Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds





Additional Information and Corrections: Here's a link to the Magic Carpet 2 page on GOG if you want to buy a digital download of this game: http://www.gog.com/game/magic_carpet_2_the_netherworlds





Also, for those of you interested in Godus, the game I mentioned Peter Molyneux is working on, you can find out more information about it here: http://www.22cans.com





One thing to keep in mind about the Fire and Lightning castles is that you can upgrade your castle with the regular castle spell without affecting any fire or lightning towers that are already present! However, this only really helps when going from an even-numbered castle level to an odd-numbered one, otherwise the old towers end up away from the new castle boundaries and won't be as useful against monsters.





I don't actually know how to pronounce "Cymmerian" so I may've gotten it wrong. :P





There's five secret levels in the game, each of which provide new spells or lots of scrolls for levelling up your powers. To reach them, you simply need to go above and beyond the call of duty in specific levels. Again though, when you enter one of these places, the game instantly takes you there, so it's best to quit the level and save on the world map screen before actually attempting it, just in case the game feels like crashing. >_>;
