Here is an online version of the Ultima V documentation

The first few pages really sets the grim mood of the game. B)

It is a journey log containing an account of the final days of Lord British.

BTW: A perceptive reader will find many hints within the journey log and the Book of Lore. :ph43r:

So read carefully and refer to it as needed.

Allright! I finally have everything sorted out for the shoppes in Ultima V. There are 8 types of shoppes and they are scattered all throughout Britannia. The most shoppes in a single towne is 5.

Here is the list shoppes and their quantities:

9 - Armouries (Weapons, Armor, Helmuts, Shields, etc)
6 - Inns (for hotels)
7 - Sanctuaries (for healers)
3 - Stables (for horses)
4 - Shipwrights (for skiffs and frigates)
5 - Magic shoppes (for reagents)
3 - Guilds (for keys, gems, and torches)
9 - Taverns (for food and drink - alcohol)

Most bartenders will offer advice after you purchase something.

Cool... Finally, I can start coding the shoppe talk. :woot:

Yes they are!

And you can buy and sell in the armoury shoppes. %)

That way you can sell some of your combat winnings to increase you gold count. Remember to always look for the best deal.

:laugh:

Nah... no Wal-Marts. But, when you buy and sell you should use the person with the highest intelligence in your party... Intelligence helps you get the best deals.

Wasn't that highly exasperated in Ultima VII? (as in, more prodominate?) But I don't think I've ever seen it in a Calc-RPG! w00t (not that there are many Ultima calc RPGs (or good ones anyways... hell, this one pwns them all and it's not even done

))

Yes, it was. I think there was 2 times as many different kinds of shops as well.

Thanks CDI. It has been a lot of fun coding it too!

Ultima Update:

I am still working on implementing the Shoppe talk and buy & sell algorithms. This will take a while. It is proving to be very tedious work. But, I do have all of the shop tables and the talking scripts in the code. Now, I just have to make them work.

sound nice, but why shoppe instead of shop or store?

I believe that is the old way of spelling it, or maybe the old English way... (From Europe)

I believe you are correct Tifreak. Ultima V has alot of Old English dialogue.

So, ye better brush up on thee ol' English skills matey. Tis an essential part of thee game. Harumph!

Lol Ranman

. Sounds great, and coding the shoppes does prove to be tedious work but always pays off!
