Note that the character's current equipment choice will

most appropriate equipment for a situation (i.e. before a
combat a character will automatically switch to combat

Another note of the disadvantage of using heavy armor as
travel equipment. Heavy armors reduces the travel speed

for example, guards at city gates might not let one pass.
Also being heavily armed is unfitting for meeting nobility

To go searching for a certain target. Often, you "find"

will be deducted from that order. When something is

Yes

There are two main hurdles that must be overcome when
searching for something. First, there must be enough time
and people available to scour the the possible location. In

the case of an area being scoured that has thick
vegetation or is very hilly this may take many, many days.

A single person searching in a forest area will need about
three months to make a complete walk-through. Then it
must be considered that the target being sought may be

well hidden and the search party must have appropriate
skills (scouting, perception) of at least the same level as

the "hiddeness" of the target. If not, the chances of
success will be greatly reduced.

true then the group or character will simply plunder the
fields of local farmers (if present) instead of hunting. This is

easier but also considered illegal.
<only legal game?>

This parameter is of type True/False ($YES/$NO). If you
leave it empty it will take the default value False. If the the
group or character is in civilized lands and hunting is

reserved for the local lord then the character or group will
only hunt whatever legal game there is (usually small

game). This will result in less food foraged than otherwise
possible but without the danger of being caught as
poachers.

<step_directions> - a sequence of digits describing the

No

compass directions for each area along the travel route,
e.g. "12111343". Note that you must enclose this
sequence in quotation marks.

<minimum_speed>- the minimum travel speed category
which the player wishes to achieve, e.g. humans usually

have 2; the default is to accept any speed the travelers can
acheive
Note that you give a minimum speed and the travelers

cannot achieve this speed, they will stop their travels!
<travel_mode> - the travel mode which the player wishes

to use (see table of possible travel modes). Possible travel
modes are:
$WALK, $FLY, $SAIL, $SWIM, $TELEPORT. If this

parameter is missing any available travel mode will be
used.

<enforce_travel_mode?> - whether or not the above travel
mode should be used at all costs, which means if it is not
possible then not to travel at all; the default value is $NO.

<night_travel?> - whether or not the player wishes to travel
by night or not, the program will decide what to do if this

parameter is missing.

ambiguous then prefer to take the downstream arm of the

river; the default value is $NO.
<prefer_left_stream?>- if a travel route along a river is

ambiguous then prefer to take the left arm of the river if set
to $YES, otherwise take the right arm; the default value is
$NO.

<use_roads?> - if $YES roads will be used, if $NO roads
will not used (thus avoiding passage toll); the default value

is $YES.
<pay_tolls?> if $YES passage tolls will voluntarily be paid,

Important Notes:
- When giving this order the target of the order must be by
itself in an area, e.g. it cannot be inside a group or

habitation. Check the "current location" of the target in its
status report. The target must have been given orders to

beforehand. This does not happen automatically.
- Other orders can be executed whilst traveling since this

does not take up all of a travelers time. About 20% of a
day can be spent on other orders.
- If all travelers of a group want to use mounts, but this

would slow down the group as a whole (e.g. because the
horses would be overloaded), then nobody gets to use a

mount.
- It is useful to declare a guide or scout for a group of
travelers, especially with larger groups, otherwise you

might need 50% more time to reach your destination. Use
the order assign_duty() to do this.

This order works exactly the same as a move-command
but the step directions are calculated from the coordinates

of the target's location on the first day of its execution. The
moving character or group must know the location of the

do while inhospitalized ?

No
Yes
No

target (see note below) and it must be located on the
same map. The step directions are a direct line from the

moving character or group to the target's location (no path
optimizing is implemented!). If the target's location is not

No
No

known then the order fails. Also note that the route is not
altered anymore even if the target moves during the course
of the order.

The parameters are the same as in the move order, except:
<target>

Any game object that can have a proper location. You can
also directly enter a pair coordinates if you like. This is

done as two numbers with a forward slash separating the
two like in this example:

move_to("c#john","23/17")
character john moves to the coordinates 23/17

Note:
For purposes of this order a character "knows" a target's

location if it belongs to the same game position or the
same alliance with informational exchange, or else the
target is located in the character's region of origin and is

not too well hidden, or else the character has "hidden
place knowledge" of the target, or else the target is not

hidden at all and not too far away (about 400km if on land
or 1000km at sea, double these values for habitations). For
groups, the leading character and any of its guides are

consulted.
If you are unsure if your characters knows the target's

location simply give the target coordinates directly into the
order instead. This always works then.
