This is an educational strategy game about the Silk Road. It’s somewhat difficult. To win you must make it to the end of the route with at least one member still alive. This game is inspired by “The Oregon Trail”. Read below for some tips.
\nIf you log in with NEAR (mainnet) and you have Mr.Brown NFTs you get Mr.Brown as your first member of the caravan and he’s sturdier than the average member. In addition, you get a score multiplier depending on how many Mr.Browns you have!
\nFun management/trading game.
\nI liked the marauder/hunting mini-game :D
\nI didn’t realised clothes were important in my first playthrough so I got a lot of sunburns xD
\nI noticed that many of boxes (areas or buttons) where text was meant to appear only worked if I zoomed in my browser to 140%, otherwise they were displaced.

I also had the issue where the text wasn’t aligned quite right, but it didn’t impact my playthough.
\nArrows/prey are too plentiful. My strategy boiled down to hunting and selling the food at the next city for huge profits. I still lost a bunch of people and camels along the way, but I guess that’s just the cost of doing business.
\nI’m painfully aware of the 13K limit, but party members having traits that help with certain events (e.g. reduces load, heals sick party members, makes camels walk faster, finds camel feed as you travel, expert marksman, reduces prices) would have made losing them feel more meaningful.

\nI like the concept of random events. The unpredictable element makes the game more interesting! A little suggestion is that, maybe the logs can directly scroll to the bottom to see the most recently events!

\nIn the first campaign I lost all the camels and I walked for a long time until I realized to buy them again and then I just flew :).
\nIt seemed to me that when I clicked the left mouse button during the campaign and the robbery started in the next frame, the arrow had already been fired.
\nAlso, I didn’t really understand how to trade, so I only bought what I needed, and when I didn’t have enough money, I sold what I bought earlier, probably because of this such a disadvantage :D.
\nInteresting idea, congratulations!

\nI’m a bit confused with what to do. Clearly there are some products I must buy at the market before heading off, but this was really not clear, so I starved.
\nThe font you used doesn’t exist in my system, so all the text is overlapping and hard to read.

\n14795miles in 288 days, score of 542160. I think once I worked out that arrows are cheap, you can hunt as much as you like, and trade goods prices only go up, I worked out the optimal strategy was sprint for the next town to preserve camel food, then hunt like crazy in the last 100 miles, sell the food in town, stock up on the camel food (what do they eat, truck loads of caviar?!), and then dump the rest into goods. Scale up camels as you go to keep the load light. Other than random illnesses (I had dengue fever as a kid too!), it was smooth sailing.
\nI think it looked pretty neat, but like others I had font issues that meant I probably wasn’t seeing what you intended. The music was simple, but worked great. Also, hit the nostalgia spot :)

The login function wasn’t operating for NEAR but i noticed in its github repo the integration, so it may be an error on my side. The UI needs better scaling, had to zoom in 250% for the buttons to look normal (again could be my end, im using a 1440p resolution)
