1.2 (July 26, 2007)

This was the first EUO release using the Moa Engine. Between April and July, all of the EAO & EUO code was merged into one codebase, called Moa. EUO (the game) was shoehorned into this new engine with as little disruption as possible. Lots of undocumented mods were made to Moa to get it to support EUO's quirks (like Ultima casting and the intro screen).

  • widescreen view
  • edible slimes, brains
  • skull keys
  • press C to cast a spell from a list
  • use the above list to bind spells to letters and ctrl-alt keys
  • to learn spells from tomes use L (shfit el)
  • fighter abilities must be bought and manually bound to the ctrl/alt/shift keys!
  • backstab is now an ability that must be bought and bound - it does not auto-fire simply when hidden!
  • fountains need to be activated with 'a' rather than looked at
  • bash is a purchasable ability (like a spell, and flurry etc)
  • different foodstuffs have different nutrition values (ie feed you better)
  • monsters actually level up and get harder as they gain xp
  • size up shows everything that the player is wearing
  • trapped chests may zap you (cosmetic change)
  • to see your rage instead of your mana press #
  • pet xp sharing - you get some of your pet's xp and your pet gets some of yours
  • shfit-v toggles old lighting on and off

1.1.11 (Apr 19, 2007)

  • craftable wood golems
  • quest journal
  • player made clans
  • AI tweaks (mostly to do with portals)

1.1.10 (Feb 24, 2007)

  • instead of 'a' to select all from scrolling list, press enter
  • uncheesed search for mandrake/nightshade
  • lvl reqs for ench weps upped to min 61 (since +5 is intrinsic)
