The quality of items available appears to correlate with experience points gained, so don't expect to find that crystal longsword (+25 damage, +20 fire damage) after defeating only a few quests. The shop is also the place to go for all of your magic spells and items.
#RAGE OF MAGES 2 FILEDROP UPGRADE#
The training is a quick but potentially expensive way to upgrade the skills of your character, as well as any characters that have permanently joined your party. Here you may obtain mercenaries, quests, items, and training.

Once you have defeated a particular quest and choose to retire from the map, you are brought back to the main town of Plagat.


My guess is that there is not a weight limit for carried objects. In addition, either the strength of my Warrior was on par with Atlas, or twenty suits of plate armor does not make a heavy load. However, in my case there was a certain feeling of loss associated with never seeing the glittering treasure that was my spoils. The loot bag is sized in direct proportion to the quantity or quality of the items found within, which I found to be a nice touch. Don't worry though - despite your generous rate of regeneration, you will soon run into enemies that can demolish you easily!Īfter killing an enemy who has possessions, a bag of loot appears next to the deceased's decaying carcass. Fortunately, even if you take some serious damage during your battle, you will regenerate extremely quickly. Your character will move to the designated location or fight the targeted enemy to the death. The interface is quite easy for a warrior - just point and click. In fact, its gameplay is very similar to Warcraft II, only without resource management or buildings. However, I soon discovered that Rage of Mages' scale is modeled on RTS games, not adventure games. My first impression was that my character was extremely small. Once you have chosen your representative on the Allods, the game begins. You begin by choosing to play a Warrior or Mage of either gender, and then an area of specialization for your character (such as swords for the Warrior or Fire magic for the Mage.) You may also choose to adjust the primary statistics of your character, although I never got the impression that my adjustments were critical to the survival of my character. Rage of Mages is a real-time RPG in which your small party of adventurers faces a multitude of difficult opponents on an isometric battlefield. But beware - both empires have already sent several parties to this particular Allod, and none have returned. Your ultimate quest is to travel via gateway to a neighboring Allod where it is rumored that powerful artifacts and magics exist, which might tip the balance of power in favor of your Allod. The Emperor from your Allod has called upon you to aid in a conflict that has become little more than a bloody stalemate. Each of these pieces is called an Allod, and some of the Allods are currently at odds with each other. Rage of Mages takes place in a shattered world, the pieces of which are sustained through powerful magics. Fortunately, Monolith Productions has brought this RPG to our attention under the name Rage of Mages. While we are busily anticipating such RPG heavies as Fallout 2, Return to Krondor, and Baldur's Gate, it's easy enough to overlook a Russian import called Allods, by Nival Entertainment.
