Read this only if you're REALLY stumped, or have "played the game out," and are looking for things to do. I. AIR COMBAT MANEUVERING (ACM) (including air-to-sea tactics) Tip 1: To register a kill, try to shoot when the Zero is still relatively small. There is a bug, such that even if one's immediately behind a Zero, pouring one's guns into him, he won't die. In real life, a Zero would be torn to shreds in a similar situation. So you do want to be behind him, but not TOO close (having the airplane fill the screen is too close; having it span the cross-hairs is probably about right). Head-on attacks or side attacks are more successful/damaging, when up- close. Usually, though, he's shooting at you at the same time, so it's not a good idea to make a habit of this. Tip 2: When dog-fighting, always try to get behind the Zeros. Try not to let them get behind you. Tip 3: When dog-fighting, it is usually better to come in low, a little off to the side, and start turning BEFORE the enemy fighter flies past you. Put the flaps in the up position so you can turn faster, and if you're about to crash, use your rudders to pull you up without having to roll out (actually, this rudder technique works for all turns). If you do this, you come up behind the enemy, relatively close, and you just have to shoot at him until he gets hit. Make sure you don't go too fast and fly past him (or worse, crash into him if you're not careful). Tip 4: A technique to use when dog-fighting is a "skidding turn." In World War II, a consistent trait of American aces was their wi…

JOURNAL OF SIERNAN Darkness has descended upon Parthoris again. I fear that this time there shall be no one to lift the damp veil that has blanketed my beautiful homeland. The plague struck quickly, and it was not until too many were infected that anyone took notice of the creeping death. Now, city streets are filled with the noxious green plague vapors that cause insanity and then death to any that are unfortunate enough to inhale it. Most are warped and twisted into a blood-crazed rage that drives them to assault nearly any that they encounter. My people have fared better than the Sidhe, but even those noble beings have regressed into mindless barbarism. Perhaps I will be able to find some means to cure this terrible nemesis that has befallen my homeland. If not, I fear all will be lost. 2 CONTENTS Excerpts from the Chronicles of Parthoris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 The Heretic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 The Outer Worlds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 A Way Home . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 The Atlas of Parthoris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 The Sidhe People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 The Ssithra People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .11 The T’Chekrik People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12 The Ogles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 The Caurthorians . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Of Legend and Seraph . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 Natural Inhabitants . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 Addendum by Siernan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 Book of Spells . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Offensive Magic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Defensive Magic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20 Weapons of War . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .21 The Sidhe Shrines to the Seraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .22 Minimum System Requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .24 Install Directions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .24 Quick Start Game Play . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .…
