Title: Newb Question.
Post by: winvirus on March 31, 2007, 08:52:00 pm

Hey. I just started this after the "burning" loss of my fortress. (Ignore the bad pun.) Anyway, I can't figure out how to enter places on the world map. I go over a place. and there's nothing I can DO to get INSIDE. Help?

EDIT: Okay, new question, because I'd rather not triple post. But where the HELL do I find merchants?! I've searched all over towns...is there anything specific I should be looking for?

Oh, nevermind. After mindlessly slamming every keyboard button frustratedly, I found out. For anyone else who doesn't know, which everyone probably does except me because I suck, it's >.

For the merchants they are in little buildings... they have stuff in them and you need stuff to trade. They are not very friendly.... I recommend bashing their faces in

The secret to adventure mode is throwing rocks and sneaking around in circles until you're superman and then just killing absolutely everyone.

This is also the secret to winning the Grand Theft Auto game series.

Maybe Toady could get a contract with Rockstar?

Frick, so THATS how you enter areas!  I hammered every key (except the shift modifiers) and gave up to come here.

I've looked all over the place, anyone have a list of controls for Adventure Mode?  I've been pressing random keys so far, but I really need a list of what each key does.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: okay, I found the help, i didnt knowit contained the key list for AM (i thought it was the same help in Fortess Mode).  Still though, a list somewhere would be useful, with some descriptions and all...

Hit the ? button and you'll get a help screen.  The 'key bindings' menu will show you what all the keys are.
