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...

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.

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.

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.

Actually not that hard to get the badge- Just Poca-Caganel-Drushlak-Poca-Caganel did it for me. Just pay attention to have enough water, food, forage and ammo. My only problem was to find the save button.

Simplest Medium badge ever.
1. Talk to the sheriff to gain your inheritance $1000.
2. Buy 10 food, 20 forage, Buy a Jerry Can and fill it with 20 water.
3. Buy a Donkey + smallest cart. Attach them.
4. Buy as much leather as possible.
5. Go to Cagane, which is the nearest town.
6. Sell all the leather and buy shoes, proceed back to starting town.
7. Rinse and repeat. The whole thing doesn't take more than 2 runs.

@Kosh67 For a level 40 User, what a noob you are, Yeah I know this game is hard and unforgiving and it probably sucks if you don't know what to do but for me this game is pure excellence, All you have to do is learn and be patient since it's like real business that it's slowly and slowly gaining profit

OK, I tried it... first game... read through ALL the TL;DR stuff at the beginning, get to town, jabber with the sheriff, find out where to buy the leather, try to buy 100, won't let me, hit max, OK, got it... You're overweight! You can't leave town until you lose x kg! EXCUSE ME??? YOU'RE the one who said I can buy that amount! OK, fine, whatever... go back to market, sell 2 leather, check map, measure angle and distance to Cagamel, get on my way, half way there, You're overwight! Throw something away! WTF? OK, fine, toss 1 leather... half way again, You're overweight! Throw something away! OK, fine, toss another leather... Go half of the remainder again, Cagamel FINALLY in sight and GAME OVER YOU'RE DEAD Wow... you'd think that the game would AT LEAST let you get to the first city before it kills you off from starvation. Also, instead of forcing us to measure angles and distances, let us just click on the city and be done with it! 1/5... I'm NEVER playing this crap again!

thsi game is bugged and shouldnot be chosen for badge of the day
newest FF, newest flash: I noticed that in some shops the items just went by in one item picture, now I am t the robbers and I can not even shoot them as it jumps from enemy to my own "face" interface screen 10 about 2 or 3 times a second
pictures are useless, as they just show one state of a battle

I have found that the other caravans make great robber shields... I easly got the badge without ever fighting by just following another caravan and letting the robbers run into them by moving so they are between you and the robbers... This trick wont work for the police but you can pick to pay them and they will only take the money you have so as long as you buy cheap stuff or medicine you will not be affected by them at all.

"Okay, men. There's 5 of us and one woman and a completely unmonitored donkey pulling riches. Do we wanna get rich quick or do we want a necrophiliatic quickie?"

It is ridiculously easy to die in this game if you lose track of how many bullets you have, how much food/forage/water you have, or even if you just click at the wrong angle on the map. That said? Once you get the hang of it, it's quite rewarding to go from basically nothing to merchant king/queen.
