Hi, i'm a french guy (14 years old so sorry for my bad english...), i just bought the game this afternoon and it looks... GREAT ! (Except the Pathfinding and the camera => Shit).

So i can't understand the combat system, there's a blocking button but even if i don't use it my units can block...

To attack i just need to right click on the ennemy and let them to the job ?

I can't find medic kits !

Where can i join a faction ?


Can you please answer ?

Btw, Good game i will put 9,5 on desura !

Keep up the great work !

the block button will force your unit to JUST block and not attack

yes, when they get the opportunity

nowhere right now, but you can make enemies out of a faction by attacking them

You should always proofread carefully to make sure you didn't any words out.

Need help? pm me or any other mod.

old topic

basically first you need to lure the bandits towards the city guards (they'll do the job and you can try attacking at the same time)
Try raising your def, and when your chara has a high defence, you start attacking

An important thing to note is that if you select the block button not only will your character only block, but their block skill increases 20 or so points, allowing them to block hits better and raise their defensive score. Once their block skill is 20 naturally you shouldn't have as much of a problem.

medic kits can be bought in a shop. Make sure you recruit more characters to make it easier, you cant survive with just one man.

How would you like the camera to be changed?

Currently, joining factions and doing 'quests' or jobs for money are not implemented but I think Chris is planning to add these things into the next update.

Good to see you're taking an interest.

To clarify, you can find them in the sharps marked with a sign of a travelling man with a walking stick. Those shopkeepers sell backpacks and medical kits. I think you might be able to buy them at trading outposts too (marked as circles on the map)

building comes in a later update
first chris is adding intelligence (maybe quests and the like)
afterwards he'll start working on this: Sleeping + healing -> leading to carrying your wounded -> leading to buying buildings -> research + crafting

Okay this game is really cool but actually it's just 5% of it's true capacity, imagine the game in 1-2 years...

It will be amazing !
