finger OsteoarthritisHi, I was diagnosed with finger osteoarthritis in thumb and in middle joints of my left hand. I have had pain for about 22 years, only when I put my hands on the guitar and play (this is my fretting hand). I have had two carpal tunnel surgeries and on thoracic outlet syndrome, removing the first rib. Was getting a dull ache in chest at the time. My question is, now I am getting a like sharp pain in fingers, with pressure that shoots up, but not all the time. And not down, when I press really hard on the guitar to fret notes in my fingers. It just started to happen and t is on all fingers, ring, pinky, thumb, first and pointer (but could be coming from one finger and I just don't know it. Some days I can play for about 5 minutes and other 10 and some 1 minute with out the dull sharp pain. I happens when I only use the fingers for pressure, like playing the piano, guitar or typing. No driving and no pain i the wrist at all. Is this finger osteoarthritis or tendonitis, or part of the thoracic outlet syndrome. Like I said I have had it for 22 years, (ever since I played the guitar. The symptoms are that of, unable to control the hand at all on the guitar, like grip and moving the fingers fast. Not able to have a lot of pressure and sluggishness greatly in fingers and grip (but not when driving or working with the hands). The sharp shooting pain with pressure. And the pain or shooting seems to go up the arm when only applied pressure. Hope you can help. I am 36 now and like I said I have been suffering for 22 years and cant even play the guitar for about 15 minutes. I don't play a lot anymore, but am starting to get into piano in the future and guitar again, because I just built a studio. So I'd like to play again. Its my passion... Thanks so kindly for taking the time out to help. Lou. T. READ MORE
Without doing an exam it is hard to determine where the primary cause of pain is coming from. However, I will say that based on your history of carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet, your nerves are likely to be very sensitive. Not pinched, because not all pinched nerves hurt.
Many musicians benefit from movement therapy to help improve posture and efficiency of movement.
Better mechanics and better movement might just help you.
Dr. Christina Lasich, MD
I am a physical therapist. It sounds like you have more than just finger arthritis potentially impacting your function. I would recommend seeing a good orthopedic doctor who can help determine the cause of you pain.

Australian Jack Miller is hoping for better weather and more track time on day two of official MotoGP testing at Phillip Island.
Rain limited the Queenslander to just six laps on Wednesday, his first time riding for Marc VDS Racing Team Honda since breaking his leg in a training accident last month.
Not wanting to risk further injury, Miller completed only two short runs on slick tyres in the wet and was restricted in his use of his rear brake.
He finished the day ninth overall, with Ducati's Danilo Petrucci the quickest, but still managed to test a number of new parts.
"Now we just need some better weather and a lot more laps," said the 21-year-old.
"The leg was fine; once I'm on the bike it's really good. Okay, I can't use the rear brake as much as I'd like to but I can work on my riding style to compensate for that."
Testing continues on Thursday and Friday, ahead of a final test in Qatar in March and the season opener in Losail on March 17.

New Delhi, March 21: In a snub to BJP president M. Venkaiah Naidu, key ally and Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu today said it was too early to decide on a pact for the 2004 Lok Sabha elections.
While the BJP announced a formal tie-up with the Trinamul Congress for the panchayat and Parliament elections, Chandrababu appeared cagey and irked with the BJP bid to announce a strategy prematurely.
Venkaiah, who addressed newsmen yesterday to mark the achievements of five years of NDA rule, had said coalition rule was a success and the BJP had started poll discussions with alliance leaders.
We had a detailed discussion with Chandrababu Naidu, he said.
But the Desam chief today indicated otherwise. It is too early to reveal (the strategy) as elections are far away, he said.
Neither confirming nor denying his poll discussions with A.B. Vajpayee and senior BJP leaders, Chandrababu said: It is not the time to speculate, it is also not the time to disclose all these things.
Chandrababu had a meeting with the Prime Minister on February 16, at which deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani, NDA convener George Fernandes and Venkaiah were present. Unlike earlier occasions, Desam parliamentary party leader Yerran Naidu did not accompany Chandrababu.
Sources said the Desam chief told Vajpayee he was not in favour of simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and the Andhra Pradesh Assembly as it would not be advantageous to the NDA.
As he did not want to advance the Assembly elections, he suggested that the parliamentary polls be brought forward. At that time, the BJP leadership, unaware of what was in store in Himachal, did not reject the proposal.
Chandrababu, who came here today to seek drought relief measures, called on the Prime Minister. Advani and Union ministers Sharad Yadav and Shahnawaz Hussein also attended the meeting.
Later, he called on petroleum minister Ram Naik and requested him not to hike LPG prices. I requested them (the central leaders) not to increase LPG prices. This is not the time, Chandrababu said.
The Desam chief said Andhra was reeling under the worst drought in 40 years. He had requested Vajpayee to release 20 lakh MT of foodgrain and financial assistance of Rs 2,374 crore, he added.
The task force on drought headed by the deputy Prime Minister, which met last week, had announced 19.39 lakh tonnes foodgrain as fresh drought relief to over six states, including Andhra which had been given only 3.18 lakh tonnes.
The task force is meeting again on Sunday to go into the issue of fresh drought relief to states, including Andhra and Rajasthan.

GWENT Rainbows, Brownies, and Guides are being encouraged to get involved with this year's Big Lunch.
As part of a national partnership with The Big Lunch, Girlguiding Cymru has vowed to encourage its members in Wales to join in the UK-wide annual get-together.
Girlguiding groups are being challenged to organise a Big Lunch with their local community and work towards achieving their Big Lunch Badge at the same time.
The Big Lunch badge will require members to plan their lunch in detail and talk about the benefits of bringing the community together.
The girls will then design and produce posters, invitations and decorations for their lunch as well as serving food and looking after their guests.
Lesley Matthews, deputy chief commissioner of Girlguiding Cymru said: "Brownie, Rainbow and Guide units are at the heart of the community for young girls across Wales.
"We are really excited to get involved in the Big Lunch this year."
The Big Lunch, which falls on Sunday, June 1, is an initiative from the Eden Project. The idea is that it encourages neighbourhoods and communities across the UK to come together on one day to share a few hours of food, friendship and fun.
The deputy chief commissioner added: "The Big Lunch will be a lovely way for us to open up the doors of our Rainbow, Brownie and Guide units across Wales and reach out to everyone in our wider community network, both old and young.
"I am sure that the events will be the perfect opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and most importantly have a great time".
For anyone interested in getting involved this June, free packs are now available from thebiglunch.com

Unlike RPGs which tend to focus more on an advanced story or plot, these games focus on tactics, battle strategies, and statistical ways of defeating opponents. Games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, and Tactics Ogre bring out the best in players. Battle Hunter is another prime example of a strategy RPG that gives players a different kind of taste. Not only that, but with a cheap price tag, I'm fairly surprised this game hasn't caught on as a popular addition to collections. This FAQ/Walkthrough will cover certain key elements of the game, along with providing basic tips, and a step-by-step procedure on completing the game. Seek out treasures in the depths below, but make sure to preserve your own existence in the long run! Contributing/Feedback ---------------------------- If you have any contributions, feedback, or strategies you'd like to have added to the guide, contact me via e-mail or on GameFAQs. I'll be more than content to add your segment of information, and will also provide credit. If you have any questions you'd like added to the Common Questions section, ask. I simply don't have the time to sit around thinking of questions. Provide me with what you want to know! Updates ---------------------------- =03/10/11= vFinal Final update. =06/17/04= v1.0 Finished the FAQ. Took a lot longer than I expected, but that's thanks to a full-time job. I'm just hoping to be able to produce my guides a tad quicker over the coming days. =06/06/04= v1.0 Started the FAQ. Expecting to finish this one as soon as possible. ============================ - Table of Contents - ============================ 1) Introduction 2) Game Basics > Controls > Character Management > Battle System 3) Walkthrough > 15 Story Mode Missions 4) Strategies/Tips > Player Types > Techniques 5) Codes 6) Common Questions 7) Copyright/Distribution/Reproduction Guidelines 8) Proper Credits -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ============================ - 1) Introduction - ============================ For the most part, strategy RPG games have always seemed to kick off in the right direction. These interesting games combine statistical elements often seen in games like AD&D, however, they add an RPG twist to provide that thrilling sensation to satisfy a gamer's mind. In a sense, they are almost like a hybrid gaming title, satisfying two genres in one. Battle Hunter is a strategy RPG game developed by A1 Games, in an attempt to add spicyness to the Roleplaying market. Titles such as Ogre Battle, and Final Fantasy Tactics have both proven to be huge hits. Players are able to command troops via grid maps, and attack opponents with %'s of accuracy, the possible damage amount, and other events to take into consideration (item bonuses, magic status, etc...). While Battle Hunter is nothing like a top-notch title, it does possess qualities that gamers can look forward to. The storyline is fairly simple. Earth ends up going through a mass nuclear world war, with everything being destroyed to ruin. Years later, civilization is being rebuilt from scratch, without the great technologies we once possessed. Because of the nuclear war, great societies and cities are buried underneath rubble, along with all of the inventions from the pasttime. People call these places "dungeons", because they are infested with deformed creatures, and hostilities that can prove troublesome. An elite group of warriors called Hunters are hired by outside companies to seek out treasures below, and are paid much like a traditional mercenary. Thus, during the game, you will take the role of a Hunter on his/her quest to earn a living, while uncovering a hideous plot along the way. Here's a brief excerpt from the instruction manual (credit to A1 Games): Battle Hunter is a simulation RPG where up to four players can compete simultaneously. Each player takes on the role of a treasure hunter and seeks out that which their client desires. Sometimes the client will also request that a missing person be found and rescued. Once the missions begins, the player's goal is to find the treasure and make it to the EXIT before their rivals do. In each mission, the player is faced with three rivals. If a rival discovers the treasure before the player's character, they must be tracked down and deprived of the treasure before they can make it to the EXIT. Eight item boxes exist on each of the mission stages and these must be discovered in order to acquire the treasure. STORY By the year 2089, mankind had made its way back from near self-extinction. 50 years earlier, the avarice and greed that had become the mantra of the giant corporations lead to the unleashing of biological, nuclear, and chemical weapons of mass destruction. The resulting cataclysm, known as "The Great Destruction," wiped out 75% of humanity and buried many of the greatest scientific achievements created by man under several feet of ash and clay residue. Somehow, mankind survived. The war came at a time when science had reached its pinnacle of development. Many of the inventions remain dormant in the ruins of the old high-tech cities now called "Dungeons" by the surviving humans. No sane person would enter a dungeon - the dangers are far too great. The surviving surface dwellers have built a new nation above the ruins of the past, yet there is much information and technology from the previous age that would assist them in completing their return from desolation. Scientists called "Requestors" hire specialist mercenaries to delve into the dungeons seeking powerful relics to further this goal. Merc's have only two requirements - cash up front and plenty of action! Considering the dungeons are crawling with mutated animals and renegade robots, the action part is always there. Once the Merc returns with a relic, they get a sizeable bonus and are always contacted for the next missions. By the way, these special mercenaries are known as "Hunters" and they are extremely gifted in the art of combat. ---------------------------- _____________________ ##### GAME INFO ##### //////////|\\\\\\\\\\ Players: 1-4 (multitap needed) Developer: A1 Games Released: 2001 Rarity: fairly uncommon Special Features: multitap compatible ESRB: Everyone Cover Art on box: - Shows eight Hunters in battle poses -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ============================ - 2) Game Basics - ============================ The Playstation controller has always been a versatile accessory when it comes to most games. Its symmetric design allows players to control ships during shooting games, action games, or simple RPGs. As a matter of fact, there are TOO many buttons on the controller than actually needed when playing Battle Hunter. ______________ /Game Controls/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Directional buttons - moves cursor in specified direction START - decides lead controller in two or more player game SELECT - changes cursor's color on network screen CIRCLE - cancels selection X - confirms selection, avoids trap TRIANGLE - switches window view - Most of the actions that occur in Battle Hunter will be simple confirmation messages, and menu navigation throughout the game. There is no tedious tile movement, or random battles to worry about. Your actions are taken from a menu up top, which usually consists of Moving, Attacking, Resting, or Checking on your status. Start and Select come into primary use during multiplayer games, so you'll hardly be worrying about them. If you step on a trap, and the two exclamation marks appear over your head, you can attempt to tap X quickly. If you tap it quick enough, this will increase your chance of avoiding that trap. _____________________ /Character Management/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Before you can leap into the action, it's essential to understand how to manage a character or Hunter through the game. Your character's starting status, along with side item abilities will decide how powerful he/she may be throughout the game. Creating a well-balanced category, while specializing in one stat will help in the long run. This section will describe how to start out in the game, along with tips for managing a character. ______________ #__: STARTING OUT :__# - Before you can start seeking out lost treasures in the dungeons, it's necessary to create your own character. Select the "Registration" icon, and type out his/her name. You will then be given the choice to assign how your character will appear. There are 8 different sprites (four men, four woman), along with 8 different color schemes for each sprite. That gives a total of 64 possible different combinations. Once that's done, you'll then be brought to the skill selection screen. There are four primary stats that your characters will have, and points must be balanced efficiently for the best possible character. ____________________________________________________________ | MV >> Moving - Every 3 points added gives +1 to movement | | AT >> Attack - Every 1 point increase gives +1 to attack | | DF >> Defense - Every 2 point increase gives +1 to defense | | HP >> Hit Points - Every 1 point increase gives +3 to HP | |^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^| * - 11 Skill points are always available when starting a new character. ^ Thus, you have to balance out the 11 available points to give your character some shape or mold. I'd like to give credit to Ayalla for this excellent setup which gives you the most profitable character early on: MV +1 <-- This setup gives you a character capable of moving at an AT +5 average rate, attacking with power, defending at an average DF +2 rate, and average HP. I highly recommend getting attack points HP 16 in this game because it will be necessary to attack certain people just to advance through certain missions. Once you have created a character, a small window should appear in the lower left corner. This is your status window, and it can be changed by pressing the Triangle button. You may see how many Credits you have, your current items held, level, and so on. The Save Icon will permit you to save your progress to a Memory Card. The Load Icon let's you load a saved file. The Status icon let's you view all details of your character in a new window. The Erase Icon (INN) will let you remove characters that are loaded. ___________ #__: MISSIONS :__# - After a character has been created, loaded, or saved, you may then start to accept missions. Missions usually have objectives, which depend on the mode of play. During story mode, you'll most likely have to seek out specific items, prevent the escape of NPCs, or find a specific person. On normal mode, a certain "target" item will be designated, and you must find it, while escaping with it in your possession for the true win. To get organized with missions, go to the main menu, and click on the CLIENT button. >> MISSION ICON: "Let's you select the next available mission for your character. The man with the Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses will give you a short briefing on your goal during the mission. Each time you upgrade your character's level, a new story mode mission will be available. Otherwise, you'll keep competing in normal missions to seek out new treasures." >> ITEM ICON: "This allows you to sell any items in your inventory to the man for credit units. When selling items, they can be identified or unidentified. Identified items yield more value, but you're paying to identify them in the long run, which cuts down on your profit. Just sell cheap items like soda pop and books without identification because of their low value. You may also propose to RAISE the sales cost, however, sometimes your offer will be rejected, and you will be forced to take half the initial price." >> EVALUATION ICON: "For a certain fee, the man will identify items in your inventory, which reveals their hidden effects. This will also increase their sales value, along with the addition of their information to the item database." __________ #__: HOSPITAL :__# - After a long day of kicking butt in mysterious dungeons, and collecting random artifacts, you're eventually going to get a patch or two at the hospital. In Battle Hunter, the Hospital is the primary way of upgrading your character per say. >> HEAL ICON: "During a battle, if you are fatally wounded (below 0 HP), then the hospital is the next place you will need to go after the mission. Upon death, your maximum HP is cut in half, and can only be repaired using this icon. It's essential because your maximum HP will stay down until you've repaired it using this option. Expect to pay credits for each HP healed." >> LEVEL UP ICON "Once you have enough credits, you may upgrade your character by one level for a hefty price. The great thing about leveling up is that it increases your HP by one unit, and also gives you one unit to spare. So you could combine that with the +1 HP for a +4 total gain in HP, or just add to your attack/defense rating. Leveling up allows you to progress in storyline mode, and receive more missions, so don't feel afraid to upgrade quite often." ______________ /Battle System/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When it comes to strategy combat games, the battle system decides it all. Without a concrete organized layout, battles will seem drab, and hardly draw the player into the action. Battle Hunter's combat system is similar to Ogre Battle, albeit less advanced. Basically, you can attack or move around a grid- based arena (from an isometric view) in an attempt to search for treasures in crates or chests. Whenever you perform an action (such as attacking, moving, or defending), battle cards are drawn to determine who gets the advantage. They're similar to rolling dice, as the #'s are completely random, and range from 1-6. If the computer draws a 2 and a 3, and you get a 4 and a 1, you would technically deal 2 damage as your 4 beats his 2, but your 1 does not beat your 3. Basically, all of the actions are determined by the random rolling or drawing of basic numbered cards. - Here's where it starts to get tricky. There are special cards in the game that are used for increasing skills, laying down traps, avoiding traps, or movement bonuses. Each character in the game can hold up to 5 at a time, and each person starts out with 5. There are a total of 80 new cards which can be drawn from the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Each time you use these special cards, one will be drawn from the deck of 80. Once the 80 cards run out, a powerful monster named Gon will spawn, and attempt to kill everyone on the map. You're sort of under pressure to complete your mission before Gon appears since he can kill characters permanently. The following section will describe the battles, and how they work to the fullest degree. ________________ #__: REPRESENTATION :__# - It's essential to understand what certain symbols represent during the game, and on the Dungeon screen. The first few described actions will be the selectable icons you may choose from in the upper left-hand portion of the screen. >> BOOT ICON - *Move* - this permits you to move your character "x" amount of spaces across the dungeon. Determined by the random die rolled, and if any bonus cards are used to strengthen the amount of blocks you may move. ^ USED WITH: BLUE (movement bonuses), YELLOW (avoid traps bonuses), or GREEN (lay down a trap on the current square where you are) >> ATTACK ICON - *Attack* - this permits you to attack an opponent or monster directly on an ADJACENT square to you. Your character will then be warped to a Battle Screen which is described later on. ^ USED WITH: n/a >> COFFEE ICON - *Rest* - this permits you to rest on the map if you have been damaged or need cards. Resting will restore a small amount of HP, and also regenerate any missing cards instantly. If you have 0 cards, you may regenerate 3 at a time, or 2 normally. ^ USED WITH: n/a - MONSTER - During the battles, random monsters will appear to lay down delightful greetings. Their entry to the battlefield is completely random, and they will usually chase the target closest to them (or who engages them). Monsters cannot hit traps, and are represented by a green triangle with a sphere on top. They're capable of hitting you, and may cause confusion (which can be a pain in the butt). They're not capable of using special cards during battle. - DEATH - When you die or reach 0 HP, your character will lose one of their items (selected by the enemy), and be warped to a random destination on the map. Also, your maximum HP will be reduce to half of what it was, and the following turn, you will be healed up to that point. If you die, expect to visit the Hospital afterwards to repair the missing maximum HP. - SCROLLING - When it's your turn, you may check out the rest of the map by holding down the CIRCLE button, and using the directional buttons. Scrolling allows you to scout out the locations of the other treasure chests, your opponents, or main objectives. This is very useful as you will not be rambling off in a random direction. - STATUS VIEW - If you're confused on who or what has a special item, just press the TRIANGLE button to shift the status windows at the bottom of the screen. There are several different views for these windows, one of which includes items being held by each character. You may also view other specific stats. - EXITING - There's a random designated tile on each map that is the exit point. After you have taken the object item, or completed the objective, you must reach this point to leave the level. It's represented by a green tornado warp icon. _______ #__: CARDS :__# - As stated before, cards are drawn from a set deck of 80 during the progress of a dungeon mission. They hold special abilities, and may be used in certain instances. The following section will describe their uses: >> BLUE CARD - While moving... Number on the card is added to the player's movement range, and successfully gives them a boost in range. These cards range from [1-3]. There's also an EXIT card which instantly places the player on the exit tile. During battle... Number on the card is added to your chance of successfully escaping the battle. EXIT card yields in 100% escape. >> RED CARD - During battle... This card adds a % of attack power to your intial rating. It may range anywhere from [3-9]. So a red 3 would add 30% to your attack power. An [S] doubles your attack power, while a [C] adds the attack rating of the opponent. >> YELLOW CARD - While moving... The number on the card is added to the player's chance of successfully avoiding any traps during the upcoming movement. For example, a 4 would add a 40% chance of evasion of traps. Numbers range from [3-9]. A [D] or [A] will yield in 100% evasion of traps. During battle... Number on the card is added to the player's defense ability, as a percentage. A +8 would add 8 defense points to your rating. A [D] doubles your defense rating, and an [A] will not take any damage at all. >> GREEN CARD - While moving... This basically adds a trap to the block where the character is standing, before attemting to move ahead. There are four different types of traps in the game: 1) [D] - Damage - results in HP loss 2) [E] - Empty - takes all cards from hand 3) [L] - Leg Damage - destroys movement bonus 4) [S] - Stun - lose a turn _______________ #__: BATTLE SCREEN :__# - After you have been attacked, or you attack someone else, the game will warp to the battle screen. Battles are similar to Ogre Battle as you select actions for your characters, and they do them. Depending on who attacks first, the order of battle is different. Battles only last briefly for one turn (as each side selects an action). They are not continuous till death do us part. >> COUNTERATTACK ICON - this allows you to counter-attack against opponents who strike first. You may use red or yellow cards with this action to boost attack or defense ratings. This is designed for characters who excel at attacking, and do not fear taking much damage from their enemy. >> SHIELD ICON - this allows you to guard against attacks without repricussion. This will instantly double your defense, and is great when you're exposed. However, you will deal no damage to the enemy. >> ESCAPE ICON - this allows you to escape during a battle if attacked by another. If your attempt fails, your defense rating will be dropped to zero. >> SURRENDER ICON - this allows you to escape a battle via bribery. You will take no damage, but must also select one item in your inventory to hand over to the enemy. You will then be warped to a random destination on the map. - Defeating an opponent (down to zero HP) let's you select one item from their inventory. >> FLAGS - these are special colored flags spread throughout the map. They come in colors similar to the special cards (red, yellow, blue, or green). They'll either give you multiplication bonuses, or have traps hidden underneath. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ============================ - 3) Walkthrough - ============================ Most RPGs have strenuous storylines that drag the player through a plethora of engaging events, terrible tragedies, and glorifying outbreaks. Walkthroughs for these types of games tend to be long and tedious. Thankfully, the developers of Battle Hunter decided to make the game a tad non-linear, throwing in random generated maps, opposing hunters, and in-between missions. Because of this, there are truly only a select few elements which can be predicted thoroughly throughout the game. This section will give you tips on how to complete each of the story mode missions, along with their main objectives, and plot twists. Expect spoilers ahead. ___________ /Mission #1/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 1 ]]]: Difficulty -> EASY ]]]: Target -> Silver Metal Chunk *When you first meet your employer, better known as the Broker, he'll inform you that it's best to get use to the dungeons. This first mission is basically an introduction to the creatures, and dangers that lie ahead. Use yours wits, discover the key item, and return to the exit tile to complete your mission.* This level is very easy for the simple fact that the silver chunk always spawns in a chest nearby to you. Quickly walk over to the nearer chests, and check them out. Once you have it, you can explore a bit more, or simply leave the level. Not many rewards on this level. ___________ /Mission #2/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 2 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Find missing hospital patient *You'll be introduced to the nearby Hospital nurse who treats most of the patients from severe battle wounds. Apparently, a patient has gone missing from the Hospital grounds, and she wants you to go find him in the dungeons below.* The only reason this mission can be challenging is because of the random placement of the victim. Your ultimate goal is to find a white-coated red haired man who appears to be crouching on the ground during the level. He should not move once. Try locating him by holding down the Circle button, and using the directional buttons to scroll across. Once you find him, set your ultimate goal to reaching him first. All you have to do is walk over the man's tile, and you'll complete the mission. You're going to be dealing with (3) B PHS agents, which is sort of like an uber-secret organization of government lackies. Don't let them reach him first, otherwise, it's a game over. *After the mission ends, the nurse will ask the patient why he ran away from the hospital. You'll get no response...yet.* ___________ /Mission #3/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 3 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Blue Floppy Disc currently carried by a thief *A new job opportunity has arose. A Mr. Sakimru wants you to locate a HAV data disc for a special robot that his company has been working on for the past few months. Apparently the backup data disc to the entire project has been stolen, and they want you to recover the data from a thief.* Start off by locating the lone B PHS agent on this map. He's the thief who is carrying the disc you need. Once you've located him, focus your efforts on flanking him BEFORE he can reach the exit tile. Sometimes he'll spawn close to it, however, most of the time he'll be on the opposite end of the exit location. You'll have two other hunters that will be seeking him down as well, so keep your wits open. Note that the B PHS agent is fairly powerful, and also will surrender the disc to the other CPU hunters if his health is low. Try to get in, nail that disc, then reach the exit tile. *After completing the mission, your employer tells you the truth. The disc was not for a robot, but rather it was confidential employee records which were needed for another purpose. However, you're just a hunter/mercenary being paid to do a job, and it is none of your business.* ___________ /Mission #4/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 4 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Red Floppy Disc *As usual, tasks need to be accomplished. A man named Jacobson needs your help to recover a red floppy disc in the dungeons below. One of his rival companies, Counterforce, has hired a special hunter to also look for the device. Find the disc before the other hunters do, and return it to Jacobson for a handsome reward.* You will finally get a chance to meet one of the first "secret" characters throughout the game, better known as Vikeif. His attack power is high, along with decent movement, HP, and fairly low defense. Almost a prototypical character that any player would love to be. Plus, he has a unique sprite that exhibits his traits quite fluently. The red floppy is spread throughout the map somewhere, so try your best to find it. Thankfully, you do not have to nail it off of any other NPCs, unless a Hunter gets a hold of it before you can. Watch out for Shuichi (the other secret Hunter) as he has extended movement range over all other characters. Return to the exit tile after discovering the item. *After finishing the task, Jacobson thanks you, and follows up on his bidding. Vikeif then enters the scene, and tells you to stay out of his client's business.* ___________ /Mission #5/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 5 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Yellow Floppy Disc *Remember the hospital patient from before? Well, apparently he wasn't so innocent after all. The reason he went down to the dungeons before was to hide some critical data, and he's now going to hire you to retrieve it.* I found this level to be fairly challenging because there are a TON of high move Hunters on this map. It was designed this way so that one of the high movers would most likely discover the disc first, and it would become a frantic chase to prevent him/her from reaching an exit. I found this mission easiest to complete when you get a good random location that puts you close by to the disc. Most of the hunters are fairly weak, so you shouldn't have any trouble combat wise. *After completing the task, your broker tells you to go visit the Hospital to see the man. Once there, the nurse informs you that he was killed the other day. Your broker freaks out because only a small deposit was made for the mission, and the rest of the money was never paid off. Of course, this also puts a big gap in the storyline/plot. Why was the man killed? For the sacred data? Your broker keeps the important floppy disc, and gives you the rest of the money.* ___________ /Mission #6/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 6 ]]]: Difficulty -> HARD ]]]: Target -> Yellow Floppy Disc held by B PHS agent *Since there are no real hot jobs on the market, the Broker wants you to recover a yellow floppy disc from a thief in the dungeons. This disc has some important information that might help for financial profit.* This mission is fairly hard because you'll have two main conflicts. The first conflict is that Shuichi and Vikeif will be the other two hunters on this map besides B PHS. Thus, watch out for Vikeif, and try to stay out of his way (due to his powerful attacks). Secondly, the B PHS agent has two items, one being the floppy, and a random second item. If you get his life low enough, he'll usually surrender the second item just to get retransported. Most of the time, it will place him closer to the exit tile. So if you can, try to attack him, and be sure you can do 10-15 damage to knock him down for the count. *After the task is complete, your Broker will give you a reward for recovering the lost data. However, he also admits that he hired several other Hunters too, both being Shuichi and Vikeif. Vikeif is angered by the double-crossing client, and says he has no problems with you since you were only doing your job.* ___________ /Mission #7/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 7 ]]]: Difficulty -> EASY ]]]: Target -> Battery Junk Part *Your broker tells you that he has no available jobs. However, Shuichi says that he has a mission for you. Apparently, he and Vikeif have been hired by a new client, and Shuichi needs you to find a part for him, as part of his previous contract. Recover the item, and you'll be paid handsomely by Mr. Sakimru.* This is basically just another search n' get the hell out of there mission. The battery part is spread somewhere throughout the crates, and most of your opposing hunters will be typical random characters. Some of them might have higher movement ranges, but for the most part, are fairly weak. Once you've found it, return to the exit tile for a mission complete. *Sakimru pays after you have completed the task, and your broker asks for the item so that he may send it to him.* ___________ /Mission #8/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 8 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Green Floppy Disc *The broker starts telling you about the B PHS agents you have encountered during the game. Apparently, B PHS is a crazy organization living in middle Arkland. Their beliefs say that society is overcrowded, and anyone who does not follow their rules should be executed. Since there are no jobs available, he wants you to seek out a green floppy disc, and return it to him for a hefty price.* You'll start off by noticing that there are 3 B PHS agents in the vicinity. Apparently, they really want this disc as well. The green floppy is spread in one of the eight random crates across the map. Try to look nearby since the game usually hints it closer to you. The agents are fairly powerful, and will excel in attack power. The agents will not act as a team, however, they will tend to set lots of traps near the exits once you have the item. Their AI is much smarter as well. Once you have that disk, get the heck out of there. *When the mission ends, a man dressed in a black suit will arrive to your Client center. He's willing to pay any amount to get his hands on the green disc you just gathered. Your broker delightfully sells the disc for money, and we move on our way.* ___________ /Mission #9/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 9 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Black Floppy Disc *Some interesting news has arose. Your daily broker has met with one of his men on the inside known as "Roast-beaf." Apparently, B PHS is hot on your trail like a fart caught in the wind. They're after you, but it has nothing to do with money. Since there are no available jobs, your broker wants you to retrieve a black floppy disc in the dungeons below.* You better start getting use to the scenario of 3 fully armed B PHS agents, because this mission is the same exact way. Start off by being more cautious in your approach. These guys have really high attack/low defense, or lots of movement bonuses to compensate. Either way, it's going to be both a tough mobile and combat battle. The disc is spread out in one of the crates, so most of this mission will rely upon luck. You can probably take down one of the agents if you focus your attacks because they're not teamed up. Plus, monsters will prove to be a great distraction. *Since B PHS agents were at your last mission, you let your broker know of the dangers. Mr. Jacobson makes another appearance as usual, and offers to purchase the disc off of your boss. Your boss sells it delightfully, giving you a cut. You curse at him angrily because of PHS's recent suspicions. However, he says that he made a copy of the disc, and plans to have Roast-beaf analyze it during the break.* ___________ /Mission #10/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 10 ]]]: Difficulty -> HARD ]]]: Target -> Blue Sensor Disc *Since the last mission, Roast-beaf has analyzed the disc given to him. After a thorough search, it has been discovered that B PHS's plans all along are to create a chemical weapon. There's lots of data about a mass chemical weapon which could cause mass genocide if released upon a large grouping of people. Since their plans involve exterminating anyone who is against them, this could be their one strike they have been planning all along. Your boss says to keep a look out for more B PHS agents, and to keep that background information in the back of your mind.* Same scenario from before. You'll have three B PHS agents spread across the map, along with the blue sensor disc in one of the crates. The reason this mission is a lot harder is because of your placement. It seems as if the actual item location IS random, meaning it won't be close or nearby to you 70% of the time. Your best bet is to hope that the men get distracted by random monsters, then try to uncover as many crates as you can in the meantime. The hunters themselves are too powerful to battle all together, and they will seal the way to exits with lots of traps. This is a very dangerous mission, and you will probably replay it a few times. *The same routine seems to be going over and over. Your broker asks you if you saw more B PHS agents, and you reply with a yes. Because of this, he expects Jacobson to arrive soon. Unlike last time, the broker says he wants 10 times as much as what he paid last time. Jacobson believes this to be absurd, and warns them not to be his enemy. Your broker never sells the item to him. Your boss says he did it out of the kindness of his heart because he knows what they would use the disc for. Vikeif interrupts claiming that he would only reject a sale if he had a better offer. Sakimru probably made a much higher offer for the item, but your boss says that it's none of your business to know.* ____________ /Mission #11/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 11 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Red Sensor Disc *Your new mission this time involves a high-priced client, better known as Mr. Sakimru. He has discovered the location of a disc containing weapons critical data, and wants you to get it before the B PHS agents do. Sounds simple, eh?* As usual, you will have 3 B PHS agents to deal with. The great thing is that you "usually" start off near the item, so check the nearby crates. Most of the opposing agents will start about midway, or opposite of you, so this level is similar to a fort being sieged. Once you get the item, try to avoid the agents at all costs. Some may plant traps near the exit, while others will intercept you. *Sakimru congratulates you on finding the item, and wonders if it has chemical weapons data on it. It's important that the item was retrieved before B PHS could get their hands on it. He also let's you know that his keen interest in the discs is purely mutual. His reasoning is that he wants the disc to prevent B PHS from building a weapon which could be used against him. Most of the B PHS agents are ex-employees of Sakimru's corporation, so it would only make sense that he's a part of the mess as well.* ____________ /Mission #12/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 12 ]]]: Difficulty -> HARD ]]]: Target -> Orange Sensor Disc *Following the same lines, we have another job offer from Mr. Sakimru. This mission is the same type as before, and he wants you to go and retrieve a disc from the depths below. Your broker begins to ponder how many of these items actually exist?* Lined up like the usual format, you will have 3 B PHS agents to fend off, along with a plethora of crazy traps to avoid. The enemies on this level are fairly more balanced off (attack and defense wise), but the natural environment is more of a hassle. There seems to be an excessive amount of traps, and you'll usually start off at a disadvantage. Find the disc in one of the crates, or allow one of the weaker hunters to capture it for you. Just make sure you get back to the exit tile in one piece. *Jacobson finds you next to Sakimru's HQ to let him know of the good news about your completion of the job. Jacobson discovers you and intervenes. He states that you were probably hired by Sakimru, and that he wants the disc from you. Give the disc and you will be able to live for a little longer, or refuse to die quickly. Suddenly, Vikeif interferes and blasts him away with the HAV Cannon. Shuichi and him save you. They bring you back to your broker, who tells you to be more careful.* ____________ /Mission #13/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 13 ]]]: Difficulty -> INTERMEDIATE ]]]: Target -> Green Sensor Disc *As usual, our long-time journey continues with the mission of finding another disc. Roast Beaf has found the chemical weapons facility that B PHS apparently owns. He says you'll probably find another disc in the following area. Retrieve it for a handsome reward from Mr. Sakimru.* Thankfully, the developers made this mission a tad more varied. Rather than facing three B PHS agents, you'll actually face three random generated hunters. This makes the battle easier in my opinion since some of them are fairly weak, spread out thin, and not overmassful in one category of power. The item is usually stationed in a nearby crate to YOUR position, so check the surrounding area. Most of them will become VERY aggressive after you get the item, so try to hitch it, and sprint away. They don't get distracted as easily as the B PHS guys do. *Jacobson finds you outside Sakimru's HQ and freaks out. He says he wants the discs so he can use the chemical weapon on "selected" and "non-selected" people. The selected people will be the ones that B PHS wants to clear from society, rather than just everyone. They will decide who lives and dies.* ____________ /Mission #14/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 14 ]]]: Difficulty -> HARD ]]]: Target -> Black Sensor Disc *Sakimru has offered you yet another job. However, your broker wonders how his business thrives without him ever in his office. Sakimru enters and says that he has hired the most elite staff to man and control his business while he's away. There's nothing to worry about. In consistentcy, he requires you to grab another disc out in the wilderness.* This time you will be back to your typical format. Three B PHS agents are opposing you, and searching for the item as well. This mission is especially hard because it seems as if all of the B PHS guys get grouped together, and you're tossed off on the other side. Your best bet is to keep restarting till you get a lucky layout, and even better, the item first. Remember though, the B PHS agents do NOT team up, so make use of their inaccuracies when chasing another person with the item, or using them to attack one another. *You hand the disc over to Sakimru. He spills his beans about what is going on. The difference between the selected and non-selected, that the B PHS were babbling about, is actually mutants. After two-thirds of the world's population was destroyed from the Great War, a virus spread rampant throughout the urban settings. Some of the survivors were affected by this virus which actually mutates human genomes and physical appearances. Certain people had altered abilities, and were not 100% human. Jacobson then arrives on the scene and says that they want to exterminate the mutants, in order to make the world pure again. That way, life could thrive naturally again. The chemical weapon is so advanced that it could target ONLY the mutated beings, and leave the humans alone. Sakimru objects claiming the theory to be crazy, and Jacobson says Sakimru is a mutant as well. However, Sakimru now has most of the data that Jacobson needs to utilize the weapon. Frankly though, you and your broker don't care.* ____________ /Mission #15/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ]]]: Relics Level 15 ]]]: Difficulty -> HARD ]]]: Target -> Sky Blue CD *Your broker tells Sakimru that you're back. He has some bad news for you. B PHS now has the sacred data that allows them to use the chemical weapon. There was an apparent spy in Sakimru's corporation who stole the data before Sakimru could catch him. All they need is one disc to complete and use the weapon at will. It's in their facility, and they are retrieving it as we speak. Retrieve the disc, and get it back to Sakimru before the B PHS do. This is your final and most important mission. Lives are at stake.* For the most part, you will start off grouped together on this map. There are a few rare instances where everyone will be spaced apart, but expect to be relatively close to your enemies on this one. The CD is located in one of the crates, and it's usually near the borderline or center, depending on the map layout. Three B PHS agents will be opposing you, most of which are balanced to be effective warriors. This mission is much easier if you have high movement. Make it to the exit once you have the item, and prepare for the ending. *Jacobson confronts you. He curses you for intercepting him the entire time, and says to hand the disc over. He then commands his troops to kill you and take it from your body. However, he looks over his shoulder to discover that his men are losing. Right before he attacks you, Vikeif blasts him away. Shuichi then shows up and says he used the HAV Cannon to destroy the chemical weapons facility. Sakimru wants you to tell no one of B PHS's plans, or about the mutants. He fears that discrimination would run rampant if society knew the truth of what happened. You have saved millions of lives this day. You're proud to be a Battle Hunter.* <==> GAME CREDITS are now shown <==> **THE END. You have completed all 15 Story Mode missions for Battle Hunter. However, you can still play with your character under a few basic restrictions.** - You can still play normal random generated missions. - A special background is unlocked showing a Human Armored Vehicle. - However, you CANNOT level any higher than 15. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ============================ - 4) Strategies - ============================ Unlike action games or adventure games, strategy games require a tad more thinking to be successful in. Many times, retreating or attacking a certain target can interpret victory or defeat during a matchup. However, because of the genre's unique approach to gaming (involving stats, equipment, and placement), strategy games are much more fun to the gamer themself. This section will describe a few key strategies, character development tactics, and ways of enhancing your gameplay with Battle Hunter. _____________ /Player Types/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Thankfully, with Battle Hunter's design, the player can develop their own character any way they desire. There are four primary categories points can be placed into: Movement, Attack, Defense, and HP. Each category also requires "x" amount of points before the counter will yield a bonus. For example, it takes 3 points to be put into Movement before you'll actually get a movement bonus of +1. This is why Battle Hunter can be cunning or sly at times. Making a wrong level-up move can affect your entire game. This section will describe a few different types of hunters you'll encounter throughout the game, plus recommended builds. ])> SCOUT <([ |===========| Rating: *** - The scout is someone who makes use of the exclusive movement bonus, and attempts to pump as many points into it. The idea is so that they can become one of the most mobile Hunters on the field, allowing them to reach treasures first, and be out of reach of their pursuers in a matter of seconds. The downfall to scouts is that their HP is usually average, and their defense & attack are very low. This is a horrible mix as they'll have no combat-like influence on the battlefield. Basically, you'll want to move around a lot, collect as many treasures as possible, then get the heck out of there. Traps will prove to be problems for these guys as a Leg-Damage trap makes them entirely worthless. Equip them with crutches if necessary, and they're usually better in multiplayer games where they won't have to go on missions where attacking first is required. ])> AGGRESSOR <([ |===============| Rating: ***** - These are one of the most effective characters you'll use throughout the game. Aggressors are designed to have high attack, low defense, average HP, and average movement. The idea is to make them a fairly balanced attack threat which can kill characters within 2-3 moves, or force hunters into surrendering. Aggressors are the best way to go because they can fend off monster attacks, and still put up an able defense when the time comes ready. Their only true problem is that they can get overrun by opposing players, and their low defense will prove to be a downfall. However, high attack means quicker navigation across the board, and more fear placed into your opponents. This is my recommended role to you. You'd usually have a 2.5 to 1 ratio on attack:defense. ])> FORTIFIERS <([ |================| Rating: ** - The fortifier is the complete opposite of the aggressor. Their primary goal is to reach an item first, and basically hold onto it in a tough manner, while they walk back to the exit. Fortifiers have high defense, low attack, average HP, and above average movement. The idea is for them to reach a chest first, grab a hold of the item, and just guard out against all attacks on them. The high defense usually proves to reign through, however, they are WORTHLESS when it comes to attacking other people. If someone gets the quest item before you, you're practically screwed. This makes it horribly difficult just to advance through story mode with one of these characters. They're the conservatives of Battle Hunter. You'll usually find a 2:1 ratio of defense:attack, with leftovers placed on movement. ___________ /Techniques/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= While you may understand the basics of Battle Hunter, there are a few more in- depth strategies you have to learn. Such as when to surrender, guard, attack, or escape during a battle can decide ultimate victory, or a frustrating loss. Due to the randomness of the game, it can really get hectic unless you focus on your objective. This section will describe some in-depth strategies, and also basic pointers. ::0-> Setting Traps - Based on your playing field, it is best to lay down traps on choke points, narrow passageways, or paths that lead to the exit tile. Chokepoints are usually an intersection where 3 or more routes combine together. By planting any sort of trap there, you're almost guaranteeing that the CPU will hit it along the way. Narrow passageways are one-tile wide routes that usually lead back to the center of the level, or a key location. By planting a trap on these areas, it is unavoidable by the enemy to hit them. So you're basically guaranteeing that someone will walk over it. Just make sure you don't plant it in a spot where YOU will be forced to walk through. Finally, any straight-on spots that lead to the exit tile should be layed down heavily with traps. Unless you have the objective item, most of the time, the CPU will quickly rush back that way upon retrieving it. Planting a leg trap or two is perfect for hampering their speedy progress. ::0-> Surrendering - Surrendering is more of a strategic tactic that is highly effective when used correctly. Basically, when you surrender, you pick one item out of your inventory, and hand it to the opposing enemy. Afterwards, you will be randomly warped to a location on the board. The great quality about this skill is that YOU pick the item, rather than the enemy (who usually picks the objective item, or one of high value). If you happen to collect a worthless item during the level (aka non-important disc, or book), it's usually better to surrender to a HUMAN battle hunter, just so that you can get a random warp somewhere else. If you're lucky, you will wind up next to the exit tile or nearby. It's better than losing HP from several enemy attacks. Remember though that you cannot surrender to monsters. Always make sure you have an item of low value, otherwise you do not want to hand out an important one, or equipment that might be critical to your success. ::0-> Computer AI - After the objective item has been retrieved, one hunter will keep on seeking treasures, while the other two USUALLY chase you. This is a proven fact, and happens on nearly every single game. If a monster attacks a CPU opponent, they will usually get distracted, and keep focusing their attacks until that monster is dead. The CPU will lay down a lot more traps after the objective item has been retrieved, than before. They will keep chasing you until you give them the item, exit the level, or lose the objective item. Sometimes if one of them has the item, they will move a tile less than the maximum length, to make it possible for a human player to catch up. If a CPU opponent gets an Exit card, they will almost always use it immediately. This works out well for someone who has the objective item, since it spells instant victory. ::0-> Battle Tactics - When it comes to the gritty twists-and-turns of battling, you'll have to make some crucial decisions out there. While surrendering is limited to specific situations, many of your basics abilities such as guarding, counterattacking, and escaping will be used frequently. It's best to escape when you always have a blue card in your deck, and your opponent does not. Make sure you use your blue card, as it increases the chances of escaping. Note that your defense is dropped to zero if you fail to escape. Guarding should only be used if you're facing an extremely high attack-powered opponent, and your own defense is 3 or more (otherwise it's useless). It doubles your current defensive power, so each character's ability to guard will affect differently. Again, this skill is used to conserve HP. You should try counterattacking with red cards, or a strong yellow card if you're confident the enemy has a powerful attack. That way, you can fend off the damage from your opponent with the yellow card, and counterattack with a vulnerable target waiting. ::0-> Confusion/Special Attacks - Believe it or not, each character in the game has power-up attacks which can do heightened attacks when used upon opponents. Anytime you roll pairs of the same number, your character will be charged with an aura, and sometimes launch a special attack. Usually, if the attack does damage over the opponent's defense, it will also add a CONFUSION status on that enemy. Confusion lasts for one turn, and let's the CPU make the decisions for you. This can be risky, especially when you're low on HP, and it decides to attack the toughest opponent on the map. Aside from that, each monster in the game usually has a special attack which will empty and confuse you, or just do the one status effect. Certain characters have built-in special attacks that just activate at random moments, but have no relation to the dice rolled. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ============================= - 5) Codes - ============================= As with every game out there, developers usually add tints of replay value better known as cheat codes, to expand a game's overall depth. In certain cases, the cheats are overwhelming that they extract from the game. On other instances, you'll find there simply aren't enough to even get an ounce of extra enjoyment you were anticipating. This section will provide you with cheat codes.

The best place to look is at your large retail distributors, such as Sams' Club. Often, you'll find this game packaged new with another Playstation game for a very low price. Battle Hunter was developed to be a budget title. As a matter of fact, you can purchase it new off of A1Games website (http://www.a1games.com) for a measly $10. The best choice is eBay since you can get it very cheap, due to the high quantities produced. This game isn't overwhelmingly rare, it's just that its recent release of 2001 makes it somewhat harder to find than a Greatest Hits game. << Is this game really a superb strategic RPG? >> - Yes and no. The biggest and foremost flaw in Battle Hunter's design is how everything plays out. Because of the constant random settings, in-between missions, and opponents, the difficulty fluctuates with the twisting of a knob. Some missions may be extremely easy because your target item happens to spawn next to you, while others can be a real pain in the arse. Simply put, sometimes the CPU gets the heightened advantage of an Exit card, or nearby Exit tile, while you may be placed on the opposite side of the map. There's really nothing you can do about it either. It is just the way the entire game was designed, which proves to be frustrating, or addicting depending on the player's toleration. << What character did you use to complete the game? >> - I basically customized my "own" hunter per say. He was fairly powerful throughout the game, but had some close calls based on low defense: Name: GUSTAV Sprite: Black w/ Helmet Visor Armored Guy Weapon: Shotgun MV: +3 AT: 11 DF: 4 HP: 42 Inventory: Helmet (+2 DF) War Gloves (+2 AT) << What was your character's rank upon completing the game? >> - I believe it was an "A". I had a 40% 1st place rating, 44% 2nd place rating, and the rest in 3rd place. I don't believe I've ever gotten last place during a mission. To improve your rank, try getting as many bonuses before a character leaves a map. For example, if the CPU snatches an item close to the exit tile, try to get as many crates and flags before they warp off. If you know you have no chance of stopping them, do actions that will boost your own credits score at the end mission screen. -<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>- ====================================================== - 7) Copyright/Distribution/Reproduction Guidelines - ====================================================== This FAQ/Strategy Guide/Walkthrough is my own published work, and copyrighted by Christopher Zawada.

The number of cases reported to Cologne police following a night of mass sex assaults and thefts continued to rise sharply, with the latest official figures rising to 516 complaints from a previous 379.
Around 40 per cent of the complaints involve allegations of sexual assault, according to the police statement.
It said that a 19-year-old Moroccan man had been arrested in connection with the New Year's Eve attacks, which saw around 1,000 intoxicated men congregate in front of the western Germany city's main train station.
The police are also looking into charges filed against 19 named suspects.
Most of the perpetrators are reported to have been of North African or Arab appearance, sparking international debate over Germany's decision to allow over 1 million migrants into the country last year, with many concerned that some men among the arrivals may not adhere to Western values.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas believes that the attacks were organized, according to comments in Sunday's edition of the Bild newspaper.
"When such a horde meets to commit crimes, it seems to have been planned in some way. Nobody can tell me that it wasn't coordinated or pre-prepared," Maas was quoted in the popular tabloid as saying.
Maas was also not prepared to rule out a connection between the Cologne attacks and those on women elsewhere in Germany.
The wave of crimes in Cologne were mirrored in Hamburg on New Year's Eve, where 108 complaints were filed, and to a much lesser extent in other cities.
At the same time Maas warned people not to draw conclusions about how law-abiding migrants are from the attacks.
But Maas warned people against drawing conclusions on crime based on race. "To infer from someone's background that he is more likely to commit a crime or not I find to be risky," he said.
Chancellor Angela Merkel responded to the tense debate on Saturday by promising tougher action against criminals of foreign nationality, including measures to revoke the right to claim asylum from people who break the law.
The leader of the parliamentary group of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Thomas Oppermann, said on Sunday the coalition partners should not descend into an "ideological row" over the issue.
He said he was "confident that the demands by the SPD for more staff and video surveillance could be decided quickly."
"We will also look impartially into whether we need to change the legal position," he added, a reference to Merkel's proposals.
