For those wanting a "flee battle" option, we can sort of do that even now. While you're traveling in the desert, if you see an enemy group coming, you can "swerve" (use your mouse to point your caravan in a different direction) and avoid them. Drawbacks are: 1) if your character has low level sight, you'll only see them when they're really close to you, less time to react and swerve away; 2) once you swerve, you can lose your sense of direction and get utterly lost in desert. Best to swerve as little as you can and get right back on track to the town's direction (if you remember it!). If you really need to avoid battle, helps to save before you leave town. Then if the enemy comes in the desert, you can take note of how long into the journey it was & which direction they came from; then, reload your last save and avoid them better. I know, it's tedious, but doable.
Crossbows were tricky for me to use. It took 5AP (Action Pts) to fire and 7AP to load, using up 12AP(!!!) if I reloaded after firing. That means very little AP left to run. The enemy easily caught up and cut down my character. Finally figured out the best way to use a crossbow was to fire, RUN, reload, RUN, and only THEN fire again. Longer battles. Seemed much easier to use my melee weapon instead.
I was mannually saving the game at certain points, and renaming my saved game, eg. HarvestSave_winter_day02. I could never get my saved games to load next time. It turns out, my mistake was in trying to load my renamed save game. So I switched the filename back to the original HarvestSave and it worked fine. :) Silly me.
I received 2 telegrams saying I got the nails I requested from 2 different ppl but only one box of nails was in my inventory even after refreshing. Is there some lag time or something?
Dear Developer, would you please put in your beginner's manual step by step instructions on how to post a request for friends/staff in chat? I copy the link, but before I can type in a message the tab refreshes. Always happens. What am I doing wrong?
Finally managed to get supreme scores on all but the last stage of level 5 (whew). You score higher if: you have 1 runway for landings & another just for take off; you park planes in gates of their color; you land/park/service/refuel(etc) smaller planes before bigger planes. Make bigger planes wait in those extra slots as much as you can without getting them upset. This will give you time to deal with the small ones. :D
The buttons worked for me. Once you max out on 10 pieces per gem the BUY button for that gem won't work. Probably need to buy more storage. I wonder if this is why some comments say "buttons don't work"? Just a thought.
