I had a few questions:

1- In the docks it says it takes $3000 and 3 turns to travel to someplace, what are turns?

2- Does experience actually level you up in the traditional RPG sense? If not what does it do besides allow harder mysteries and not allow lower ones?

3- Does age ever come into play in any aspects of the game?

Thanks in advance,

Oh, 2 more:

4- Missions: On my detective pages it says Missions: None. What are missions?

5- Contacts: same as missions question.

1-turns are unplayed cases. If you have a full 10 case load and travel from New York to London, upon arrival you will only have 8 cases left.

2-Exp opens up new levels, as you noticed, and it also effects your skill point aquisition. There are no "level ups" as in a traditional RPG.

3-age mostly effects what group you fit in on the score boards, and bragging rights. :D

4- Missions are found in London and Delhi.
5-Contacts are awesome and there are lots of threads about them. One of the mods has a helpful contact thread in their mod picks, but off the top of my head, I don't know who. :)

Thanks! Really helped. Those were pretty much the last things I didn't get about the game. I'll look for that contact thread.
