Carts and wagons
A cart or a wagon of your own carries your friends, your goods or your fare-paying travellers. You may keep up to 2.
The cartwrights' carts
| Cart | Seats | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Two-wheeled cart | 3 | 1500 groschen |
| Farm wagon | 6 | 3500 groschen |
| Covered wagon | 6 | 5000 groschen |
A cartwright works beside the stables of Suchdol village, Kuttenberg, Pschitoky, Miskowitz, Grund, Maleshov and Bylany: talk to him to buy one. It is paid from your purse, the rest from your account at the moneylender, and its horse comes in the shafts.
Driving and riding
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Get in | The use key on the cart. Seat 0 is the reins; the rest are the bench and the back (a wagon seats six, a two-wheeler three). |
| Change seats | /seat shows who sits where, /seat 2 moves you. Between the bench and the back you climb down and up, so the cart must stand. |
| Locked reins | A locked cart (F2 > My belongings > My carts > the cart > Lock the reins) is driven only by you and whoever holds its spare key; anyone else who climbs in sits in the back. Unlocked, anyone may drive it off - and you will hear of it. |
Keeping a cart
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| F2 > My belongings > My carts | Bring it out where you left it, leave it where it stands, show where it is, lock or unlock the reins, rename it. |
| Its look | Chosen at the cartwright, the cart beside you: the load (sacks, hay, charcoal, cabbages...), the wheels, the body (covered or open), the horses' coats. Free when you buy it - the choice opens by itself; after that, talk to any cartwright > Change the look (100 groschen), change what you like, then Done. Everyone sees it at once. |
| The spare key | /cgivekey lends it to someone beside you: they may drive, fetch and lock it. /ctakekey takes it back. |
| Selling | Back to a cartwright for half its price (/sellcart), or to a player beside you (/csell - they /accept). |
| Upkeep | A fifth of its price each week, like a horse - paid at any cartwright, stable or town hall. |
