Hi dark, Thanks.
The issue I now have lol is with questing. I try and do a specific quest when all the details in law are shown to me and sometimes the quest goes completely wrong and things happen that shouldn't happen at all. I'm guessing that this is some form of game macanic which comes into play when there is something that doesn't seem to have been met for some reason but as of yet I cannot work out what this is. do you have any ideas on this? Thanks for the tips re trade and sacrifice amounts by by the way that worked a treat. -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 04 January 2014 17:27 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] king of draggon pass help please Hi Darren. Firstly regarding the map, you can swipe to scan around. You always start with your tula selected so sending out an exploration mission will explore your tula itself. To explore more generally, first you need the wanderers blessing (it's virtually a necessity if you don't want exploration missions lost), then if you tap around carefully you should be able to find an unexplored hex somewhere, you don't particularly need to worry too much about physical places or direction, indeed since the map is made up of tessalated hexagons it's a little difficult to do that anyway. This makes your hints a bit of a problem since I've never managed myself when I'm told "explore east" to actually find! east, but mostly this doesn't matter too much. Regarding amounts, 50 cows is waaaaay! over kill for sacrifice or trade, which is likely why your running out. -15 is usually enough, likewise about 20 cows is a generous gift (and giving gifts can be helpful). i would also personally recommend not sacrificing or trading cows if you can help it, since you generally want your herd to reproduce (blessings help with this), usually goods are better for this. I also personally never relied on rading just to get more cows. Generally I found the best stratogy with raiding was perhaps to have two rival clans who I would raide exclusively, and then try to make friends with everyone else.This is why having two rival clans is helpful, since if you do enough successful raides one clan will sue for a cease fire, but it always pays to have someone to test your warriors on. While the manual says most clans will tolerate a raide or two for a bit of sport, it's usually a good idea to not raide your allies, and since you want as many allies as possible a couple of enemies are always good to keep your swords sharp :D. Regarding seasonal calendar, well the manual is about right. I tend to Do trading and exploring in sea season, rading in fire season, more trading or relations in earth season and then use dark season for building and sacrificing, though it isn't a problem if you have to use the season wheel a time or two to skip turns, since things will come up anyway. The best advice I can personally give however is not to ignore blessings. Temples to Venga the wanderer, Heumact or orlanth himself and to the earth mother goddess (who's name I can't recall the exact spelling of), are almost requirements, since you need a prosperous herd for giving gifts and the like, and tough enough strength to defend it, and a temple to the god of trade can be handy too. Generally if you've sorted out your defenses and your herd everything else will sort itself out too, but the early game can be brutal if you don't get in the gods good books as soon as possible. Thus my priorities are personally temples, fortifications, alliances and trade in that order. Then again I have only played balanced clans thus far, I don't know how things change if you play a war or peace clan, since it's likely then that you can change things around somewhat. Beware the grue!
