Starting the Game

After installation you will have three icons on your Desktop (or create short cuts to them).

Solo Game

To begin playing the solo game simply click on the Shattered Light Icon and then choose solo

game. You will go to choose or create your hero screen and begin playing. Select a hero and

then click on the “start” button.

Hosting a Multi-player Game

The Host has special abilities to change other heroes, their map set is used, and their computer

acts as the server for the other players sending out all maps and results.

1. To begin hosting a multi-player game click on the Shattered Light Internet Server icon.

2. Then hit start to open the Options Screen.

3. Make any changes in the game you are hosting as offered on the Options Screen.

4. Hit Start

5. Select whether you wish to register the game at Catware.com. Yes or No Hit Start and you

are ready to host the game. To play in the game you simply join like any player.

Joining a Multi-player Game

1. Click on the Shattered Light Icon to begin playing (same Icon as the solo game).

2. Choose multi-player game.

3. Choose an IP address (their Internet address, these are listed if you go through the

Catware.com service site.) at the bottom of the form or enter the server address of the host if

new. (This stores up to 10 IP addresses).

Note there is a five second time out if the game is unable to find the host listed. After this

period you will be asked to try again or select a new host’s IP address.

You begin play by teleprompting into the Great Square of the City of Terris. South of the square

is the Bazaar where you can equip. Like all of Terris City, except the Amphitheater (City10),

another player or a monster cannot harm you.

Training Bonus

The hero is assumed to have completed a rigorous training and apprenticeship. To reflect this and

to allow for individualized heroes, each new hero has twelve bonus points to spend adding from

1 to 5 points to their statistics or from 5 to 25 points to a skill. These will often more than double

the starting value of a key stat for a hero. To access and add these points, open the Statistics

Screen from the Control Bar and click on the plus. For details on the bonus points see “Bonus

Points” further in the manual.
