jobs, and so you'll find a point where your magic abilities and physical abilities are half as weak as they should be compared to the enemies.

This happened to me once, I took a monk healer right through to the 25th floor, got to the final boss, and couldn't actually do enough damage to overcome the boss's regeneration so had to abandon the game.

Btw, there are also a few unlockable jobs and races you might want to look at.
Some involve random drops, one unlockable race needs buying in the bizarre, however two unlockable jobs (including a very awesome one), involved playing specific combinations of other jobs.
Let me know if you'd like a hint as to what combinations of other jobs work for the unlockables.

Glad your liking entombed, I actually need to install it on this machine myself.

hmhmhm

That's cool then, I plan to do the very same way!

I just wonder why I haven't been notified by the game about that teleportation possibility, meaning once I reached the settlement with bazar for the 1st time...nor is it present in the game's context menu!

Thanx again!!!

There is a notification, right after you defeat the wolves. It says you find a crystal orb near one of the wolves and tells you what it is and how to use it.

Hi all!
I have problem with heell spel in entombed.
How doo I heell my torso? or I must use the heeling potion?
My problem is (while in batle, I am get attack by the drake, & my torso was injurt.  I kant heel him/her.
I tryed to heel 1 of my caricter but it only heel 1 point).
& my enemy kan heel 3 to 17 point.

Damnit...this means I was playing this game on ultra-impossible difficulty level so far...WHY was this aiming/healing-system never, nowhere told and explained in the game???
Now the whole game will become several levels easier to me...and I am not wuite sure that's something I'll actually like, since I like games hard..."the harder the better!"
Hell, I wasn't even aware of the possibility to filter inventory items by categories...(probably with the "tab" key I guess)

As for the arrows in inventory, selecting them with "enter" or "space" produces only a "click" sound, (just like by all other, non-usable objects), but nothing more happens, so no additional comment or question can be heard.
(tried this out more times in the past)
So this issue still meeds a solution!
Or is it possible, that there is still an option for choosing the weapon, its just Windows SAPI who cannot read it, and there is a similar problem with the description of items as well???
(I guess I should try playing the game with NVDA for a change)

I just wonder what else more I am still missing from this game...for example, maybe even a description/commentary exists for each single item, and it's just me who doesn't know of it???

Edit:
The "changing ammo" issue is solved!
Namely, I have to press "enter" on the equipped weapon in the inventory, instead of the carried ammos.

@danang, do heal on waste enough it'll cover the torso too.

@Caccio, targeted heal only counts the healer's healing spell not potions, so no you've not been playing the game on easy.

glad you solved the amo thing. Unfortunately rangers tend to be pretty cruddy since while their abilities are awesome, (especially if you combine with assassin and raise the critical hits skill) when you get further down the dungeon you'll find creatures who have such hard skins they're virtually unaffected by anything but steal weapons or magic, which means ranged weapons and thus most of the good stuff rangers do become pretty pointless.

It's actually one of the balance issues in the game, like magic never missing, and your armoured and unarmoured characters having pretty much the same chance of being attacked, and something which again was hopefully going to be fixed in entombed ii.

Imho the best comboes are necro healer, necro and one of the unlocked classes, assassin brawler, or assassin and anything if you have a bard or trickster in your party, ---- indeed assassin monk can be deadly if you go unarmed and put points into multiple attack, unarmed and iron skin.

there are actually lots of good, and not so good job combos in the game and a lot of the fun in entombed is trying to use what you get to best advantage .

The wolf doesn't have armour unfortunately.
Trueshot does not increase damage, it increases accuracy, however since most if not all enemies in the game are harder to damage than to hit it's a bit pointless.
multishot and the base archery skill are the rangers best techniques, especially with critical hits from the assassin as I said.

As to body parts, well bare in mind you might not hit what you aim at .
this is one area where spells are better since even if you don't hit the targeted body part with a spell, you still hit the enemy, where as melee attacks can miss, then again, melee attacks can be more damaging than spells if done right.

Also bare in mind the increased cooldown for some techniques.

As to targeting 8 = head, 5 = torso or waste, 1 is left leg, 3 is right leg, 4 is left hand and 6 is right hand.

You can use either the number pad or number row.

If you want the monster of one hit death, try necromancer and iceblast to the noggin! .

I also find combining assassin brawler fun, since assassinate triggers extra damage when the target is helpless, including being grappled. sleep is also good for this.

As to the wolf, no the wolf doesn't get armour, actually the wolf becomes something of a liability after level 15 or so, though keeping it alive through the game does give you extra points on your score.

I was "busy" playing Tactical Battles these last few days, and as some of You can probably guess, the campaign I like the most is definitely that zombie-survival one, normally especially the 2 so called"hard" maps in it...
With the one called "Hard Road" I had no troubles, figured out the "winning strategy" very soon, and finished it without any losses in my 2nd try.
However, the "Zombie House Hard" luckily provides me amuch harder challenge, mostly due the lacking weapon-arsenal of the survivors, but I am still quite sure I will successfully finish this one soon too.

Attention!
I have an appeal regarding Tactical Battles, and I would be extremely grateful if ANYONE of you people would realize it!
So, could someone of You PRETTY PLEASE create a campaign, or at least a single map with the Aliens topic???
I mean a survival, or a "kill them all" type one, with a group of 8 or more members to lead, (like in Aliens 1-2 movies), so basically a similar to those zombie-theme maps, just adjusting the scene, environment, characters, equipment, and monsters to the "Aliens" theme...
I truely doubt this is a too demanding request, which is unlikely to require too much effort, normally meaning to those skilled in Tactical Battles map-design and editing.
If possible, I would also like the access to the next,and other following maps to be denied to players, allowing them to move on to the next map only after successfully finishing the current one...You know, the game loses much of its excitement and thrill, when all the campaign/story parts/sequels are known and reachable to players right from the very start!

Errr...and PLEASE, do try to make it as hard to (successfully) finish as possible, so much harder than that "Hard Road" named Zombie-map is!

Regarding tactical battle.. Is there a way for me to download new maps? The download map campaigns on the main menu doesn't seems to be updated.
