Briefing : The castle has been invaded by an evil being with the
name of Dr. Death. This baddies arrival brought all kinds of terrible beings
that I don't particularly like to deal with. Dr Death has caused considerable
damage and loss of life at the castle, so he must be elliminated before he moves
on to someplace else like Dayport.

In all of this kaos there was one survivor, the one and only Jenivere. She needs
to be taken away from the castle to a safe place. I'm sure Basso will be very
appreciative, and he'll owe me big time for saving the love of his life.

The castle hasn't had much time to recover since the last time I was here, but there
should be some loot here and there. The best place to look will be on the guards
themselves since they need to be paid before any new trinkets are bought.

Short background of Beaumaris: Beaumaris Castle is located in Beaumaris, Anglesey, North
Wales. It was built by King Edward I in 1295. Actually it was built by 2600 men hired by
the King. This castle is one of the most complete castles still standing, however it was
never actually completed. I've never been to Wales to see the castle, so the FM you are
about to play is my version of Beaumaris and is highly unlikely to be accurate.

I was inspired to build a Welsh castle when I was listening to a Charlotte Church cd. I
chose this castle because I was able to find good photos and a map of the castle on
the internet.

The polys are very high in certain places and will crash the game if you wander
to the tops of the hills. Please don't go up the hills. There is nothing to find
there anyway. I reached object and ambient limits, so it may look sparse in some areas.

The Normal difficulty setting has some objects removed to make framerate faster on
slower PC's as well as easier gameplay. The Hard and Expert settings have more
guards and access is a little bit more limited. The loot total and objetives are
the same for all difficulty settings.
