== What is this all about ==

Dark Wind is a game centered on vehicular combat. As such it revolves around managing your vehicles, your drivers and gunners, and when you're rich enough to afford an outpost all of your own, the production of your factory (mostly car and weapons related, of course).
You can partecipate to town event, take courier missions, travelling from town to town or scouting an area to keep the rampant piracy at bay; all those activities are handled from the web interface and played out on the game client.

=== Town events ===

Town events are 'friendly' matches organized on tracks around the town of Evans. There are three type of events: races, which are strictly weaponless, deathraces and arena combats, which may or may not be squad based.
Most events are available in the starting town, Somerset. Events organized there are mostly regulated under the 'EAA Deathrace rules', which are a set of rules of conduit and in game restrictions that regulates the event to provide a somewhat protected environment for freshmen to train. That means having pedestrian weapons removed, having to shoot only at appropriate targets (which is game enforced) and refrain to shoot at resigned vehicles (which is not enforced, so safety is not guaranteed).
Non EAA deathraces are wild events where everything goes, so watch out for dirty tricks and players hunting you on the track skipping checkpoints, stealing cars and generally killing each other.
Pro and Semi Pro events are town events in which you get to use your own car. Those usually have an engine or combat rating restriction, to maintain a leveled playing field.

Some event are grouped in leagues with prices and money reward awarded at the end of all the competitions.

=== Generic Missions and story missions ===

Missions are available from the tavern of each city. Those missions mostly involve getting a package from one town to another, escorting a trade convoy or killing a specific member of another gang. Upon reaching certain goals, like being appreciated by one of the evan factions as the merchants or the deathrace mafia, you'll also have access to 'narrative' missions. Those missions spans on multiple events and are given from specific npc characters from various places in the evan city. An early example of mission you'll get from Somerset are 'Racing for the mob', obtained in the Dexter tavern involving doing some dirty work fror the deathrace mafia or 'Angel of Mercy' given out from the somerset hospital.

=== Scouting the wilderness ===
