| This is v1.2 release of Ultima V: Lazarus. Note: You must have the original Dungeon Siege installed in order to install and play Ultima V: Lazarus. An excerpt from the readme: Thanks for downloading Ultima V: Lazarus! Ultima V: Lazarus is a from-the-ground-up remake of the gaming classic, Ultima V. Built on the Dungeon Siege engine, it greatly improves the graphics and sound from the PC version of Ultima V. In addition, it expands upon the world, characters, and story presented in the original game. This is the FINAL RELEASE from Team Lazarus. No further changes will be made. However, players are welcome to make changes themselves. Development work will also continue for Project Britannia (http://www.projectbritannia.com) and Ultima 6: Archon (http://www.u6archon.com). A special "Lazarus Modders Pack" will also be available from our website shortly for those of you who would like to make your own mods for the game. IMPORTANT CHANGES FROM 1.1a ============================= There have been hundreds of changes made since the 1.1a release, too many to list here. Here are some of the more important ones: - If you have a previous version of Lazarus installed, you MUST remove it entirely from your hard drive! Delete any old savegames (located in your My Documents folder under Windows), completely uninstall Lazarus, and also manually delete the Lazarus install folder (C:Lazarus, by default) before attempting to install or play 1.20. - The Blink spell is no longer included with the base game due to compatibility issues with the game world. An optional (but unsupported) Blink patch is included with this release. - The locations of some important items have changed. Those who played the previous version of the game will have to discover the new locations. - Combat has been adjusted to be generally more difficult, but more balanced. - You can now use the Difficulty slider in the Options menu to adjust combat difficulty. - Characters and quests which were broken in 1.1a have been fixed. Others have been altered or improved. - Items that are "owned" by people within the game world are now marked as such. Remember, stealing is not looked upon kindly in Britannia! |
