HI, The original castaways 1 has a multiplayer mode. Its near the bottom of the screen where you configure your character for a new game. You can toggle between multiplayer co-op and single player. In multiplayer you press the / key to talk and pressing shift / will tell you whom is connected at that time. If someone is connected they show up as a peasant and their job cannot be change. You can also send goods to other players if you have a merchant cart. Castaways 2 requires a Kaldobsky account. But that is only if you wish to play online. All online playing is multiplayer and as stated it can be ppv. You can get attacked and might lose some of your stuff. Plus I believe the game gets reset first of the month to put everyone back on the same level. However, if your not wanting to play multiplayer there is a single player mode that does not require the subscription. You can make saved files and load what you want and come and go as you please. The biggest problems with single player is problems is your limited to just one map and no missions. You just improve your plot of land and once that’s done you just reset. HTH.

Hi, Ari, You only need the paid subscription if you want to do PVP. If you want to play _with other people, you need Castaways (2c). This allows you to play all the missions in multi-player mode. Any other players currently playing will appear as a peasant in your settlement. I can’t remember if you can change their jobs or if you’re stuck with whatever job the other player picks.

Hi, Christina, No, I'm not. I haven't decided whether I really want to pay to do the on-line stuff. Isn't it $25 a year or something? I'll have to look at that. I'm playing Castaways 1, if that makes a difference.

While it ties up a worker, the chef gives more food energy than a regular cook. Are you playing the multi-player version? If so, I can sign on and help you.

Hello, everyone, So, I finally beat mission 2 of Castaways yesterday! Yay! Unfortunately, as the subject suggests, I'm having trouble upgrading soldiers to knights or rangers in mission 3. What the heck is going on? I could swear I used to be able to do this in missions 1 and 2, by pressing shift+u on the soldier in question and then selecting what I wanted them to train as, but nodw that just says I don't have any tomes. So, in the later missions, do I need tomes to upgrade soldiers? If so, that is really annoying. I have armor and a cloak in my barracks, so I'm really not sure what the problem is, for pity's sake! Can anyone help me out? I also seem to have people constantly on the edge of starvation, but luckily no one's died from that yet. I seem to have made that go down a little by making sure I have enough houses for everyone, but that's only helped a little. I know I have to have more than one farmer per farm, i.e., have 3 farmers for 2 farms, but I only have so many people to work with at the moment, so farming optimally has to get put on the back burner for the moment. I'm trying to keep the damn enemy off my back right now, and that's tricky to do when the attacks are outpacing my population growth! Lol I really love this game! I can play it for hours and not get bored! :) Thanks, Ari -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
