It is from the same developer as smugglers 3 and 4 and tv manager 2.
Just after smugglers 3, niels baur released a game called empires and
dungeons. This was a mix of rpg and stratogy. you were a lord owning a
castle and had to defeat several other computer controlled lords by
conquering towns, fighting the other lords armies and eventually taking
their castle.
also though, the game had rpg elements. you had a character who levelled up,
could explore dungeons and have adventures, and (as you'll gather from the
post), find magic weapons.
the first empires and dungeons game was sadly not accessible at all, due to
on screen graphics and other things a screen reader couldn't deal with
(unlike in smugglers 3).
However, after including the compatibility mode in S4 to make the game
playable with a screen reader, hopefully a similar mode will be included in
E&D 2, the sequal to the first game which is being developed at the moment
and which this message was about.
Hope this explains things.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Darren.
the answer is hopefully, and yes, people are working with him, including
myself.
However, sinse the access features in tv manager two haven't made the game
popular in the Vi community, I think Niels would appreciate some
enthusiasm from vi gamers about the game.
so, i urge anyone who would be interested in the game to go and post
comments on the Niels bauer games blog and let him know that yes, were he
to include access features we would be interested in this style of game.
Beware the Grue!

**** Empires & Dungeons 2 - News!
Empires & Dungeons 2 is the upcoming addictive fantasy strategy and
roleplaying game mix, where you have to build a castle, hire an army and
crawl cursed dungeons.
There is a discussion going on in my blog about item management and
whether
weapons should be "breakable" in combat or not. It would be interesting
to
get your opinion! You do not need to register to post a reply in the

This is my first blatant attempt to empty your purse (one more to come
