Welcome to H&H | Read Me First

[partinez]

Great work! It helped me when I started (months ago). I was looking at it and realised that it doesn't mention the wiki. A link at the end would be great to learn more about the game. I see a lot of questions that can be answered looking at the wiki.

i cant find the skill to own land...do i need otehr skill first?

The skills required to own land are as follows:
-Oral Tradition
-Wilderness Survival
-The Will To Power
-Foraging
-Plant Lore
-Farming
-Yeomanry

Wiki is perfect help for this, since you just type what skill you want and it will tell you what skills are needed for it.

anyone have questions for the FAQ?

I just started and want to know.. What is the best way to get some food early on? I'm just out in the wilderness with a bed that I built. I don't see much about an easy way to get food early on. I don't see any herbs, roots, berries, rabbits, chickens anywhere and I do have the foraging skill. Can you put some pictures or something to show what it looks like?

[Jackard]

done updating, feel free to also suggest links you think may be helpful for new players

also gonna add a section on easy ways for new players to die:

1. swimming
2. mining
3. ants
4. treeboars
5. bears
6. hearthlings

at the earliest stages of Foraging, you won't find much. Increase your Exploration and Perception and you will gradually begin to find more and more. Rabbits will spawn in forests, Chicken in grasslands. You will need Hunting to catch and kill both.

Maybe include a link to the taming guide in the USEFUL LINKS section... Has anyone tested to see if it's the same as before yet?

And though I don't support the use of custom clients/cheating, it may be worth mentioning. Newer players may think that hiding behind a palisade/tree/boulder actually counts as hiding, or that their enemies won't be able to see them in a cave without a torch. Many seem to consider night vision and x-ray a "necessity".

yea i wish it still did...

xray is the only time a client improvement has actually made gameplay worse, by completely removing any form of legitimate* stealth



*does not include invisibility

Very nice, I appreciate the J&L face pic you linked to. lol
Should have included a link to the Mario&Luigi pic too. hehe, jk.

Anyhow, not sure this would apply to "Useful links" in your tutorial, but there's a current problem with java 1.6, and I've started a guide thread for solving unlaunchable errors. If you deem it appropriate, it's located here.
