*****************************Dark Quest Game Tips****************************


Since tips written in instructions and Dark Quest readme file are a bit
outdated and several people reported that game is too difficult to them 
I desided to wrote this TIPS file.It's a set of tips which show
you what is the best tactic to use.

Main game rule : You NEED to make as many possible kills.Mana is vital
                 for any success in this game.

Main game tactic : Use hero first to kill as many enemies you can.
                   Drain poison spells from magicians,lure them.
                   When you have 3-4 energy units left retreat and send
                   you party.If you are really near to make one or two
                   more kills you can fight until you have 1 or 2 energy 
                   units but then you won't be able to snatch kills later.
                   What do I mean with "snatch kills".When you make your 
                   kills and send your party to finish the level you must 
                   stay on safe distance and try to kill enemies near death.
                   But if you have 1 or 2 energy units left that is very 
                   risky to do.

The best way of using hero : Don't attack enemy warriors one by one.Walk 
                             into a group of them and try to hit more of 
                             them at once.Be AGRESSIVE and FAST.Don't swing 
                             like a sissy.When using bombs or poison fields 
                             inflict more enemies at once.Lure groups of 
                             enemies on small space.

The best way of using a party : Don't send them on magicians which have
                                poison spells.It's the worst thing you can
                                do.When you make an attack with the party
                                try to lead all of your men to the 
                                enemy.Don't leave some of them unused.

Things to know : Almost ALL of magicians have ONE poison spell.When enemy 
                 is following hero if a warrior from you party attacks him
                 enemy will start to attack this warrior not the hero
                 anymore.Have this fact in mind and try to use it in your
                 advantage.

Things you need to do : Make all the kills in level 1 and try not to use
                        the bomb.In level 2 make 5 or 6 kills and use
                        the bomb you have to inflict 3 or more enemy
                        warriors.You should not have any problems in
                        acomplishing that.Sometimes you can make great 
                        scores in level 2 like up to 8 kills!
                        In level 3 use a poison spell between trees close
                        enough to bridge guard so that it inflicts them 
                        too.First lure some enemies from the left.If you do 
                        this good you can make 7 or 8 kills in level 3.This 
                        is enough to finish the game.Even less is neccesary.

Final words : I can finish the game in every attempt.Almost.Sometimes
              you can have bad luck in level 1 but it's easy to restart
              then.What I want to say it that the game is quite easy
              if you play it right and I cannot allow myself to make it
              more easier since then it would become a joke.

Have fun.
