I've never heard of using odd resolutions like 11x11 pixels for sprites. (I wasn't sure it was even technically possible until now)
Yep...
Custom tile mapper and sprite drawing routine as well.

I assume he must be displaying 16x11 sprites, but the last 5 col of each sprites are not used
Also IIRC the 3 Ultima for NES are stripped down versions of their PC/commodore 64 counterparts. This means they reduced the game lenght, removed many features and important storyline elements. Prbly due to memory limits for a NES cartridge. Still good games anyway though

Here's the details:
The following information is provided as "in box" documentation. I copied it from the Ultima Onlina Archive and reformatted it for this forum.
The Languages of Magic in Ultima V
Some aspects of magical lore have become fairly well known. One such is the language of magic. This is a set of twenty-four syllables compiled by a great language scholar after traveling throughout Britannia for more than seven years. These are all the components of any magic spell yet unknown; but they are little help -- and extremely dangerous -- without knowledge of how to combine them into the phrases that make meaningful incantations.
Following is a list of these powerful syllables, approximations of their meanings.
Syllable Idea
-------- ---------
An ..... negate
Bet .... small
Corp ... death
Des .... down
Ex ..... freedom
Flam ... flame
Grav ... energy
Hur .... wind
In ..... create
Kal .... invoke
Lor .... light
Mani ... life
Nox .... poison
Por .... movement
Quas ... illusion
Rel .... change
Sanct .. protection
Tym .... time
Uus .... up
Vas .... great
Wis .... knowledge
Xen .... creature
Ylem ... matter
Zu ..... sleep
The Mixtures of Magic
Reagents are herbs needed for the preparation of magical mixtures. Most are sold in apothecaries; a few are hard to find and require special effort to obtain. Following is a chart of the magical reagents and the general areas of proficiency they affect (in parentheses).
Black Pearl (Projection)-- A rare version of the standard white pearl, a black pearl is a forceful reagent in the creation of kinesthetic magic, that is, projecting objects.
Blood Moss (Movement)-- Fungal growth usually found in deep forests and warm, damp areas; especially favored as a reagent for its ability to enhance mobility.
Garlic (Warding)-- Ubiquitous and strong-scented reagent, used effectively in warding off evil spirits.
Ginseng (Healing)-- Ancient reagent used extensively in healing.
Mandrake Root (Power)-- Very rare and usually expensive magical herb growing only in swampy areas, mandrake root is said to bring great power to magic that uses it.
Nightshade (poison, Illusion)-- Rare, poisonous plant that appears only when the moons are in a certain conjunction. Those who learn its whereabouts and manage to be there in the dead of night when the moons are full can pick nightshade without danger and benefit from its powerful ability as a reagent to create illusions.
Spider Silk (Binding)-- The magical product of the garden spider and its relatives has no peer in its ability to bind. As a reagent mixed for magic, spider silk magnifies its binding power many times over.
Sulphurous Ash (Energy)-- Common material left by volcanic action, ash is an excellent source of energy in magical mixtures.
The Spells
Spells diverge greatly in term of difficulty, and, correspondingly, in terms of danger to the caster. After years of observation, and experimentation, scholars in magic have classified spells into eight circles of difficulty. Thus, mages who can command only the simplest spells are considered to be in the first circle.
Full mages' magical ability is directly related to their intelligence. Bards appear to have half the magical ability of full mages and fighters rarely have any. Casting spells drains magical powers, limiting how many spells mages can cast before resting. A spell will drain magical powers in amounts proportional to the spell's circle of difficulty.
On the facing page, a chart classifies the spells by circle, with a brief indication of each spell's use, a note on when it can be used, and an ingredient list. Do not take the ingredient lists to be recipes, as wrong quantities or careless mixing could have terrible results.
Note that not all spells can be used in all situations. Quite a few spells need far too much time or concentration to be cast during combat, others feed on the energies present in the battle arena.
Full descriptions of each spell's nature, use and effects follow. In the following chart, dng./com. signifies that the spell works in both dungeons and combat.Chart of Spells

basically it means lots of variety and complexity.
That's pretty sick the way the screen flashes and scrolls like that!

Well... with the exception of adding a little bit of detail, all of the magic spells, potions, and scrolls are now implemented.

The random enemy generator is now working 100%.
Enemies get generated based on the following criteria:
- Avatar's level (the higher the level, the harder the enemies)
- Current world (some enemies only lurk in the Underworld, etc.)
- Terrain type (some enemies live in water, some in the marshes, etc.)

are they different when you go at a specific location on the world map too? Like forest monsters will be stronger to the north than the forest monsters to the south?

It is more terrain specific rather than location specific.
But yes... depending on the type of terrain, you could have a greater chance of seeing a stronger monster.
