Hi zac.
At the moment I'm just trying to get a sufficient amount of money to
actually buy better weapons so that I stand a chance against warriors and
can go to more interesting places. At the moment every time I've tried
fighting someone I've got my rear end soundly handed to me, ---- even on the
one occasion i met a guy who like me was just carrying a knife.
I'm trying to get money by selling wood, but it's not the most interesting
process in the world especially given the slightly clunky item handling
commands, and the rather heavy game emphasis on inventory management and
carrying capacity.
while eating and drinking in a game is fair enough, ---- and the time
element is potentially interesting, constantly having to stuff things into
sacks or my backpack and take them out is proving not to be too much fun.
of course, I've probably just been spoiled by all the fun litle dodges that
systems like inform use to handle these sorts of things. Even Eamon delux
got some pretty heavy overhawling by it's creator to make command entering
quicker, ---- eg, auto complete, enter to repeat commands etc.
But I'll persist with fallthrough sinse the sense of wandering a huge map is
rather nice and I'm certain that

Hi Dark,
Yep, after you greet warriors and read the information they provide
they do vanish. I always thought of it as just passing them by along the
road or somesuch.
As for the odometer, that's easy enough for me to explain. It keeps
track of the number of consecutive legions you've gone in a certain
direction. (E.G. 7n means you've gone 7 straight north. For some reason,
it starts counting at 0.) You'll notice that if you use the repeat
command to turn on more rapid movement it'll increase in leaps of ten,
which is useful if a bit dangerous at times. Also keep in mind that if
you get into wilderness areas, denoted by "wild" on one of the status
lines next to your injurry statistic, I think, you won't be able to keep a
straight line of travel without a navaid. Just be careful.
Enjoy,
Zack.

Hi Zac.
thanks, ---- that seems to work, and seems to be the method for all item
handling, eg, filling containers.
If you don't mind one other question, I met a warrior and use thed the hi
command to check his/her strength. After checking that however and
reading the comment, the warrior just sort of vanished, which was odd.
I just need to sort out how the odometer works so I don't get lost in
that landscape lol!
When all of these issues are fixed, i'll write up a fallthrough page for
audiogames.net with some tips so that these issues don't come up again.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
In this case, the problem is one of syntax. When the game says "lay
down enough money before you buy" it means literally that. You want to
type something like "drop 7 ralls", or whatever, before buying anything.
You don't need to worry about making change: the game does that for
you automatically, though you do have to type "take 35 ems" or however
much you're left with after you're done buying things.
As a note, the give command is only useful for the most part in
yielding to warriors and giving items or food or whatever to peasants.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Zack.

Hi.
I'm sorry about yet another message on this, but I'm running into
another issue I'm afraid.
I can't buy any items.
whenever I type in "buy knife" "buy pack" or whatever (as the commands
list suggests), I get the message "lay down enough money first"
However when I try to give the shopkeeper money it just says "out of
context?"
Any suggestions?
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
