User Reviews Westward Game:

"Westward is an amazing, challenging fun western-themed strategy game! Yeah, I liked it a lot. In Westward you have to brave the dangers of the old west, control the fortunes of three towns and guide your settlers to safety. The gameplay in Westward is very addictive, the graphics, sound effects and music are superb. The script is very funny and some of the characters are a real hoot. If you liked games like Virtual Villagers or other strategy games then you're going to love Westward. Go Westward!!!" - Bob S.

Westward Game Tips & Hints:

• Trading Posts are very useful. They are very handy on maps with few resourcs and you can buy food during a time of drought or famine.
• Try not to go just go for gunslingers or deputies. A mix of the two is more effective
• Make sure you explore as much of the map as possible. You never know what you'll find that could be useful
• If you have more advanced buildings in your town they will bring gold into your town
• Each Farm can support about 10 people.
• Trading Posts are especially useful on maps with few resources.
• A mix of Gunslingers and Deputies is more effective than one or the other alone.
• Ranches use Wood and Water, but each Citizen working there produces more Food than a Citizen at a Farm.
• When a character is selected, if you hold down the Shift key and then left-click on the map, the character will move to that location.
• Focusing all your lawmen on a single Bandit at a time wins battles quickly.
• Exploring as much of the map as possible is always a good idea.
• Many advanced buildings bring Gold into your town.
• Pressing the "TAB" key will cycle through all the units that you control
• Combat units will not fight while moving.
• Your combat units will automatically begin firing at bandits when in range.
• Bandits will only follow you so far until they give up.
• If a bandit is attacking one of your combat units and another of your combat units is in range they will automatically start attacking the bandit.
• Trading posts are great for buying much needed food during a drought or famine.
• Many buildings drop wood, food, or gold when destroyed.

• Click and drag the left mouse button to lasso-select a group of characters.
• Only Citizens can take jobs at your buildings.
• You need at least one Ranch before you can build a Sheriff's Office.
• A Settler or Citizen has to walk to a construction site to build most buildings.
• A Plague can wipe out your entire Food supply, but does not affect production.
• Drought will slow the rate at which your town gathers Water.
• Famine dramatically slows the rate at which Food is harvested.
• Unlike Lumber Camps, Lumber Mills can gather Wood from any forested area.
• Sheriffs and Deputies can throw Drunks in jail to sober them up.
• Drunks will reform if they are taken to a Church.
