How to start?
This looks like an interesting game, but I have no idea how to start. The first tutorial is on camera controls, but clearly, with a MacBook Pro and trackpad, the controls listed do not apply. The tutorial seems to quit or hang after the third screen of the tutorial (defining a task). So I just started to play the campaign, but I’m not getting the hang of this at all - what are all the arrows on the map? Clicking on many of them don’t help. I tried to build a road, but could not figure out how to finish building it - how to release the cursor from more road! Anyway, I’d love to get into this but have no idea how to start. I downloaded the manual from the company, but this clearly was not written for Mac players. Why don’t they release an addendum for the Mac, if only to explain how to control this with a Mac keyboard and no right button (the option-click or command-click doesn’t seem to work)? Addendum: I wrote the Kalypso support group. They replied (10/1/14): "For now, please use a mouse. Our developers are currently working on the issue, as right click seems to be a problem for the macbook pro. (Also needed to stop building roads.)” So I’ll stop using the game until this is solved. No way to stop building roads!
