- MOVEMENT
- ========
- The mechanics of movement are much like rogue. You can use either the
- numeric keypad or the cursor keys to move; a keypad direction preceded
- by a 5 "runs" in that direction until either an object is run into,
- or an "interesting" location is hit. More locations are "interesting"
- if the "RUNSTOP" option is set.
- In most environments, a single move takes but a few seconds of game
- time, depending on the player's "Spd" score, but some places movement
- takes longer. In the countryside environment, the scale is much larger
- than usual (say 5KM/move), so a single move can take hours. (Riding a
- horse can reduce the amount of time taken in the country, depending on
- the terrain being travelled). In the city or village environments, the
- scale is such that a move takes about 30 seconds or so of gametime.
