Interesting, I assume it will be mostly humans and not so bad guys who will leave, not all enemies, right?

 Good question. I believe that there are some "evil" creatures that will never flee -- they will fight to the death.

Ranman adds that to the "to do" list

There is no "final boss" per se in Ultima V. Yeah... you will have to find a way to defeat all 3 of the Shadow Lords, but they are invincible in standard combat. My advice to you is to run far and fast when you see them (until you figure out what to do). However, there are increasingly difficult enemies as the game progresses.

So basically this is Oblivion for the calc! o.oblink.gif

There are 10 types of people in this world-- those that can read binary, and those that can't.

After the kill, there is a chance that some enemy/monsters may leave some booty (treasure) behind -- this feature is now working. The booty can be almost any type of item such as: gold, food, torches, keys, gems, weapons, armor, shields, helmets, amulets, rings, potions, and scrolls.

Also, not every enemy leaves a corpse after it is killed such as the insect swarm -- this feature is now working.

 Yep... It's getting there! ;)wink.gif

There are about 185 unique items in Ultima V.  :gah:fou.gif

There are about 400 scattered around the world, in the towns, & in the dungeons that you can find by using the "Search" & "Get" commands. Most of the items can be purchased from the merchant NPCs (shop owner) with the "Talk" command. Still other items may be given to you by non-merchant NPCS by asking the right question to the right NPC using the "Talk" comand. :)smile.gif

So much fun! :Dbiggrin.gif

Populating the enemy's treasure chest is now working.

A chest will contain between 1 and 7 items. As the Avatar's level goes up, the chance of getting better items increases. You can keep these items or take them to the local pawn shop in exchange for cold hard cash.

Here is a screenshot of combat on a bridge.
