AWESOME GAME !! please make the sequel..
when creating ur character, make this composition:
physical shape : 7
agility : 8
accuracy: 9
Intelligence: 1
(it's a war game muscle and skills is way more important than brain, :p)
u can hire intelligence people when u well establish anyway.
with that composition you can fight a group of robber consist of 5 man or more, all by ur self. (make sure u equip enough amo tho)
This is what i do, a different version from what hoverface has made.
after you receive inheritance. Get 40 Kg of Forage, 1 20L Jerry Can (sell your bottles, too), 10Kg of Food; and fill your Jerry. buy Leather, until ur maximum capacity. Don't buy anything else
Then, head for Caganel. Make sure it's 258 exactly when heading out. Fighting robbers IS encouraged, since if you win, you get loot (don't get the glass bottle, they're heavy and ineffective). When fighting, keep a good shooting distance away from the robbers. When you arrive at Caganel, sell your leather. Then, refill your water supply, food and forage (keep it simple, make it enough to made it to drushlak don't overload). Get some shoes after that. When all of that is done, head for Drushlak (shoes are more expensive to be sold at drushlak). DOn't worry about robbers, with ur accuracy skills, u can face anything. beside, facing robbers is a good exercise before you face further and heavier task ahead you.
When you arrive at drushlak, refill your basic supply needs and ammo for your rifle; BUY some MED, and then head to poca cosa. Sell your MED there, refill your resources.
when u have enough money, i recommend to change ur weapon to M1 grand. good and effective weapon. exchange ur donkey to mule, faster and more room for ur goodies, but not as greedy as horse for forage consumption. Got some more cash? I recommend, countryside cart.
do that again . Repeat those steps until you have a good wealth. You're on your own then...
further more, you can choose either u want to be a good guy or bad guy. on dessert patrol side or government side.
another recommendation from me, joined dessert patrol, (until you got convoy from them) head to Qubba. make a deal with the government (oswald somthin' i forgot his name). so u can get extra followers, who know how to shoot riffles excellently. DON'T GO BACK TO VERDAMMTER PLATZ, make ur way to destroy the crimminal bunker. (113' from abu kirdyk, km 130). after that follow the instruction, then u'll ge ur moment to be a crimminal (destroy caravan x) and be a hero (sabotase misil at Fort goks). YOUR NAME WILL BE AT THE NEWS !!!
I've finished the game about 5 times with variation ending, and never get tired of it. Great game!!
