Man, Strife is tough.  I haven't even got by the first level yet after 2 days.  Talk about convuluted.

Do you mean accolytes come from the castle and kill you?

 I mean more that there is so much to do and alot of traveling back to places later.  It is so massive and confusing.  It is a challenge now.

Yep, access to most parts of the game is from town, so you will return there a lots.

When I started playing Strife back in '98 or so when I got hold of it, I was first so frustrated with the complexity and the many false starts that I gave up for a tine and went back playing DOOM. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Then later on I got better in it, and played it a lot, because once you know what traps you must avoid to be able to proceed, it's a fun game - I finished it even on nightmare skill level back in '99 or so, though one of the devteam members said in a forum that it's simply not possible. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

When I first played the game I was like "man this game sucks!".<br>I just walked around, set off the alarms and caused the Troops to kill me that way.<br><br>A few weeks later I played it again, ran into the guy I simply skipped before who gives you the mission to kill the traitor and well, thats how it all started.<br>Since then I dont want to miss the game anymore, in my opinion its one of the most underrated games ever and would surely kick some serious ass with a modern 3d engine! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

A few years ago I looked for a walkthrough but could not find one. So I wrote one from scratch (available at dlh.net; probably unfortunately for you, in german), and tried hard to find out most do's and don'ts I realised. But I'm still searching for other sources. Today I found one at Cheat Quest. Does anyone know of other walkthroughs?

Indeed, this one I forgot - nice to see that there is some kind of "site backup"!

There are a couple of walkthroughs for Strife available at GameFAQs: <br>http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/3292.html

Strife's a cakewalk and a nice game.<br><br>Until I got stuck into the sewers, of course
