I've been playing Thunderscape a while now, and have been wondering, what
the heck does a critical hit do?  It's not obvious, and though some of the
magical weapons 'increase chance of critical hit' I can't for the life of
me tell why I care!

My guys have gotten critical hits (for as little as 1 point: I love it
"Giant Scorpion lands a critical hit on Charlatan in the leg for 1
point.")

Second thing, what's the key to get the coordinates for the party?  I
don't think that's in the manual (is it?).

Third thing (surprise).  Typing X exits the game immediately (no asking
about saving, or anything).  Pretty unbelievable to put THAT real near
keys which are used a lot, like, C, F, and D (which are easier to get to
than those icons, IMHO).  Cntl-X I can understand, and think is a good
choice, but plain, ol, X?  Bad interface, guys!!!
