HOW TO PLAY
|
|
|
|
Javelin is a complex game with simple rules. You can learn everything just by
|
|
playing so go ahead and try! Don't be upset if something unexpected happens or
|
|
you die, since it can be a difficult game, especially on the early levels and
|
|
when you're just starting. This guide leaves a lot unexplained on purpose.
|
|
|
|
You control a squad and do battle around the world. Towns have shops, let you
|
|
rest to recover health and upgrade your units when they have enough experience
|
|
points (XP). You can manage how towns grow or let the game do that for you.
|
|
|
|
Every time you start a new game a new world is generated! If you don't like the
|
|
world you're in you can press SHIFT+q to quit and start a new game. If you want
|
|
to keep your current progress and continue later on just close the game window.
|
|
|
|
There are several types of terrain in the game: plains and hills (easy), forest
|
|
(moderate), mountains and desert (hard) and marsh (very hard). When the game
|
|
starts you will probably want to stay very close to the nearest city and level
|
|
up your party once or twice before adventuring farther. If you're having
|
|
trouble getting far on the map select faster starting units or bring workers
|
|
from towns to build roads and inns on your path.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget that fleeing is an option if a situation ever seems less than
|
|
favorable! Press h in and out of battle for a list of all possible actions.
|
|
You can also press K to configure your command keys in and out of battle.
|
|
|
|
A few nearby locations can help you at the start of the game:
|
|
* Adventurers Guild: trade experience for starting character kits
|
|
* Training Hall: lets you earn experience and feats in a safer environment
|
|
* Temple of Haxor: allows you to do a variety of things during the entire game
|
|
|
|
Your objective is to beat your own highscore, which is recorded when the game
|
|
ends. The end-goal is to vanquish all Temples and reap your reward with Haxor.
|
|
Good luck and have fun!
