I think there should be more valuables with a higher price, to compensate.

While not a suggested solution -- it's basically a workaround -- what you do in-game, now, for items that would take a ridiculous amount of water/tradegoods to buy is to simply make a huge pile of them right beside the trader.

When it's time to make the deal, you pick them all up and initiate conversation -- you can talk and trade even if you're carrying multiple times your carry weight.

As for the getting, lower-depth dungeons carry plenty of junk that sells (or sold, but quantity has a quality all its own~) for plenty. It's easy even for a high strength character to run out of capacity multiple times in a single dungeon, at which point you recoil out, dump off the vendor junk, and go back in for round two. It's a matter of patience (presuming that you're not at risk of death at the depths you're "farming") more than anything else.

yeah, that makes sense.

Also- Can the temporal fugue clones be programmed not to use disintegration when you're next to them? Especially when there are no enemies in range. Grrrr.

also also- I just got Confused. So thats what an acid trip is like.

Inescapable areas? you can dig through walls. slowly, perhaps, but still- how do you end up in an inescapable area?

A walled off room surrounded by Fullcrete. That stuff is extremely hard to get through if you don't have acid or something similar.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I've completely looted Red Rock. It took me at least twenty trips with my str-focused char. I have a REALLY high amount of drams.

A technique I use is to buy all the trade items I can before I accept drams. Trade items cost more than their weight in drams, so it's useful for investing in. I've got maybe 700 drams in water and perhaps 2000 in trade goods + random junk on my last save. I probably have a lot more than that, I'm just guesstimating.

So I want to play this, but when I try and use the .exe, it just goes to the startup window and freezes.  I've already run the setup thing, how long should I expect it to take before the game actually starts up?  Under 6 minutes, or over?

Shouldn't take longer than a minute.  You're using that file called XRL right?

yeah, XRL.exe, all the files are in the CoQ folder.  If I had to guess what the problem is, I'd say that my computer might not be able to handle the game.

It uses quite a bit of RAM, but if you can handle Dwarf Fortress then I'm not sure how to help you.
