this is better than skyrim

Playing this recently I remembered working on a Quake Wars mod that was sort of inspired by this game. The mod was called Brace. You wouldn't really be able to tell, but it had the same incredibly bleak and desperate feeling as this.

Plus I had mentioned this game to the guy who worked on the mod and he confirmed it.

Damn, this series is priceless.

@woo2fly18 congraz, nice to know people are still playing this :)

And holy shit, you took our three (3) wyverns while only at Castle level 5!!!

I used to think that wyverns had a fast heal, so unless I could spam it with 4-5 meteors (Castle level 6-7), I just turned on Shield and lured the wyvern away from my Castle

[einokeino303]

@toysoldierfun Taking few wyverns down at the beginning makes the rest of the level so much easier because of the huge mana boost. It's much easier near the castle when you can regenerate casting power faster and the castle works as a shield. The maximum you can take out in the beginning at one time is three if you can kill the third real fast. When there are more you take damage too fast to keep rebuilding the castle. I don't think the monsters will heal, might be wrong though.

[toysoldierfun]

Yeah this level is quite a test of endurance, as a volcano will spring up near your castle every now and then when you least expect. I think it took me an hour and a dozen pauses (bathroom breaks) to beat this level.

Some guide I was reading said there were wyverns and dragons, I've played the game but I can't figure out what the difference is. What exactly are dragons in Magic Carpet?  Surely not the flying worms?

[einokeino303]

@PikminWarrior Wyverns are those flying things and the crawling segmented things are worms. The sequel MC 2 Netherworlds had bouncing worms which are called dragons. You can browse all monster types if you google for pdf manuals.

@einokeino303

Oh so those ARE the flying/bouncing worms, they're in MC1 as well. Odd to call them dragons, though.

Thanks.

[einokeino303]

@PikminWarrior Whoops...so they were in the first game as well. Been almost two years since I last played this and my memory isn't exactly what it used to be ;-)

[JoshuYT]

Whoa is this from the GOG.com version of the game? Looks nice!

[ronin165]

33...isn't that the level that you have to work your way through a tunnel of walls you can't destroy, and they hit you with a Wyvern when all you have is fireball? I don't think I ever got past that back in the day.

[einokeino303]

@ronin165 Yes, that's an annoying level. I have a video for that one also.

[NoMatterHowFar]

long long time ago this game..

now its your 2nd comment in 1 week. hope i made ur day again :]

[MawBTS]

Wyverns are very annoying. The only things worse are the Hydras from the second game.

[einokeino303]

@MawBTS omg, a year since after uploading I get the first comment for this level! This made my day :D

I agree about wyverns which are actually the only real challenge in the first game except for few levels (for example. 33 & 43) where you can't build a castle at the beginning.
