~Magic Carpet
Collection of various tips.
~A few tips.
Civilians have Mana, so cast Possess Spells on their buildings to
gain control of the Mana. Be careful though, not to kill them.
If you're getting infested by slow movinng creatures in their
large numbers, then try destroying your castle using SHIFT L and
then cast a Castle Spell on top of them, until you have squashed
them all. Then use the Possess Spell to collect their Mana.
On later levels you can use nearby monsters to destroy rival
castle's. To do this simply lure them nearby the rival castle and
fly away, they should then concentrate on the destruction of this
new target.
When your health is getting low, hightail out of a battle to gain a
little back.
~More Tips, uploaded to Cheet Sheets BBS by Kevin Gorasia.
If you want to tackle this game yourself don't read the tips for this
great game.
Flying Tips
Slip sliding away.
Learn to use the left and right strafing keys propely,as when used
in conjusction with the backward and foward keys you can raelly
pull off some amazing moves during play.For example,when attacking
a castle use the left and right arrow keys to fly sideways around it
while shooting spells.This will make it harder for the archers to hit
you.
Skid-age
If you are in a tight spot and don't have enough mana to cast
accelerate, quickly turn yourself left to a 45-degree angle away
from the direction in which you want to fly,and hold down the
forward key and right strafe key.You will actually fly there
quicker than if you flew in a straight line!
Hand brake turns
For extremely quick left turning use the right arrow key and the
backwards arrow key together.For turning right,press left arrow
key and the backwards.This gives you a big advantage.
Emergency Stop
If you have someone on your tail,shooting you in the back don't turn
around and face them directly.It's better to reverse as quickly as
possible,and pop up behind them.If you have the Accelerate backwards
spell.all the better!
The Rachman Manoeuve
If you find yourself short of mana,fly around the level possessing
all the buildings you can. This can sometimes yield huge amounts on
mana to play with as most wizards tend to ignore buildings.

~Problem
I wonder if you could help me. I am on a level in magic carpet where
there is really only one main island with walled of compartments on
it. I can get in and collect spells as you go, each time triggering
more monsters and the exit to the next walled off compartment, but
now I am stuck. There are at least two areas I can not get into,
one contains another spell. I cannot cast my castle spell anywhere
so I have no safety.
~Answer
You CAN cast the castle spell! Its in the upper right area on the map
(in one of the corners), the corner with the masses of creatures in
it, i.e the rock throwers and the worms, you can just get one tower
right in the middle.
~Problem
The Last compartment contains soilders and a dragon. I can't
seriously be expected to kill a dragon with just fireball spells.
~Answer
Thats exactly what you have to do! I know it sounds impossible but
if you hammering away at it and make good use of the teleporters to
get out of the way you should have it within 5 minutes! Trust me:)
When the wyvern dies I think this triggers off the opening of the
door, from here on you can teleport back outside the island and
build a massive castle (7) after destroying the internal one with
SHIFT-L.
~Problem
So how do you,
a) build your castle.
b) get to the compartment with the spell and exit already in it.
and c) kill them all slowly.
~Answer
If all else fails use maphack to create a level land! This will all
access to all the spells from the start. I'm on the last level now!
Played level 48 for about 1.5 hrs then it crashed out to dos !! (This
has happened twice now, and on a friends pentium).
~Level 33
I just completed level 33 in magic carpet. Either this is by far the
weirdest level till now, or I exploited a bug to finish it. To find
out, I'll describe how I did it, and would like to know, if you did
it in another way...
Level 33 : Jahrrsomething is a labyrinth island with rooms connected
by magic portals. In the beginning, I find it impossible to find any
place to build any castle. After killing the wyvern appearing in the
third-last room, and the crabs in the first room, I flew around for
a LONG time, without knowing what to do. Finally, I found a few
places, where it was possible to build a level 1 castle. It was also
possible to break down some walls with the castle spell, but I was
not allowed to go through the hole - that is - after traversing the
series of rooms once more, I was suddenly allowed to pass a broken
barrier, and I could extend it to lead me to the outside. Outside,
I could build a big castle, and thereby restore equilibrium. There
was still two rooms, which I did not enter. I did not find enough
space to break down the walls to these roome from the inside, and
did not try from the outside. At the top of the wall adjacent to
one of the rooms, there was a spell, which I never got close
enough to get. (Anton Norup Sorensen - norup@obs.aau.dk)
