Note  59  Castamir     (06/26/09 07:26)  Wagons

Greetings Arda!     
 
    For your looting needs, you can now purchase wagons to haul your   
freshly pillaged gear around.  These wagons currently come in four
sorts, and you can either pull them yourself or use an equine to do
the hard work for you.
    As long as you are logged on, things stored inside your wagon are 
secure against theft.  After you quit, though, passersby can not only 
loot the contents, but when some time has passed, some bandits can   
take even the wagon itself!
    For more details, please consult 'help wagons'.
 
And remember:
Pillage, then burn!
 
 
In other news:
   
    Due to the difficulty of using a two-handed weapon from a mount,   
the usual bonus doesn't apply anymore.  However, the bonus for using 
weapons well-suited for riding has been GREATLY increased!  You'd
want to train 'riding' and 'mounted combat' where you used to train
'tactics' before.  Of course, your backside must be attached to a
mount for this bonus to apply.
 
    Assassins and thieves may want to include $I in their prompt to
remind themselves when they shouldn't be doing certain actions or
lose hide/camouflage.  Example: "set prompt $I$HE>"
