Combat is simply part of life in these rough lands. From hunting the critters inhabiting the lands to eventually having to defend yourself against another character. So how do you go about combat in this environment?
The first thing to know is how to advance and kill critters. First you must figure out if there is a possibility of surviving the encounter. To do this simply GUAGE who or whatever you are attempting to fight with. This will tell you if you are greatly outmatched or if you are on an even footing with this critter. If you are on even footing then next you will want to ADVANCE it. After advancing you must wait until you are close enough to actually strike the crittter. Wait until you know you are at melee range before you ATTACK the critter. Now to attack you can simply use the command ATTACK or there is a range of many other attack styles. For instance, jab, slice, lunge and so forth. Try out what you think will work. Remember that the harder attacks will take more out of you. You will become more tired if you lunge than if you jab. No there is simply no way that you can get into combat with anyone or anything without at some point having to DODGE or PARRY. Use these wisely to help recover from fatigue and regain your balance. How well you do in combat relies on many factors. Some of these include your stats, such as strength and stamina, as well as how much weight you are carrying around with you. You can't very well fight while hauling a 50 pound sack, now can you?
