I've just read the 'Lander' post and the last contributor was called Iron Lord..
..I recognised the emblem / logo they had used and suddenly the memories (good and bad) came flooding back.
I can’t quite contain myself..
Why bad? I hear you cry.. Well because the game used to reduce me to near tears. I would play it for hours and feel like I was getting so so far through it until.. … ….
... .... The ASSASSIN!!!!
Please; did anybody work out how to sword fight??
Archery yes (favourite), arm-wrestling yes, assassin / sword fighting no.
The greatest problem to overcome as I remember, was that it used to take so long to get to the point in the game where an assassin would appear, that one could never realistically practice. I don’t even think that I could get the sword to do anything.
If somebody gave me the answer I would actually start playing this again! Unfinished business and all!!
Help!
Cheers.

Actually, the message poster was called filecore, but yes, I do maintain a (in fact, the only) Iron Lord site for RISC OS. You can find information on swordfighting and other things, as well as a whole bunch of maps and downloads, on my Iron Lord pages:
http://ironlord.acornarcade.com
(You'll find a post on swordfighting in the FAQ but watch out, because the links don't work. You'll have to scroll down manually. I really should get round to fixing that sometime.)

Quite the oversight.. tunnel vision I suppose.
'filecore', many many thanks, you're a legend! |

The thing that annoyed me about the game was the running around at the end in a maze with a tiny view and not possibly having enough energy to complete all of them except by luck (at least I never did; perhaps if you carefully mapped them all it would be). It was a rather tedious and out of character end to an interesting game. |

It was a rather tedious and out of character end to an interesting game. Yes, it was a bit. However, there's the infinite energy tweak you can apply. I do believe, though, that it is possible in normal mode. Incidentally, there are maps for all six levels of the maze on my site. I'll be redesigning that soon if I get bored enough.

It's doable if you've got a map (I've done it), so you don't waste energy on pointless searching. I very much doubt it's even possible at all on the first time you play the game, without a map, without luckily going straight to the right place every time, which is bad game design because it relies on you already knowing what's there. |

Well if it makes you feel any better, I've redesigned the site in CSS (and JS). |

I've just killed my first assassin, GET IN!!! Get used to it. You have to kill a whole bunch of assassins until... do you really want a spoiler?
SPOILER BELOW!
...you get the assassins after you visit the Templars (in the chapel) - it's kind of a test, see? Once you hack and slash your way through assassins, back to the Templars again, they'll be happy with your fighting skills and the assassins will stop. Easy. |
