Re: [Audyssey] KODP?
So I went ahead and bought K ODP for the iPhone. From what I have read so far in the manual, it looks quite involved, and I suspect that I am going to be extremely pleased. I love a challenge. I love a complex game like this.

Re: [Audyssey] KODP?
Hi Tobias. I'd actually recommend an Ipod for that, there are lots of really great games out for Ios. i'll confess that while I have found multiple really handy things my Iphone does such as satnav maps, siri, number storing etc, I bought it primarily for games and haven't regretted sinse.

Re: [Audyssey] KODP?
Hi. King of dragon pass is for Ios. There was a pc version back in the early 2000's, but it is entirely inaccessible. An android port is being developed but I'm not sure on it's accessibility (I know people have contacted the developers but I don't believe anything came of it), so thus far it's probably just out on Ios. I'd highly recommend it though, it's a truly awesome game and a very unique experience.

Hi zack. i've got no problem with the manual on the Iphone, and I can see the point with screens, it's just that it makes it a little difficult to either a, read stuff when I'm playing, or b, look stuff up with the find function when a situation arises in the game.

I'll answer your questions as best I can, although some of them are easier to answer than others. :) The thing to understand about exploration is that the map is large, large enough to require scrolling to see it all. It is, more or less, three screens by three in all directions. The way to usually handle it is to put your finger on the screen and move it around slightly, you will find it easier to contextualize things that way rather than flicking. You can travel over hexes in a particular direction and get a sense of which way your people have yet to go. Also realized that the map is filled in not only by your explorers, but by your emissaries as well. So there may be a surprising amount of the map listed as explored already, but you never actually visited with an expedition. That doesn't mean it isn't worth visiting though… As a final note, your exploration cross always starts on your tula, and it is possible to find it on the map, just more trouble than it's worth sometimes. Do you have the Pathfinder blessing? That can be very helpful. Speaking of blessin
Re: [Audyssey] KoDP updates
Hi Dark, The manual provides some insight on this topic, as it happens. Any less than about seven goods or cows per sacrifice is seen as stingy, or at least unlikely to work. Fourteen or larger is a safe minimum. Any less than 10 or 15 goods or cows in gift giving is also stingy. As for exploration, I think that when you go to the map screen and hit the explore button for the first time you end up near the northwestern part of the map in most cases. You probably would have to scroll to see your exploration cross. I believe your clan typically ends up in the central southern area, although the precise position varies from game to game. Don't under estimate the value of just exploring your tula either, which you can do by not double-tapping another hex before sending the expedition off. I hope this helps a little bit. I should also point out that the values for gifts above are traditional, and under exceptional circumstances you might have to give substantially more. in particular, tribe formation is a very expensive prospect.

Re: [Audyssey] KoDP updates
Hi zack. I get that the map is large, and indeed I do have the advantage of seeing which hexes are explored visually sinse the explored ones are coloured while the rest is black. My main problem is actually finding the exploration cross, usually I just double tap on a hex, but I have no idea where realtively speaking that hex is in relation to my tula so have no idea if I'm sending people next door or halfway across the land. Any idea on how to get to the exploration cross from the menue button when you first start the map? I don't yet have the pathfinder blessing, and that's mostly because of lack of stuff to sacrifice, sinse I'm never sure what is a reasonable sacrifice and what not, and have been going at least 5 cows a time, oncemore some info on economy and prices might help here sinse I don't want to annoy the gods by being stingy, in fact generally this is my most serious problem in the game, you keep being asked how much of this do you want to expend on something without any clear knolidge of what is or is not a reasonable price, (it's not as if the Gods lable things). I've tried the ring, but the only time I tend to get any sort of vague nnumerical information is with farming. Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] KoDP updates
well things are improving slightly, I have a humacti on my ring who is just plane awsome! with renowned combat and lots of clout, and he virtually single handedly routed the trolls in a skirmish. thanks to a couple of good omens, and I even persuaded the herani to be friends. I did however make a bit of a bodge with exploration and sent an expedition off into the wild blue yonder never return. I believethis was because though I thought I was exploring an unknown hex comparatively close to the regions I'd previously explored, it was actually off somewhere else. One real problem I have is though i can tell which hexe's are explored and which aren't, I can't find my own tula on the map at all, and thus have no idea how far or distant anywhere is, it's weerd actually, I see lots of other clans, but not mine! :D. Of course I might have just missed mine on the map, sinse there are a lot! of hexes. any suggestions? I've just been flicking through the hexes, but obviously that's not ts. As to advisers, I'm really quite amused by their different personalities. My chief is a no nonsense sort of fellow, while my priestess of the earth goddess seems to want to chop up all men and make them into furtilizer to help the crops grow! actually she rather reminds me of a feminist lecturer I used to have, :d. that's one thing I really like about the game, it doesn't feel! like playing resource management so much as managing actual people. I also have one more question about magic and blessings. I get that sacrificing for mysteries lets you learn more blessings and sacrifice for them later, but how do you learn the mysteries that help you in the hero quests? or do you just need to keep sacrificing for mysteries until one of the gods decides to give you information? despite all this though, I am really enjoying the game, though I don't think this will be a particularly auspicious clan, still hard games can be rewarding! :d. I'm only sorry that I can't export my clan's sarga, sinse I don't currently have any E-mail accounts setup on my iphone. it's a shame I can't save it just as part of the game and then mail it later, or even just have it in a stats file on an internal game score board or something similar the way entombed holds past games. I would almost! considder getting twitter just for Kodp related things. Ps: appologies if this is a repeate, I just got a message saying my original was too long sinse I forgot to chop the rest of the conversation off, but I think this was the one it meant.

Re: [Audyssey] Kodp questions
Hi Zack. I didn't know about the hover feature, that will help a lot. I haven't mucked about with vo's options, so I assume everything is still at it's default there. as to the sliders, yes, I'm flicking not double tapping them, an oversite on my part. Well bakc to seeing my clan do what they're supposed to! Beware the grue!

You would probably remember turning them off, and they are on in any case by default. One way to toggle them is to add them to your voiceover rotor, and adjust them that way. As suggested though, leave them on. Secondly, the only screens I'm having major trouble with at the moment are the screens that list your nobles, like the ring reorganize screen, and the screens for choosing leaders of exploration parties or caravans or the like. the basic problem is I don't know how to check people's info.If I double tap on a person's name, it selects them and I can't find where to look for their information such as their stats and what god they worship. am I just missing something here? I found the similar info about clans on the relations page, but as regards people I can't seem to. You do not have to double tap a person to get their info. Simply hover over them for a few seconds, without moving or otherwise interacting with them, and you will hear their stats and info read out. As a matter of fact, this is a direct consequence of the hints you mentioned above. then, I'm not exactly sure what the filters do sinse I can't really tell what they've done in terms of changing order, and the filter doesn't automatically select someone with next best stats, and i'm not sure if it changes the order of people or even how as regards flicking through them with vo. To use a filter, move to it and flick your finger up and down. You do not actually need to double tap it, just move the finger up and down as though you were assigning battle magic for instance. What they will do is sort the leaders according to the stats selected, so you will find the order changes when you use them. They are particularly handy in reorganizing the ring. I also need to think about this explore button thing, sinse I hit the wrong one during the tutorial and probably sent off a warrior to do an explorer's job! :d. Lastly, a miner point, but when I double tap an adviser on my ring to get their advice, vo gets half way through speaking it then goes back to the person's name and info and I have to find the advice panel again to see what the adviser has said. Again, if there's an obvious way around this I'd appreciate knowing. Unfortunately, this last point seems to be a problem of the way voiceover works. The behavior is a little inconsistent, but if you practice you can eventually get the advice one way or another. I'm not sure if there's anything the developers can do on their side to change that. I'm glad you like the game. :-) I hope you continue to enjoy it, and that this answer has been helpful. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Kodp questions
Hi. well I've got the game, and played through the tutorial and it is awsome! albeit that I have much to learn about the gods, mythos etc. I do however have a couple of more practical questions.
