-Turgon's Castle-

When you are given the option of either trading in your weapon or armour
for another one, do not trade up for a better weapon/armour!!! This will
only make you weaker!!! You are given the weapon/armour, but not the
strength/defense associated with it. Trade in for a weaker weapon or armour
if possible. That way, when you sell your weapon/armour for a better one,
you will not lose as much strength/defense. This'll make more sense once
you start doing it. You can rack up tons of strength and defense this way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Underground, The-

Enter with at least 1 gold. Go to the gambling area, and wager a
-2,000,000,000 gold(or any amount you want, for the rest of this trick, -20
million would be a good amount). When asked to pick a number between 1 and
ten, pick "11". You'll lose. Continue for the rest of your turns. With the
money you just earned, enter the Wizard's area. Buy your strength
/defense/hit points/whatever else you want here. DO NOT ENTER with more
then 20-30 million gold. It will FORCE you to buy negative amounts of
hitpoints/strength/defense etc, because of the high numbers it has to work
with. Go in with 20 millin gold at a time, and repeat as needed. Remember
to keep an eye on your stats. Do not have more then 32,767 of any one item
(except for experience and gold) or else, it'll give you a negative
value!!! While here, you may also make your name blink or invisible. Pick
for a name change. Enter a "`b" before your name to make it blink, or
simply a color code to make it invisible. You will also be unattackable
when your name is just a color code, but nobody will be able to write you
mail either.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Village Of The Phoenix, The-

On older versions, there's a way to get an instant 2 billion gold. Go to
the innkeeper, and give him a tip of "-2000000000" or so. Also, if you type
in "PHOENIX SENT ME" on the table, it'll take you to a gambling room. (This
trick is case sensitive and spelling does count!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Warrior's Graveyard-

This really isn't that big of a deal...but if it's the only IGM in the
realm, it's still an advantage. If you buy your lemonade, you will notice
that you can't buy it again...but if you leave and come back, it will let
you!...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Weapons Of War-

Before killing the dragon stash everything into this IGM, it will all be
there waiting for you when you restart. You can get tons of gems in this
IGM as well. Go to the bank, and pick the option to sell your gems. You
have to have at least 1 gem on hand to make this work. ...i.e., you can
sell -32000 gems...and get 32,000 gems...of course, your money on hand will
go into the negatives, but that can easily be fixed by going to the LORD
bank and leaving. Try selling other things, it may work, it may not. .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Xenon's Town Square-

You can get tons of free gold/gems in this IGM. Go to the bank in this IGM,
then deposit a negative amount of gems/money. This works great in LORD
v3.50+ cuz you can trade them in all at one time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***NOTE*** According to Robert Weeks - Good Times Unlimited - Oakville,
Ontario This has been fixed, and the negative cheats no longer work. I have
yet to see this version but I trust Robert and will make this announcement
on his word. The latest file name is XEN17IGM.ZIP. He says he has had it up
and running on his BBS for some time and it appears cheat free. Robert
says, "Although I have had it lock out 1 user for some reason that I have
yet to figure out it is only A temporary thing that self corrects. It may
be a conflict with another IGM on the system". So beware of that.

***NOTE FROM NAPALM RUNNER*** Before you start to think that you can be all
powerful, I need to caution you to the amount of stuff you can have before
it puts your stats into the negative. The highest amount of gold on hand or
in the bank, and experience you can have is just barely over 2.147 billion
gold...this really doesn't matter as much...it's rare, if possible to get
negative experience points...but if you get a negative amount of gold, go
to the bank and leave without any transactions...if the negative amount was
on hand, you will get 100 gold. I know that stinks, but the price for
getting greedy is high. The amount in the bank will go to 200,000,000
...the highest amount of strength, defense, hit points, gems, children, and
charms is 32,767 ...so keep track of these stats carefully... You can see a
trend in these tricks, the use of negative numbers. With new IGM's, the
first thing to do is look for a place where you can use negative numbers.

A Word from me, Kiteria I've tried to keep my personal opinion out of this
file, those that know me know that I do not like the IGM's that off set the
game to the point that it is no longer fun. Hence this file, please share
it with your friends, all the BBS's you call and anyone and everyone else.
I do ask that when you quote any of this file, that you give the author due
credit and that NONE of this file be altered in any way. Let's give this
wonderful game back to everyone, not just a chosen few. For more hints tips
and information about the game and the IGM's read the FIDO LORD Door Game
Discussion ECHO, it will help you to be a more informed player.
