@Thariel: Using your map will tell you how far your destination is, and what compass direction. (Click on your current location, drag to your destination.) Your Caravan screen tells you how much you consume each day, and how fast you go per hour (multiply by 24 to get how far you go in a day), so you know how long it will take to get to your destination. Gather supplies accordingly. It's just like using a map and compass, instead of using the shortcut of your map application on your smartphone.

This game sucks. I got ambushed 4 times 1 right after the other. Kongregate should at least play a game before putting it up for the badge of the day. Make sure it's not sandbagging players.

I think I figured out the medicine, it seems its used only while you're walking through the desert, not while in battle, so as far as I know, you can't heal in battle. The game is fun, but I can't figure out how to get the badge? you have to buy $10,000 worth of stuff from the market then leave the town?

crappy game.. it doesn't say how long a journey wll take, so i cannot plan properly and i have bought lots of water bottles/canisters but can't fill them

When you are creating a character it would be very nice to know how those stats are converted into hps, aps and so on... What's intelligence for?

@Walrusgs You can only ride vehicles. So to go as fast as horses allow, you need enough vehicles for yourself and all of your men.

Horses, 15km/h, but I can't seem to figure out a way to ride them, so I'm stuck at my walking speed of 6 km/h. Anyone know how this works?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
can't read the directions on the map - text is white on a light background. So then you get out into the desert with nothing but unexplained moving circles and ... they attack you and you are dead. Game over.
I don't think I'll bother starting from the beginning a second time.

It could help if the game could tell when a player hasn't gone through the tutorial page first, just to anviliciously let them know about important considerations they should make before going on their first route. Food and water!! I forgot about those and max'd out on leather my first try. Before I knew it, i was stuck with no sustenance in the desert. Bad move on my part, I restarted and made a new character and made SURE I got provisions down first. Profits can come after I make sure I'll make it to the next town. First, I needed to make sure I could survive the desert.

I have to say, this game does not do much to teach the player how to play. Just menus and a back story, that's it. Can't say I'd recommend this to anyone.

Oh - to add insult to injury, I just noticed my Achievement progress after this more "successful" attempt: $7098 / 10,000. Probably would have gotten the badge if the RNG didn't come up with a 6 bandit party.

Problems with game: The storyline says don't go beyond Drushlack, leading one to believe it is safe down in this corner of the desert. Not true - encounters are totally random and pretty much unavoidable unless you get a vehicle - impossible without going beyong Drushlack. Sure, you could hire more men but the random encounters will overpower you at some point - its just a matter of when, not how. Food, forage, water - pretty simple to get around. Maybe I'm missing some key strategy like hiring a partner and hiding behind the cart to limit attack spots to 2? If that is the case, the game goes from a "random death" nightmare, to a randomly boring game. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A SEQUEL TO THIS.

Attempt 2 - Day 1: Buy cart, 10 food, 10 forage, 10 water, 50 ammo, rest on leather. Leave for Caganel (258 degree course). Ambushed 3 times, won. Sold leather, buy shoes, heal, more food, forage. Leave for Drushlack. Ambushed 3 times, won. Sold shoes, heal, more food, forage. Leave for PosaCosa. Ambushed 2 times, second time by 6 men. DIED. This game still sucks. Fun factor about 1/2 star. WAY TOO RANDOM.

Day 1: Buy cart, 3 food, 3 forage, 3 water, rest on leather. Leave for Caganel (258 degree course). Ambushed 30 seconds later. killed 1 robber, but killed by 3 more robbers. Game over. This game sucks. Bye.

LOVE this game. Played the beta of v2 for weeks now; love it as well, but needs more story content to go with the larger map. Looking forward to the final version!

First i bought too much stuff to travel, then i had to throw stuff to continue to travel, and finally i died without explanation. It doesn't sound the right way to keep new players... Sorry but it's a 1 star...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I won't say it is one star bad, but it was close. The game lacked a lot of refinements that might have made it better. It's steep learning curve did not help either. What you had to learn to survive was not explained enough in my mind. 2 stars.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Actually it's quite realistic game. If you don't prepare yourself for three days desert journey, you will starve and DIE. Game over, no autosave, no rollback, yes, you DIED. No help, no gas station. Just desert and you. And no food.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't know why is there so much hate for this game, It's a extremely excellent game, The learning curve is a big pain but when you finally get it, It's a very very VERY great game but with a very very VERY long learning curve but trust me. It's good

i agree with oracle4 this game is less than boring and i'd rather bash my fingers with a hammer than play this anymore.

This is actually one of the hands-down worst games I've ever played. Screw this badge of the day, it's not worth the mind-numbing tedium of slogging through this lukewarm pile of crap.
