-==== Crossfire 0.92.6 ====+Packaged as part of SuSE 5.3. 
 + 
 +Packaged as part of Suse 6.2. Package name is "​crosfire"​. Reports version of 0.93.5, Release 68. Build date is July 22, 1999. Source RPM is crosfire-0.93.5-68.src.rpm. 
 + 
 +The manpage may be out of date, as it reports version 0.93.1. 
 + 
 +This version has network support, but by default launches a gui window directly. Commandline flags can be used to control server behavior, notably "​-server"​. 
 + 
 +This version defaults to using XBM monochrome graphics, with colored tint. In XBM mode, only one image can render on a tile at a time, since there is no transparency. using the commandline flag "​-xpm"​ will make it use color XPM graphics, though it may be slow to load (takes several seconds on a 66mhz CPU) 
 + 
 +A few gameplay notes: 
 + 
 +  * This version does not appear to have pupland at all. The dragon area of Scorn'​s port has no usable dragons. 
 +  * Scorn is missing the Street of the Gods, instead a few temples are sprinkled around the city. Goth's tavern is in the Port area. What would become the Scorn palace is a closed stronghold. 
 +  * Food consumption must be managed, as it will easily kill you if you go AFK. 
 +  * While there are individual skills, they are grouped into "​experience categories"​ for accruing levels. For example, gaining a level in "​physique"​ will affect melee weapons, missile weapons, and throwing. Other categories include "​agility"​ (disarm traps), "​personality"​ (oratory), "​mental"​ (find traps, literacy), and "​misc."​ (use magic item). 
 +  * Races and classes are not really separated. When creating a character, you can choose things like warrior, human, fireborn, mage, etc. 
 +  * Different weapons do have different attack speed, but they don't state the speed when exmaining the weapon. Still, it's usually more efficient to have a harder hitting weapon, even if it's a bit slower. 
 +  * At Str 20, the player begins to lose speed while holding about 300kg of items. 
 +  * Shops do not specialize, you can sell your loot anywhere. 
 +  * Altars, even those in churches that should be associated with a specific deity, have been assigned another deity seemingly at random. It's not clear if this is a bug in this release, or in the build tested (Suse 6.2) 
 +  * Darcap is on its own small continent, called "Dtabb land", along with the fire volcano and some other maps 
 +  * Wolfsburg and its tropical island is accessible from Scorn by ship 
 +  * Since there is no permanent exp, dying repeatedly can be very punishing, especially if you cannot afford or find potions of restoration (now called potions of life)
