Editing Travel (section)

== How to Travel ==
You will first need to create a squad:

On the [http://www.dark-wind.com Darkwind website], select '''Gameplay -> My Gang -> Squads'''

Under the box marked "Create New Squads" you will be shown a list of towns in which you have gang members.  Initially this will only show Somerset.  Click "In Somerset" to create a squad there.  You will be prompted to enter a name for the squad as well as a password.  The password can later be given to other players who can then also join your squad.  Once your squad has been created, you will need to add vehicles to it.  The last box says "Member Vehicles."  In that box is the option to add vehicles to the squad.  You will need to select from the list of available vehicles and click the "Add" button.  Make sure all of your vehicles have drivers and passengers assigned.  Clicking on the name of the vehicle will bring up the vehicle information to the right.  Scrolling down near the bottom of the vehicle info, you can assign drivers and passengers.  The first passenger added is the driver by default.

'''NOTE:''' It is highly advisable, that you check the ''Auto Truce all Traders'' checkbox when traveling.  This will eliminate the need for you to log in to the game client solely to truce an encounter with traders.

There are two methods to set your travel destination, and start traveling.

=== New, Super-easy Method ===
On your squad's information page, click the ''Travel'' button.  A popup menu will appear listing all the destinations reachable from the squad's current town.  Select one of the destinations, and click the ''Do it!'' button.

Destinations that are beyond your squad's fuel range will appear in '''bold''' in the list.  Selecting one of these destinations will display a message about your squad not having enough fuel to reach the destination.

=== Old, Less Easy Method ===
In order for the squad to travel to another town, you will need to go to '''Gameplay -> Map'''. 

Your squads will be represented as gray flags on the map.  You can select a squad by either clicking on the flag or clicking the name of the squad under the heading "Your Squads" on the right.  The selected squad flag will then be displayed in blue.  Selecting a squad will open up a small window on the map.  To travel to another town, click "Select Travel Destination."   Click on the town you wish to travel to.  If you cannot travel, either because vehicles in the squad are being repaired or the squad does not have enough fuel to reach the destination town, you will receive a prompt stating the reason you cannot travel.  If you are able to travel, you complete the trip by clicking the "Open Squad Page" and using the appropriate buttons in the squad page that appears below the Evan Map.
