eHHRR8oo: EDIT: For some reason the game started up with Town 3 instead of Town 1; now I see them so maybe I can go from here.

Hope I am not seen as butting in here, but I have finally started up trying to play Might & Magic 1 (never played any of them before).

One dumb situation: I don't seem to be able to add any of the pregen characters in the game into a party to actually "Go To Town" and start.

According to the manual:

"Set Up Your Party
To add a character to your party, hold down CONTROL and press the KEY LETTER next to the character's
name on the list of available characters. A @ will appear next to the character's name, marking him/her as a
member of your party."

However, holding down the CTRL key and pushing in any letters A - F corresponding to the pregen characters at the "View All Characters" screen does NOTHING. No @ symbol appears. (I've tried both left & right CTRL keys in case it matters.)

So am I doing something wrong, or any other ideas how to get going?
Don't know if you've solved this problem yet, but you have to select the town where the characters are located (at the beginning, this will be #1) in order to add them to your party. You can't add them from the View All Characters screen. As has already been stated, you can only have 6 people in your party at once.

One more question: My cleric rapidly ages all the time and I can't see a reason for it. I don't think I fought any monsters that age the party and it only happens to him.

Equipped stuff (just in case that it matters): Thunder Hammer, Ring Mail +2, Lucky Charm, Undead Amulet, Knowledge Book, Defense Ring).

Any ideas?

I think one or more of the high level spells age your cleric significantly. Divine Intervention, for instance. Check the spellbook in the manual.

Spellbook doesn't say so, but I will check if it is the Divine Intervention spell. Thank you!

As gammaleak said, it's definitley from caster high-level cleric spells. These spells will rapidly age the caster. Use the rejuvenation spell to reverse the aging. Rejuvenation sometimes fails and makes the character older instead, but usually repeated casts will make the character younger overall. If you're really worried, hang out near an inn and save each time you manage to get the character younger.

By the way, you can always recover from a character who's too old. The character might die when resting but can always be brought back with Raise Dead, so it's just a matter of waiting long enough to be successful with the rejuvenation spell.
