Japiedmont - I find Hara is usually best, though you may need to take a load of crude oil up there to get things started. After finishing the game I occasionally found that fuel and crude disappeared from all economies, which forced me to go back to pack animals.

Easy way to kill ninjas for high AP-low HP people: Stand between Animals and fire with rifle until they get close, and then shoot them with shotgun. 2nd guy stands behind you and kills anyone that tries to flank. Killed 7 ninjas with 2 people using this. No damage.

if you dont have food you will eventually die especially early on. usually by the time you have cars you move to fast for the food to really be a problem if one city doesnt have it and you could always buy extra if you know a town produces alcohol b/c they might not have any food

I really like this game, I just think its a real shame that its so short.
There are easy routes you can go to end up stupidly rich / powerfull. Hell, if you just make it to Quabba with like 10k cash you're going to be untouchable in under an hour.

@nickconsumption: Also another option is to assault someone else to rob then of their food/water/forage if you're running low. Anywhere that isn't betwen Caganel and Merdin is a potential place for killing Bandits that carry food, forage and water.

@Darthgabs: True that food is not important, you can make a travel of the distance betwen Poca Cosa and Drushlak without having to worry on dieing because of the HP. But you aren't on either of these if you don' have food, you're most likely arround Qubba if you can't find food to be bought. If you didn't run out of food while you were still on the way and you haven't started yet to lose hp due to it's lack then you can either go to any other city so long as you have a lot of hp. Worst scenary was considered on my comment, in that you already started losing hp, you have a large caravana with any kind of animals and you have a whole lot of henchmans to protect it. You want to go without food to the nearest location? Sure you can try, buy some medicines, have a lot of health complements and good doctors and you can go days without having to worry about food, but either way you'll end dieing since the more time you waste without food is worse.

nickconsumption ignore that, water is far more important than food, you stand every chance of gettin somewhere with water, food and forage aren't that important. trust me.

@Nickconsumption: When you get into that situation you either deband your caravana and get rid of everything untill you can reach another town or you restart the game.
@Tirpitz11: Go to options while on caravana screen and you'll get the option to save.

What am I supposed to do when I pull into a town and there's no food or forage to buy? I can't make it to the next town without restocking.

bouwmeester you just suck at the game go QQ
triptz you cannot save in a city
and mebe12345 i would recommend a sniper and an assault rifle its more universal
and if you char can only carry 1 weapon and ammo *cause your str is to low* get an M4 or a LMG
an on the final battle vs the army you should have a sniper and an RPG

For my caravans, I chose mainly camels and only very late in the game I made a caravan of Hummers, 15 of them to be sure. ;-) Camels restrict you to a very slow pace which means you having to fight every robber out there. On the plus side, it helps to build your characters skills, find some money in fighting robbers, and practically not have to worry about large quantities of forage and water, giving the Camels consume very little of it. The best carts for the mules come at 80kg of weight and give you 3x the capacity of the animal or so. But such carts can only be found in Verdammter or such expensive and dangerous places. I bought three of them when I found them for the first time in Verdammter. Those carts with the mules gave me cargo capacity of over 600kg, which is twice the amount of the Camel's 300kg. That said, when you are not short on money, Camels make the logistic simpler, and your Caravan people tougher. ;-)

One good weapon coupled with the rifles at the beginning is the Scimitar as it can cause damages of 7 points or so. So until you get your M1 Garand or Springfield in order, you may help to save your caravan with the Scimitar as well.

When you leave a town, finding the angle and clicking to head there, click on the options menu on the bottom right corner and save it on the first slot. During the trip, you might face lots of robbers and you could save the progress on the second slot until you are pretty sure you can override the first slot with a new save. Long journeys might mean more robbers to kill so it's more dangerous. A place to go to sell expensive stuff which is dangerous is to Verdammter Platz. But then you should be ready to face up to 14 robbers at a time. So beware. Finally, sure there are some glitches in this game that may appear every now and then, but many of us have played it just fine for several days/weeks.

Only in the very beginning do you save on buying more food, forage and water. You should not save on those things because once you run out of them your people become sick which is expensive to treat at doctors and hospitals. Much more expensive than the price of food and stuff. Stock up on good rifles M1 Garand or something which uses the same ammo of the Springfield you start with. Do not attack any other caravan when living in the first three cities and you should be fine. Your caravan could do with two or three people just fine in the first cities and it will help to build up their skills for later. Things to look for in a character include the action points or AP. The more, the more the characters will be able to shoot and walk.

When starting a new caravan, here's a recipe: hire the $550 guy, buy him a small $23 hunting knife, buy the 20 liters water recipient, buy 3kg of food, buy 11kg of forage, fill 19L of water, buy 0.02g of medicine, with the rest of the money buy leather and head to Caganel straightaway to sell the leather and buy shoes which then you are going to sell at Drushlak.
