What is it?
"Caravan" is a hardcore text adventure about resource management. You need to reach the city in a bottom right corner of a map. The more gold or goods you have the more events happens with you on a road. You also have guards who can protect you, but they need food. The more food and guards you have the slower your caravan is. In a nutshell: the more you have, the worse it is.
How to play?
You control a black camel (it represents your caravan). At the start, you are in the top left corner of the map. You need to get to the bottom right corner. Click on the city to move there (you can move to the cities connected by the road only). You can buy food, goods, and guards in cities, but only goods can be sold. That's it!
Easier version
Since a lot of people complained about the high difficulty I rebalanced a game a bit and uploaded the new version. What has been changed?
- Food consumption is less per guard (death from starvation is now less possible, but still persists :) )
- Prices volatility is now less in each city (it means that prices will be closer to average balanced values, but still random)
- Fixed bugs with some quests where you should die if you don't have enough soldiers but you didn't
- Some grammar fixes in quests (but there are still a lot, English is not my native language, sorry :( )
