Hi, Yeah, I don't believe Castaway has ever been rewritten or ported to modern operating systems. The old Dos version is the only version I know of, and I'm afraid I don't have a copy. If I do its probably on an old floppy disk that has died from disuse. Lol. All the same I'll poke around and see

Along this same line, there's a game I've been looking for called Castaway. It was an old text adventure for dos, and I don't think it's been ported to any other systems. From what I remember of it, you wash up on an island after your ship crashes, being the only survivor, and you have to find y

You might be on the right track with that idea. I'll admit, while searching for the solution to these priority problems, I've been pretty much ignoring any solutions that would require me to totally overhaul the existing AI. I think many of us remember back to when the alternative jobs were fi

Good point Brice. Depending on the playing style and strategy of the individual players, missions that are hard for some people would be simple for others, and the other way around as well. This game allows for such differing strategies, there is really no way for me to really know how easy or

That's a pretty good idea, but for the short term I'll just make it easier. If I get around to adding more missions, it does seem like a good idea to insert them between the current missions 2 and 3, and then put mission 3 back to being the original difficulty. I'm still trying to figure out t

There is a big jump in difficulty from mission 2 to 3. Instead of making it easier, how about adding 1 or 2 new missions in between and make this a later mission? Maybe something to get them more prepared is a mission which they have to launch an attack with 5 knights, 5 rangers, 5 pikemen and 5

Lori, wading through a lot of emails after a week's absence, so I don't know if this is answered further up in the list, but if not: Castaways is a different sort of animal from SoundRTS in that you do not directly control your castaways. You assign them tasks, and the game figures out a priority
