New Version, special easter edition .

Hack and Slash Version 0.53e (Easter edition)

from the readme:

• changed: using new improved grass and tree bitmaps (thanks to David E. Gervais)
• reduced chances for monsters to drop items (keys and potions)
• reduced the use of 'Rage' and 'Enchant' spells for monsters
• raised level requirements for '+x to skill levels' as an item modifier and added more benchmarks
• changed the order of suffixes for '+ to strength' items. Cave giant is now weakest and storm giant strongest.
• made new room for the Orc King and tweaked both the king and his guards
• replaced the sound from 'rage' with the sound form 'berserk'. much cooler and the orc berserkers get to shout 'Kill Kill KILL!! again (and sound less like Donald Sutherland in the 'Body Snatchers') =)
• added more ammo for slings (one new .bmp and pebbles (old misc13) was changed to be used as sling ammo)
• added new L1_hills.bmp to match the new grass (thanks to David)
• added more...umm... stuff. Happy Easter

Note about Classes and Experience
=================================
This module uses a tweaked class.txt file, but still keeps the 'default' label so exsisting charcters from, say, Crown of the Magis can be imported. The changes are:
1) altered XP levels (levels 1-9 are more expensive, levels 11 and above are cheaper)
2) Druids and Priests can now use Slings
3) Fighters can use Bows/Crossbows
If you do not like these changes, feel free to delete the classes.txt file in the Dungeon Odyssey\Modules\Hack and Slash\Data folder. You can then play with the default settings.

Have fun,
Rollo
