Hi Phil, That's a good point. They definitely can't drink the sea water unless they filter the sault out of it by boiling it and collecting the water in a separate barrel. So finding lakes, streams, or boiling the sea water would be necessary for the survival of the castaways. I'd personally like

That's a good idea but the map size would have to be increased significantly to accommodate for the extra bits you would have added in. not that I think that's a problem I love massive maps personally. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org

Hi Phil. While I like the mote digging idea, I'm less certain of the actual water needs. There are various things in castaways, such as washing, mending and making of everyday clothes, dumping rubbish, cobling shoes, rope making making plates or furniture etc that are sort of assumed to be

Hi Tom. no offense, but actually in medeval society people rarely drank streight water, though they did use it for irrigating fields, watering crops, doing laundry etc. Actually though, a standard medeval breakfast would be gruel, and a pint of small beer, or very weak ale (the grieks drank

That's true guys, when I was laying out the game I assumed that drinking water would fall into the category of micro managed things that are assumed to be done by your people. I suppose the general term wine used in the game is less accurate to what your castaways people are probably drinking.

Hi Jeremy, I was thinking mainly of the need for a discovery of a water source to be added. If there is no fresh water source on the map than a well could be drilled. Once created or found, the day to day use of water could be ignored. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you

As I said Jeremy, I wonder if this is another thought for the desasters and events in normal and above difficulty, eg several people get sick from poluted water and you must now use another water source, all travel times temporarily increased, or alternatively floods cause rivers to rise and

Hmm, actually a well is a pretty neat idea. I'll consider adding it, though it wouldn't make a lot of sense in missions 2 or 3, because you are at a very high elevation and wouldn't be able to dig down to the water table. Hi Jeremy, I was thinking mainly of the need for a discovery of a
