> > Hi Sam, I'll try to be clearer on that same of problem this time. Has to do with 'switches' and moving walls around with them. Sometimes they seem to do exactly what I think they will (at least in the area seen near=by) and screw things up elsewhere. What can you advise about returning them to original positions after the task you move them for is completed or leaving them as they were after you got your desired result? > > Each switch only moves blue walls that are within four squares of you, so any blue walls further away will be unaffected. > > The arrows on the blue walls indicate what direction the walls will move if you flip the switch. It should be pretty self-apparent what happens when you flip the switches.

Still, it should probably be clarified.
Then, perhaps there is something wrong with mine? I'll try to explain what I've noticed happening. Fighting a blue with a certain support team that has the ablilty to declare "defend Murkon by 1 or 4? AC" and those only last until battle ends. Always and quite clear. Then, that same minion will sometimes state they are giving Murkon 'permanent AC of 1 additonal AC. When the battle is over and Murkon moves to next blue, his AC for that battle is back to what it was before the preceding battle even started. That so-called 'permanent one point is NOT added. Also, I scroll after each move and hit NO TRAPS that removed AC since I got down to 3 more kills. Am currently down to 1 more so it's been a very long while. I began with 24 and was given '1' twice stating it was PERMANENT. I can understand only one of them lasting, but shouldn't my AC be brought up to 25 when beginning to fight an entirely different and new 'blue' after defeating the other one entirely? Dosen't strike me as fair that way as it should be raised 'permanently' if stated as such. Please, can you explain this. I know that when 'permanent' isn't in print, they are only good for the duration of that battle and AC reverts afterward to the AC that was there before the battle began. I also thought "permanent' in this case might have points that only last a little longer and are subtracted when I hit check points? Don't know how else to explain what's been happening on Lev.5 in my game. Can you figure out what's happening and why? I can't. Thanks for clarifying those 'wall switches' and hope you can figure out about the so-called permanent AC points aren't 'permanent' at all. Banan
