Remember that castle in Scorn which went nowhere?




I used someone's initial cut at the castle and built on it.

The main new feature is that several quests based largely on random
maps have been added.

Basically, if you do favors for the King, you get promoted in noble ranks
thusly:

Knight
Baronet
Baron
Marquis
Earl
Count
Duke
Archduke
Prince

So far, quests up through Duke exist.  You must complete the quest
for the previous noble rank to gain the next-higher noble rank.

Nobles higher than Earl may be admitted to see the King and Queen.

There are rewards for completing each quest in addition to rank.

I eventually intend to add further perks for having rank other than
being admitted to see the King and Queen.

Other map designers should feel free to modify the final_map in each
maze, though they shouldn't make them require higher-level chars, just
more cleverness.

The final_maps for each quest is in
/peterm/quests

All this stuff is in the CVS repository at the moment,
and I *highly* recommend getting the latest server snapshot too,
as several crashing-bugs in the random-map code have been repaired.

Have fun,
