For beginners, i found this guide to be quite good :
http://z3.invisionfree.com/UrW_forum/index.php?showtopic=1983

But the "Living in the Wild" course makes a good job at explaining a good parts of the game mechanics through the missions, be sure to follow it instead of the other 2 ones on your first runs

Well apparently that site is pornography so my dad's list of banned domains includes that. Wonder why it would be classed as porn

Fuck.

Alrighty, when I download I'll check that course out.

invisionfree is not a porn domain, it's simply the host of hundred of thousands of user discussions boards (anyone can create for free their own forum with them), UnrealWorld has their forum hosted by invisionfree.

[Iceblaster]

I figured that, just annoyed that it counts as porn in the somewhat vague -I presume- definition of pornography on OpenDNS.

Well it seems that a starting skill at fishing of 86% is a gamebreaker. At this rate I'm gonna have enough food for the entire year by the end of Spring.

Loving the new interruptable jobs mechanism.

Has made it easy for me to set up a wonderful trapfence at a migration chokepoint. I have so much elk, reindeer, bear and pig meat in one week I will survive until next spring with ease. Time to go trade the excess roastsed meat I have stockpiled for all the posessions of the nearby village.

Does meat go bad slowing in cold/really cold weather?
Because that almost seems appropriate.

[MonkeyHead]

Dunno. I tend to dry hundreds of pieces in spring while building a house to smoke it over summer. Only bother with fishing on occasion in winter, and agriculture in the second year.

It doesn't go bad at all, provided the temperature remains below freezing.

[Gamerlord]

Can someone give me some decent tips for trapping? The ones in the help just aren't working for me.

Stick to pits. Spike them if you want easy kills, dont spike them if you want to train weapon skills, and to keep hide quality. Find a migration route (top sign is lots and lots of reindeer tracks). Other than that, find a narrow chokepoint, and load it up with snares, lever traps, fox-traps and deadfall traps. I have had moderate success with traps, but amazing success with pits and long fences.

I drowned again. Gaaaaah.

I really should stop running into water with fatigue meter filled in half... bluh I:

About the bug with villagers/animals disappearing from villages in specific condition, the developer has fixed it for the next version.

If you are thrown out of the village while unconscious the village goes empty.

It's found & fixed by now, and along with it I think I discovered (and fixed) the mechanism which may have caused occasional "ghost villages" in the past.

Same with the problem encountered about bad reputation leaking into other characters, it should be fixed

Reputation tables sometimes seem to get transferred to next (new) character if you save or die and then start a new character without closing the whole game in between.
And if you're unlucky the first village a new character visits starts with reputation levels of the last village the previous character visited.

Prob is I can never find any migration routes OR tracks unless I stumble into the animal on the world map.

I have the same problem.  I generally see trapping as very hit-or-miss.  If a trapping site works, then I keep using it.  If not, then I abandon it.

A feature I really want is to be able to 'mark' locations on the map. You have no idea how hard it is to remember which groves had the healing plants and which had the food plants when I'm up to 70% injured. And I can't always carry around my usual 'first aid kit' of bandages/herbs. I've had some success with cellar-stockpiles holding emergency dried food/herbs/bandages, but I have to restock them every and somehow remember where they all are - if I use a shelter to mark them I forget which little brown dot is my home.
