    New to River Oath? There is now a strategy guide for new players:

    https://retro.theiguru.au/docs/riveroath/strategy

    It covers the first year (feeding the band, raising and training men, boats, recruiting and taking your first places), how tales and goodwill work and why
    a kindness done upstream travels furthest, keeping the dikes standing before the Great Flood, choosing between the petition, the uprising and the amnesty, which official to bring down first, and how to fight a battle without losing your commander. It ends with the mistakes most new players make.

    The guide comes with every download as STRATEGY.txt, and the game's help
    points to it.

    River Oath 0.1.2 is a strategy game of outlaw bands on a failing river: bring down the corrupt River Intendancy before the Great Flood, and keep the dikes standing as you go. One to four players at one computer, or online with up to six in your browser.
