NEW ASSET AVAILABLE
You all know you must travel through the desert in the next leg of your journey. You can buy the following asset before the next adventure begins:
Desert Supplies:Bonus: Each unit of desert supplies (extra rations, desert clothing, camels, water etc) allows you to act without penalty in the desert. If you do not spend at least one unit of desert supplies, your company will lose qualities from the journey. You also need one unit of supplies to conduct business as normal. You may get additional units to attempt company actions or go on special missions in the desert.
So to summarize, if you don't buy at least 2 units, your company will suffer.
Each unit of supplies costs 1 raise. You may buy as many units as you wish - there is no cap, nor do they count against your cap on assets.
