more hints and tips
Posted: March 31, 2008 at 07:36
I just played the trial of this game but I'm tempted to get
the whole game.
But I guess I'm dense ... what is
the point of the game? It's not possible to uncover the
whole map before the barbarians come, right? One person gave
a tip to make sure you uncover the Oasis, but the game
itself says not to get selfish and just look for the Oasis;
you've got to look for cities, too.
Should you
try to connect all the cities with roads? What if you don't
have enough followers to make roads? What if the roads would
have to wind around the moutains so far that it makes it
difficult?
Is it good to put more people in the
mines? Should you put 10 or 20? If you put a bunch in the
mines, will you have fewer people to fight the
barbarians?
Do you have to "uncover" the nomad
camps for them to join your followers?
I find the
game hard because every click costs you a turn, and when the
barbarians are coming in 20 turns, it stinks to waste a turn
searching a city and find out there's nothing there. Is this
the point of the game? Using your turns wisely?
BTW, I found GRRL Gamer's strategy guide--very helpful!
