Can't believe I missed this thread for so long. It's slightly weird since OT5 is apparently OT2, but with bad cutscenes and the ability to forage for poo poo that will kill you(as opposed to getting generic 'you found some wild fruits/vegetables!' events). On that note, harvest and eat everything.

JustJeff88 posted:What would be the ultimate difficulty settings to maximise points in this game? I'm only interested in the best possible points at the end without doing metagame challenge things like buying no food to start or loading up on clocks. I know that teacher is the profession with the least money but a 5x score multiplier and that the player doesn't want anyone to die, but apart from that I'm a bit muddy on what influences score. If you can accomplish all of those things at once you've probably played way too much OTII/5 for one lifetime.

As tempted as I am to be a poo poo and shove more poisonous plants down his throat, we should just continue as usual.

Playing a bit of OTII, and I think I solved the mystery of where we suddenly got a bunch of money from. Being a trail guide gives you bonus money($500 in OTII, probably similar/the same in 5), but you only get it after you leave your starting town. I assume it's meant to give you a reason to pick it other than bragging rights, since you gameover if you get fired.

 Incidentally, I don't recommend taking a year & three months to reach your destination, having everyone in your party but you die(mostly of freezing to death, because you don't have matches to light fires with), and also get stuck in the Sierra Nevadas for months thanks to being snowbound/having to trade away all but two of your oxen for spare wagon parts & a length of chain(surprise, there is a mountain you literally can't get past without ropes or chains) and then having to trade away your remaining money so you have enough oxen to move again.

90% of wagon train morale is stopping and resting. If you're snowbound, you're resting a lot, so of course everyone is happy with how you're running things. They're getting to take a really long break where they're definitely not freezing/starving to death themselves. You're showing them what a kind and competent leader you are!  On a completely unrelated note, apparently this is the difference between using ropes/chains and anchoring the wagon when going downhill:

Rest here until the river freezes and we can just walk across it. That'll only take about 4 months, it's fine.

Keep caulking and floating until we find something that's not a river.

I guess the 'eat every plant we come across' strategy didn't convince them of our competency to lead.
