Great game!!

However... I seem to have problems...

I recently conquered a town. Looking around, in the information panel, there was apparently 4 DR of water in the town. However, I can't find it ANYWHERE. The well is dry BTW... and there are no buildings I can't access...

Is this a bug? How do I know that it is 'real' water?

My guys died of dehydration, because I can't find enough water... it seems to always disappear...

Also, do I need to have a pump in order to gather enough water to satisfy my people? Or do water wells create enough water on thier own??

[Edit]Capture a town by killing everyone who doesn't want to follow you, then station 1 (or more) guys there... (right click the guy you want to leave behind, and click "Stay Here"[/Edit]

Heyas

I loved playing this game and I only recently played it for the first time too. It may not be fallout but it's got it's own style and charm. What I didn't like about Burntime is when I've setup a fat town with a huge water and food supply and plenty mercs and if I'm on the other side of the map the opposition sometimes moves in and slowly starts killing my mercs one by one.
Otherwise, Burntime has got alot of replay value for me

Mmm I got that radio once, pretty useless. lol. I'd still like to one day find that metal detector thing, sounds cool. I wonder how the metal detector works, does it only detect mines? or does it help you find other cool stuff like parts for the meat trap hehe. Wish I had a snake trap detector.

I noticed while playing, the protection gear was spawning on traders at certain parts of the map, I don't know if it's different for every game but in the game I just played, the mask spawned in the Snake Hills area, the suit spawned in the centre of the map, more or less around the monastery, gloves around the top right area of the map and boots was around about the left most part just above the middle, (above that main city under the gas station town). Oh yeah it won't always be on those traders, you have to go back to those cities a few times but its more likely to spawn in those areas. That's my theory anyway.

Hope that helps anyone having trouble getting their Full protective suit parts.

I have played burntime dozens times since 90s. Recently I found a trick to buy from any merchant for free. Here is the trick:
1. Buy everything you want from a merchant using food, any food (meat, snake, rat, maggot)
2. Re-buy the food from merchant using this formula:
- meat can be re-bought using snake
- two meat -> meat and snake
- meat + rat -> meat
- meat + snake -> meat + rat
- snake -> 2 maggots
- 2 maggots -> rat
The principle here is to re-buy using lower total DR (daily ration).
3. In the end the merchant will only has 1 rat which can not be re-bought using lower food value. But if you also buy another item from the merchant which you do not need, you can re-buy that rat using that item. In the end you will get what you want without cost.

Good to see somebody else is still playing this game. obviously given it some serious time.

I've played this game several times, but i've never found the metal detector. Does anybody know in which area of the map it will spawn?
