![]() ![]() DOS was the Yin who had fewer problems but had the nastiest of the faults.īoth games had a system where the elements of your classes were divided into weapons, armor, steal and disarm, black magic and white magic, the game rotated the usefulness of each discipline, and so by the end game weapons and armor disciplines were useless since every class could use the best weapons and armors in the game! Steal and disarm was useless in the end game also. NES was the yang where most of the problems occurred however it had a few critical good things about it that saved it from being a train wreck.ĭos version- enemies drop loot, ships had cannons, armor actually reduced your damage, Hospitals could heal you, you only had one condition to worry about(poison), you could actually bribe guards and they would leave, two main problems though which ruined it, Lord British didn't revive you if you died, and If you were wiped out game over your game would auto save after every character died, so it was essentially hardcore mode, you could revive a dead ally, but it cost you nine hundred to have a guarantee revival, and two hundred to heal your party members, 1100 gold in other words, and finally DOS version featured that your entire party occupied the same square so you could avoid monsters easier. ![]() NES version- Ships lost their cannons, They added a new status condition that was almost impossible to treat(cold), nearly every treasure chest was booby trapped with either poison(which did more damage) or the common cold difficult to treat), and while you could resurrect by lord British if you got wiped, Lord British would revive you with only a few HP, and hospitals lost their restore HP option, so you ended up resetting anyway unless you were level 2 or below, while you could save the game you were only given two areas in the entire game to save your progress,Īrmor didn't help much, and in fact some types of armor didn't work at all, mobs couldn't drop loot, and running around the map with a party of 4 meant that you were attacked more often, and stealing brought out the teleporting RED Guards who were the toughest enemies in the game next to Lord British(provided that you were stupid enough to attack him), and the floor! magic was thankfully easier to use. You can grab the Ultima 3 Upgrade download either from Voyager’s profile on BitBucket, or from the project’s entry here at the Codex.Ultima III that game whether you picked the NES port or the DOS version both had their problems. Please do not use u3reset any longer, as it does not work with Sosaria Mod. In addition to Sosaria Mod, v3.3 also includes the Start a New Game feature accessible from the in-game bootup menu, replacing the u3reset tool. Theoretically, others could follow this pattern to contribute game world mods if they were so included. ULTIMA3.MOD includes all of the game data tables associated with the original game world, while SOSARIA.MOD is of course for Sosaria Mod. Some mod-specific events, like the appearance of Dawn, were highly custom and had to be rewritten so that it could appear in a different location by mod. This includes the names of map files as well as the location of the towns, dungeons, moongates, exotics, etc and the inclusion of some logic to support and return the data to the game. In order to achieve this (for those who are interested in the details) I had to break out several data tables into external mod files. This enhancement allows you to play Ultima III on the Lands of Lord British map from Ultima I. ![]() Release 3.3 includes a few new features, the largest of which is the inclusion of Sosaria Mod. This is quite a significant update, and it implements a new modification for that game that was first teased a couple of years ago: ![]() Voyager Dragon has released version 3.3 of The Exodus Project’s Ultima 3 Upgrade.
