We'll slow it down some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaALiLITsoY Wait, why are they playing the final cutscene? .png) Here's Sutter's Fort. We've got one more change here, but we already decided we were going to Sacramento. .png) Oh. It was 1 mile away. .png) We get an eerily prophetic land claim to make our own. .png) Our final score. Quite respectable, especially since we avoided any deaths along the way. .png) And our family actually became successful for many generations! This ending is bullshit. Nobody died. Nobody suffered any real hardships. We just ate bacon and looked at the trees and had a good time. gently caress it. We're going to do this again. The hardest way possible.

Wait a second. We didn't get there with even a single grandfather clock did we? I can't believe we failed so badly. This is even worse than that game I played where everyone died before the first landmark.

In today's money our gold strike would've been worth ~$50,000 in total. Congrats goons, we can retire  At least we wised up and got our self onto a board of some sort so we could dip our hands into some of that sweet, sweet frontier graft.

That was an anticlimax. Still, kinda nice to see a run of Oregon Trail go as well as it possibly could have.

I'd say a run where we always do the worst possible options during illness and injuries but then we'd be dead forty miles from Independence

An Oregon Trail run where everything went smoothly, more or less, hmm... that was, unexpected... Guess a bacon and coffee diet worked after all.

Based on the value of the double eagle at the time, golf was worth about $20.57/troy ounce. A $1,540 gold strike would therefore be something like 74.4975 troy ounces. By that standard, that’s more like $125,000. It’s still not that great, but I guess it’s a nice bonus.

The thing that struck me about that run is that the least disease RNG I've ever seen in these games. A couple light bouts of cholera and that's it? Yeah, bullshit. We need a disaster run to show all the ways this game can gently caress you with disease.

Hard run is starting as early as possible year wise, and timing the departure to hit winter over the mountains, right?

This has been less dangerous than that one guy's attempt to walk coast to coast with a bicycle cart. And he didn't even make it out of the park he started in.

Yeah, either I was terrible at this game as a child (totally possible) or earlier versions of this game were a lot less forgiving. Did we even have anyone get sick, let alone maimed or killed? All that whiskey and laudanum stockpiled for nothing. For our next trip we should force everyone to do a handstand and walk across the country that way. Or pull the wagons ourselves or something. David Corbett posted:Gold inflation is weird. That makes sense. I realized after posting that the rate if inflation and value of gold likely started to differ at some point but didn't have a chance to dig into it. Still we got barely more than what we started this journey out with. Can only hope those 666 acres we got wasn't worthless scrub land on the side of the Sierra Nevadas.

It's very much like XCOM in that you can do everything right and always make the right decision and still get hosed over. You can drown in 1.5 feet of water. You can swamp your wagon on every river and tip on every hill even if you pick the correct method of traversing every time. You can get sick, make the right treatment, and still die.

Next run I say we min/max all ages (half goonmas and goonpas, half goonbabies), horses to pull the largest possible wagon, and survive solely on whiskey, bacon and laudanum. Oh, and obviously, whichever profession starts us with the least money and skills.

I’m stunned we did so well. Not only did nobody die, IIRC we only had one decision even go wrong - the failure to ford the river...and even that didn’t really hurt us. Start this poo poo anew and let’s fail in style. I’d like to be one of the future (past?) party members if there’s space.
