500$ starting money stretches a bit further than I expected.Anyone who graduated third grade in the US should be familiar with this game it dominated every Apple computer in the school system by pretending to be educational. We have $255.71 remaining I found that 100 lbs of pickles cost like 4$. We also bought a shotgun with 10 boxes of shot. We bought a standard rifle, 10 boxes of bullets, and 10 kegs of gunpowder. I'm not sure if not buying them means you eat all the bears you kill raw or not, so I got some. I also found that there are options for eating and cooking utensils. There are many, many options for food and medicine, whatever you can think of there is certainly some kind of analogue I can draw and purchase. I also found that the dry goods store sells entire whole-ass horses for 82$. I selected a banjo and a harmonica for maximum home on the range power. We now have 500lb of bacon, and some 20 sacks each of dried vegetables and fruits. The blood-mad wolves of the untamed wild haunt their dreams nightly. It seems to be warning us nervously about the terrible dangers along our path, and begs us to stay here, in human civilization, where it is safe. The animal in question is most certainly a dog. The game has no time limit, you can literally camp out in the middle of the Rockies if you feel like it until everyone starves or dies of old age. Unfortunately we have already set out in May. Spare wagon parts can save a lot of hassle, but let's try not to need more than two wheels and an axle, and that much only if food budget allows.Ī musical instrument I think helps morale? Maybe a fiddle or a harmonica? Something lightweight. I think the most effective way to heal sickness is rest/moving slow and extra rations (meaning more than the half meals I mandate when starting out) but I think you can set out in April? May sounds late to my recollection, we won't have as much trail time to spare. We need a protein and a fruit/vegetable for nutrition but variety within groups is a waste of money. Look for preserved foodstuffs with a good price-to-weight ratio, like that bacon (although without seeing more pages I can't say it's the best). Although we didn't pick up any tracking, shooting, or even foraging skills so living off the land will be that much more challenging. We MUST have whatever seems to be the most common rifle, so we can easily pick up replacement ammo in trading down the line. I recall basing my expeditions on pickles and ammo. Unless it's a dog, I can't really tell at this angle. Filling is the maximum, and also the default.
Paces range from 8 hours to 12+, and rations range from bare-bones to filling. Oh, also we can set pace and rations for the group. I included a shot below of the first page of food prices so you can get an idea of what things cost. These stores have a ridiculous DF-level variety of period-appropriate goods ranging from multiple kinds of firearms, clothing, miscellaneous items, foods, medicines, (including lol-reliable things like old-time "elixirs"), and musical instruments or furniture. We currently have nothing but our wagon and our oxen. Thoughts on what to buy? We've got two general stores, a pharmacy, and a gunsmith in town. We have 456$ after buying 4 oxen, which is not all that much.
