Starting Off
You first off need to decide what kind of party you want. A party of pure spellcasters or fighters has low survival chances, so you need to create a proper mix. A good party would be:


 * A dwarven Paladin
 * An elven Thief
 * A bobbit Cleric
 * A fuzzy Wizard

This party can dish out in combat, has both kinds of magic available (very important) and can get loads of gold quickly. Once the character creation is done, you should right away use the little gold you have to get basic equipment from the nearest town and equip it.

Your first problem is, that right now you have to worry about the fact, that your party are weak like kittens and badly equipped. Thankfully, higher level enemies only appear after you level up yourself, so you have time to train properly. Start hunting down overworld enemies to get experience and gold, while you constantly load up on food and equipment as well as slightly better weapons and armour.

This way you can grind until you've reached level 5, after which Lord British for now no longer wants to advance you further.

The Exotics and the Marks
After this is done, it is time to get some important things done. With you at level five, pirate ships now spawn and you should board one as quick as possible. One you have one, quickly sail to the islands with the Exotic Armour and Exotic Weapons and dig them up. The Exotic Armour is the best in the game and also has no class restrictions, so wear them right away. The weapons are a bit different, since they are melee. Equip only your magic users with them for now and let your fighters use missile weapons, which is more effective against most monsters.

Next on your list is getting all four of the marks, since you can't win without them. Note that each character needs all four of them.


 * The Mark of Kings is easiest found in the Perinian Depths on level 1. It allows the characters to be promoted up to level 25.
 * The Mark of Fire is easiest found in the Perinian Depths on level 8. It allows the characters to walk through lava without any ill-effects at all.


 * The Mark of Force is easiest found in the Dungeon of Doom on level 8. The mark allows the party to walk through force fields without taking any damage.


 * The Mark of the Snake of course is only found in the Dungeon of the Snake, which can be reached by the crascent waxing moon (1) moongate. The mark is gained on level 8 and allows passage of the Great Earth Serpent with the right password.

Once you have aquired the marks, it is time to face the next problem at hand.
