Use this to enter a building normally without trickery or force. If it is building you cannot permanently reside in, then the character will automatically leave the building again on the same day. In effect, a "visit_building"-order will have been executed. You can permanently reside in any building that belongs to either your position or an ally of a military alliance, or else if the building is an inn. If you reside in an inn you will need to pay a daily fee but you will automatically be supplied (i.e. you won't use up any of your food).

anywhere outside a dungeon |
Enter and explore a dungeon. This is the standard (and only) order for adventuring through ruins, lairs, monster dens, etc. Only groups of up to about 10-20 people at most can execute this order. You will usually need someone with the skill adventuring, construction, mining/surveying (for caves) or discover/disarm traps (for buildings) to actually find the entrance.
|
| find |
character action |
[<date>], [<retries>], <char./group>, <target>[, <preparation days>, <search in habitations?>, <search in dungeons?>, <search in buildings?>] |
anywhere outside a dungeon |
To go searching for a certain target. Often, you "find" places (like dungeons) before you can enter them. This will often be automatically done as part of that other order (like "explore_dungeon") but the time used in finding the target will be deducted from that order. When something is especially well hidden (as dungeons often are) you must spend a lot of time finding it. In such cases it is better to issue a separate Find order.
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.
|
| forage |
character action |
[<date>], [<retries>], [<repeats>], <char./group>[, <days doing this>, <urgent?>, <forage fields?>, <only legal game?>] |
area or estate |
Try to find and get some food via hunting and gathering in the outdoors. May also forage tilled fields for food, which is slightly illegal. Only possible for groups no larger than about 100 persons.
Note that the former possibility (i.e. hunting in the wild) takes up a lot of time and will need at least a full day.
A character at a beginning skill level (around 1) in "foraging" can only gather enough food for his or her own survival in the wild. Only at higher levels will they be able to support larger numbers of people.

an area |
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 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 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:

A character tries to earn some cash by doing some odd jobs inside a habitation. The money earned depends on the character's class level and on the habtitation's situation. Very entertaining reading.
WARNING: This order *cannot* be executed if the character is inside a group. Extract the character from any groups first before executing this order. The only exception this is any odd-jobs that the character accepts during a day in which he/she has nothing else to do, then the character may be inside a group. But again, the explicitly given ORDER WILL NOT WORK IF INSIDE A GROUP!

This is used for characters to improve or acquire skills or to learn languages.
Note that training only makes sense if you spend serious amounts of time, that means weeks, not days or fractions of a day. Also, training orders, once given, have priority over older orders. Meaning that all older tasks will be ignored thereafter. This is because you need to concentrate on the training to be sure it is effective. Also, you don't want to have the teacher waiting on the pupils while they are off doing something else.

This is used to transfer items from the possession of one game component to another. The giver and the recipient must be in the same physical location. Note that characters may be unwilling to part from their items if they are greedy, disloyal or don't like the recipient. An important factor when transferring to someone who does not belong to your position is whether they belong to an economic alliance of yours.
Also, a receiving character or group that does not belong to the same game position or economic alliance must have its "allow item transfer"-flag enabled or the transfer will be refused.
