easiest way to rob a caravan is to get at least 4 men armed with rifles and explosive weapons (grenades,rockets). hide behind your own vehicles and the dumb computer will shoot at the vehicles...lob grenades over the vehicles

doomcat that is typical to this game.Easiest way to play the game is to rob a caravan, hope for loads of hummers then go to qubba>buy oil>hara>sell oil>buy fuel>quabba>sell fuel>repeat till you are rich.

Doubt this is typical, but I ran one of the newb route, then attacked a caravan. Most of the dudes ended up shooting themselves, and I drove away with thousands of dollars, assault rifles, and a hummer. :-D

Like the game. Complains: autopay and medic settings aren't saved so subsequent plays you have to remember to set them. Beginning seems to be a bit slow and there is a definite line you cross where it gets -very- difficult.

Some people are hoping that there will be more badges for this game but, think again. There won't be anymore badges because this game had it's badges given to it already. This game is getting old anyway so don't hope that there will be more badges.

Omniscent, one turn will free you from your vehicles, if you have so many that you begin combat like that. A short tactical placement before battle would have helped, I think, but it's not too disruptive. Personally, I never had more than 5 horses and 5 carts, until I ditched them all for a pair of Hummer 1's. Both setups weren't that disruptive. My only gripe with battle in this game is that it gets formulaic. Not enough variety, or balance, to encourage a wide variety of weapon use, and not enough statistics to differentiate characters from each other.

well, what I dislike about the battle system is that it takes so long to set up since most of the time over half of your men are behind carts and some of them are stuck until others get out. it's an ok system but nothing great really.
megalord, nor sure, but it might be because you keep winning things from desert patrol/robbers/caravans, whatever you fight

My favorite game on Kong. Despite some real issues of balance and polish, no other game here captures my imagination as well as Caravaneer. 5/5

Omniscent, I think the battle system is just fine. Fallout-lite. The only things I would list as negatives are the sloppy writing and the lack of objectives. Trading is fun for a while (especially if you experiment with different caravan strategies) but once you're ready for the robber base there is a distinct "that's it?" feeling that sets in. I prefer to treat this game as a sandbox personally. A little more work put into this game, some better writing, a bunch of side quests, etc., and I'd buy it retail for a budget price.

well, we're all entitled to our own opinions twisted. in the graphics department it's not very pleasing on the eyes and the battle system isn't that great. however, the overall concept is pretty good. I'm going to try to start a new save. I didn't get really that far anyways, only like 7 men and 3 carts/mules.
Pakmirin, you save by going outside of a city, and click on the bottom right hand corner. There should be a pop up

A bit hard at the start, using leather back and forth takes a long time to get started,but an overall good game, deserves more badges.
5/5

Great game! Just completed it. Looking forward to a follow up. Raising the 5 mil has 'hard' badge written all over it. haha
**AdrianHiitman** you've got plenty of time if you're caravan has only got cars/jeeps/quads. Means you're moving at 20km. good luck!

In the battle screen you can hold the pressing of mouse button on direction arrows and they will move faster than normally dragging the mouse over the arrows.

O_O, 'Francesca' getting 'arrested'... it never happened to me..., Do you have any other save file that would serve as a backup file to bring yourself back to time before you met Francesca?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I got the pass from Pierre but always find that Francesca arrested. 2 days! That is too short. I have to wait for one day to have my pass finished in Smerd. As a result, Shepperd has no idea.

Now I have, but I have to wait for one day. I always come back to Fort Goks with my own pass from Smerd and found that she was arrested. Any better tips?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
about the pass you have, do you mean the one Francesca gave you, or have you gotten it from Pierre Seton? Pierre Seton the forger lives in Smerd.

Adrian, did Sheppard tell you to go to Diep Gat? Try going to the place and see if there's a house (like Francesca's) in the town.

Quite regrettable that I stepped into the Warmonger's Territory... But nevertheless, my fallen good soldiers, your sacrifices will never be forgotten. We Will Prevail! Hail Desert Patrols and Fail Oswald Raff! *Marches on to fight the rest remaining Army Regiments*

This game has depth and the player has a lot of freedom. Great concept too. The combat system is a bit rough, larger battles last quite long.. some automatic orders eg attack nearest would be useful.. Looking forward for new works!

Adrian Go to Fort Goks and Talk to Francesca and she'll give you ideas.
Then go back talking to John Sheppard and he'll tell you to go to Diep Gat to talk to an Ex-general of the Government's military. Talk to the old man, and go back to Verdammter Platz, talk to John, and give the book to the old man to receive the Missile Manual.
