I just payed a cop $1000 7 times in 30 seconds, thats $7000 bucks gone because I was in a "protected zone". I should only need to pay once for every time I enter! >_<

I dont understand why my overall capacity is fluctuating while I travel, at first it'll be at 152/260 or something, and halfway there it'll be 150/96... I understand why the first number is going down, but not the second number...

LOVE this game 5/5 after all picture this scenario
you do the rebel base detruction mision on , 2 desert patrol caravans protect you , 8 men - combat engi included , you finish the mision , your main char , and 2 of ur most elite guys are almost dead - engi included , desert patrol gets wiped out after protecting you of around 15-20 groups of rebels 15-20 each of witch they kil at least 6-9 , and in the end more apear and attack you , best chances ??
well your main ( like me ) can still use an rpg with 2 rounds , you have 1 grenadier , my fav is Constantin Sorescu :P he gets fast to str 14 , and you use 3-4 men as meat shields and in the end . worked for me

i believe thew wa to do it is 5 on accuracy 10 on agility and strength
due to the fact that agility affects character movement speed which is very important for speed at early and mid stages of the game and cannot be improved just like the hp of ur character which as arc said also cant be changed throughout ur caravaneer career

Just some tips for those beginning this game: In the character creation screen, decrease all your intelligence points and increase your Accuracy to 7, Agility to 8 and the rest on Strength. Strength affects your hp and is the only this in the game that cannot be improves throughout the course of the game. And the first thing you do when you enter a different town is to refill your water. Second thing you do is to check your ammo supplies. If you find that you're halfway through the desert without any ammo and five robbers attack you, you might as well be gone. Another a last word of advice is to know that after a while, trading around the starting three towns becomes non-profitable. But don't leave that area until you have at least 20k and a hired man.

To earn a little extra cash, buy medicine when it is less than one dollar and sell it to places that it is more expensive. Medicine is very light so you can carry a lot at once, and it helps your guys stay alive also.

While you're traveling to a city, or just roaming the desert, look at the bottom right hand part of your game screen. there will be a wrench. click it, and there will be a "save game" button. :D

Also, the cops are jus draining your cash. They ran right past about 5 groups of robbers who were after me, but still had me pay.

My game just took a dump. I was on the way to Verdammter Platz when it said I was attacked by a police unit. Why the hell did the police show up as Desert Patrol? That shouldn't have even happened! I was heading to Sheppard for the DP story line when that happened!

Remember that for later by the way. When fuel gets around 100k get ready to sell your vehicles the first time you see the car dealership wants them all at once. Dump'em and gather your forage and animals. Do this again. Notice how slow the caravans go around Qubba? They are weighed down with slow-arsed camels. This is why you and the police are depleting Hara. It takes FOREVER for them to get more crude oil, you have to play good samaritan and take a financial hit to help them out. Also if your trade route ever takes you there, pick up 3 or so barrels of crude to bring with you. This will cover the gas you need to buy.

24680: When you first have the capability to get to Qubba, take a crapton of forage with you. Dump it at Qubba, they use very little so it will remain there a long time. Now build up a ton of money doing clothes and shoes to Qubba. Buy all medicine from surrounding cities and crash the market. (don't forget to buy all jewels you can!) Now buy either all mules and small metal carts, all oxen and all big metal carts, or all camels. (It depends mostly on what is in stock.) Get as many of whichever of these you are going to use. Engage in public service, bring nothing but crude oil to Hara, getting food from Goks as you need. This should set the fuel back to normal.
