Codex April update

21st April 2011 by Dino

The Codex of Ultima Wisdom is always accumulating more information. Aside from hitting the half-million mark in page views, and changing its logo (above), the following is a summary of what's new:

Tribun Dragon writes: We have been very busy at the Codex of Ultima Wisdom. So busy, that we have to seperate the news into three areas. We have managed to close many gaps and are now very close to really becoming the ultimate (note the pun) database for the series.

Yet work still is plenty to be done.

• We now have a complete overview of the Monster Data of Ultima VI, VII, VII/2, VIII and IX. A number of them with the fitting monster sprites.
• A detailed walkthrough for what to do in the Underworld in Ultima V, complete with maps.
• Numerous new walkthroughs were added.
• An article for the Ginwoo, the propably most useless weapon in the series, was added.
