INSTRUCTIONS

Working from the Phantasie v2.0 version, I added a lot of shortcut keyboard
commands that were missing from the game (relying on the mouse caused
excessively slow gameplay, and even some misclicks.

I've done extensive tests and fixes (adding keypresses added new bugs) and now
it's ready.
I've finished the game from start to finish with that version, Using Steem 3.2
and TOS1.02UK.

Interface Changes :

* In menus with you needing to select a party member, number keys 1-6 will
select that party member.
* In most menus, pressing ESC will trigger the "EXIT" and get out of said menu,
ENTER will usually be "Okay" or "O.K." or whatever the "I get it" button is.
* Also in most menu, "C" act as Cancel, "X" for Exit, Y/N for Yes or No, etc.
Usually the first letter of the word.
* If you have arrows in the menu (say when browsing the roster, the armoury or
checking available spells to learn) up/down arrow will work.
* Removed the Walking "BEEP" sound that played each move, also removed the ST
keyboard click each time you pressed a key.

Bank/Gold Changes :

* Patched Bank Gold to roll over 65'535. The new cap is 0xFFFFF in
Hexadecimal, or 1'048'575 max.
* The Bank now withdraws instantaneously 60k (or whatever you have, if less),
starting from the richest character.
* When depositing from the bank screen, it automatically deposits equally
between your character, skipping the shares routine.
* Shares routine still fires up if you try to save with gold on hand.
* When assigning shares, you can press keys 1,2 or 3 to assign them.  Box
turns white to confirm selection.
* Maximum share size is now ~2.7 million for XP and ~175k gold, but good luck
filling that pool up before getting back to town.

Other Changes :

* Any Race can be of any class, but I'd be wary of an Ogre/Wizard !
* Max HP limit of 255 was dismissed.  If you have a character of a proper
class and high constitution, you could exceed 255.
* A "Reroll" button was added at the final character creation screen, so you
can quickly reroll if your stats aren't satisfactory.
* Fixed the "Monster spell reduces armour" reducing your offensive power, it
now reduces armor as it should.
* Fixed the Party order re-shuffle that could happen on game reload depending
on where in the roster your party members were saved.
* Fixed item misspelled as "SROLL 19" to the correct "SCROLL 19"
* Fixed the Distribution routine to put Weapons, Armors and Shields first and
sorted descending by power, then key items, scrolls, potions and trash loot.
* There is no longer a constitution loss on Dying.  Everyone just reloaded
their game anyways, so why not.  You still need the Resurrection spell to
bring them back alive.
* Rebalanced mass target spells so the damage on the second and third row,
while still nerfed some, is far more balanced (not overpowered, just better
balanced).
* Rebalanced the lower-level healing potions to heal a bit more to make them
useful. Heal pot 1 thru 5 are now decent and worth carrying around.
* Rebalanced the healing spell so you don't get a "1" with healing 2 thru 4,
it's not overpowered but it helps being a bit more consistent.

NOTE:

* We lost 2 character slot in the Roster for these changes, so maximum
character count in the Roster cannot exceed 20 (plus the 3 elementals).
