Someone else already helped with the plus, I just want to give a general 
hint (according to what I discovered in the beta, I have yet to play the 
final version). Water is vital in the game, you should find some oasises 
as soon as possible. There is one near the first mission place. Once you 
have discovered a set of
oasises the game becomes way easier because you are not limited in your 
movements during the exploration/travel mode that much anymore.

This game is much harder than they were (at least for me).  I find it much easier to coddle one main character than 4.  I do like the game though I can sense many hours of frustration as I work my way through it.  the graphics are fine for the kind of game this is.  And there are certainly challenges.  It is just a bit of a shame that part of the challenge involves figuring out what things mean and how to do things rather than just the things to do.
