I will try to answer some of the questions I have seen so far and
offer some tips. Also have some questions of my own.

BTW not meaning to step on anyones toes but the reply on how to get
into new city by attacking the guards is not the best way to do it. I
will tell you how it was meant to be done (or so I believe) below.



Spoilers Follow:
















To get into new city go into the dungeon first. There you find a
parchment that has the hint that you need to get the guard to let you
in "peacefully".

Orkogre Castle is a pain. You originally find two keys. And I hope you
got the polished shield and combs. They are really neeeded to go any
further. Search at Murkatos chamber and you will get a hint that
should make you go further. 

The gorilla has the "key" to getting into the throne room. What do
monkees like? You will find that in the prison area.

Take good notes when you talk to people. I forgot to write down what I
was told to tell the Gorn King. Oh well. Will figure it out I hope.

To get truce to work you need Diplomacy. Your priest or Lord has this
skill. Have had one guy attack me when trying to make truce. And he
killed me so I wasn't too worried about it.

You will need swimming fairly quickly. Around 10 points in this skill
will let you swim one square. You need to be able to swim two squares
soon.

The map. The one disapointing thing in this game. Not only is it
cumbersome to use but at first it is total garbage. When your map
skill gets higher more things will show up on it. But it is still the
same size and you can still only see a square as you go over it. They
should have worked more on this.

In my opinion I think this game is better than MM4. But then I have
been a fan of both games from day one and will play and finish both.

Now for some questions of my own.....

A lever and button in the prison area of Orkogre. What do they do?
Still some doors I can't open.

What do you do in the Man O' Grove city? Found a nice chest there but
is there anything else? 

Did anyone figure out the spindle puzzle in the holy city? I got it to
work but a friend did it too and it did not work like it did for me.
Did anyone find anything of value in the dungeon below this area?

Did anyone figure out the coins you find at the statue in Holy City?
Tried putting them in the urns at the 4 gazebos but they just went
back to where I found them.

Should you become a scout for the Umpani? Did you find the spies if
you did?

What do you do at the witches enclave? I kept getting lost here.
Turned back and went back to Orkogre to try and finish it.

As you get to each city and go through to the othe side the monsters
get very hard. This game is hard and worth the money. Hope you find it
as enjoyable as I am.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions email me and I will try to
help.
