Hi Matthew and all, > Hello, since the developers are on this list, I thought I'd ask the > questions here. That's a good idea! ;-) > I enjoy your new game Mississippi, which for those who don't > know is available from > www.Mar-DY.com > and plan to buy it really soon. We are very happy that you like our game! > The demo only goes for a certain length of > game years, but how long does the full game go for? Upto what year can I > play in the game? You can play until 1820. If you are not president before, you will die in this year. That's because your character may be 70 years or older then! > Also, when I'm buying and selling, does it do any good to > buy and sell something, and then buy and sell something else? I haven't > quite figured out when to continue to the next round. At the beginning of a round, you can sell four of the nine goods in the game. Those four goods are chosen randomly. If you don't have one or more of those goods in your stockroom, stables or safes, this dialog would not be shown. That means: if you've baught only cotton and nothing else, the selling dialog would only appear, if one of the four goods is cotton too. So it is a good idea to buy not only one good, but different. Okay. Lets say we are in spring 1771. You buy 50 grain, 20 whisky, and 10 cattle. Now you have'nt enough money to buy something else. Then you can go to the next round and hope, that grain, whisky or cattle are needed. Now you can sell your goods, and earn money by selling them, buy other goods, and so on. What are the lowest and highest prices of the goods, you have to find out for yourself! ;-) > Also, could you > explain the uses of the various things you can buy, and who buys them? Are > you supposed to buy everything you can afford, then go to the next round, > and see how it has gone? Do you use the goods for anything other than to > fill up your rooms and to sell off? No. In this version the goods are only to deal. That means, you can buy and sell all you like, if you have enough money and stock-room! ;-) > Also, you mention being able to interact > with people in the town, hire drivers, inspect wagons, and other things. I > played the whole demo and didn't find these things anywhere. Are they in the > demo, or did I miss something somewhere? No, ;-), the things like: building branch offices, wagons, send them, and so on, are available, if you promoted to a comoner. That means: if you have reached a specific amount of money, you'll promote to a comoner of Mississippi, then to a salesman, and so on. But it's not only the money what you need to promote! > Also, in future versions, will you > be updating the word kontor to branch office? Now you must help me, because my english is only school-English! ;-) I thought, that "kontor" is an old word for "branch office", and, because the game is placed in 17..., we thought that "kontor" is the better word. Is'nt it right?
I hope I have answert your questions right? If not, don't be shy to ask oncemore! Best regards! Marco _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
