okay I've finished the game now. Lots of fun and I'll certainly do it again. my completion time was 267 minutes. once I knew you could turn an explored location into an outpost, things worked far better.
In general a really awsome game, though i wish it'd been longer with more items and different locations and more stuff to find on the map. Beware! spoilage ahoy! I don't know what Aaron means regarding south or finding helpful stuff. I found enemies got harder the further I went from the village, but things didn't particularly change regarding loot , the battlefield is the highest quality loot area and the place to get the carbine and batteries, but other than that I didn't find anything different apart from the two story locations, the wrecked ship and the swamp. funnily enough as I said regarding exploring, I think I probably just did everything the wrong way around since I didn't know you could get water from explored locations making it harder to go to further away places. When I realized I needed alien alloy for the ship I just sold off all my firs, teeth and scales to the merchant, and wound up with a ship with 29 hp, (you can tell how much resources I had, particularly since I traded some firs for teeth). I wasn't sure if 29 would be enough but it turned out it was, ----- just! the only weerd occurrence I had was o I only gave the chap in the swamp one jewel, so only got one comment from him, but then I seemed to have more for some reason, but couldn't find the swamp again. I also notice the amulet has indicators on the map so I wonder if there is an encounter I missed there, particularly since the ending with the starship was a little grim, ---- it would have been nice to take my slaves off with me, and I do wonder what happened to the builder in the end. A great game though and one which will certainly get a db page, I also particularly hope it gets expanded or even a sequal. Beware the grue!
