RELEASE NOTES

Foresia, the northern part of the moveresisch continent, was once a
fruitful province, which was devastated by an outbreak of uncontrolled
magic. Since then, this area is only called the forbidden country.

According to rumors sayful wealth and magic monsters can still be found
in this country. Therefore adventurers unite again and again and unite
special abilities with their swords, and prepare for the unknown
quantities of monsters and to discover the secrets of Foresia.

The game exclusively takes place in a complex animated 3D-Polygon-
Environment (i.e. the play figures as well as the entire environment are
represented by 3D-Polygone) and in real time. The characters are
created by the players themselves. For this eight different types of play
figures are available as both male and female : Dwarf, Fee, Elf, Wizard,
Priests, Forest Runners, Thief and Fighter. Each character has its own
specific strengths and weaknesses, for example handling spells is the
domain of the priest, but the priest his fight abilities are not very
good.

Each of the four characters can be controlled either by a fellow player
or - in the single player mode - by the computer. It is possible to begin
a game in the single player mode and at a later point up to three fellow
players can enter. In the single player mode the player can select
himself at any time which of the four characters he wants to control.
Apart from the first function, the remaining play runs nonlinearly. Also
areas already played can be entered at any time for collecting useful
articles and points of experience. Additionally it is possible for the
players, to exchange equipment.
