There will be bloody good times.

<span class="bold">Turmoil</span>, a lighthearted strategy/management game where you drill hard on your way to becoming a turn-of-the-19th-century oil tycoon, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 30% launch discount.

We've all heard the stories, seen the ghost-towns, and watched the Oscar-winning drama. But who knew that participating in the oil business of 1899 America can be as enjoyable as it can be messy! As you grow your business and invest your earnings in the local economy, your town will also grow, competition will become more severe, and you'll need to lease more land in the auction house to keep looking for new oil wells. Hit some hard rock, a pocket of gas, or even ice? You can't give up now or the other prospectors will crush you! Buy better tools, upgrade your production line, or grease some palms in the local saloon - whatever it takes to keep you ahead of the game! Perhaps one day you might reach the wealth and status required to become the new mayor or at least the most powerful oil baron in the area.

Set up the perfect oil-drilling business and turn a huge profit out of the ensuing <span class="bold">Turmoil</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 30% discount will last until October 5, 9:59 AM UTC.

vanchann: Search and download the deb packages for the required libraries. Since Mint is a Debian derivative, search first for a general library package and then for [url=http://packages.ubuntu.com/]Ubuntu if it's not present for Debian. Check the release closer to your Mint (Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04) first. Extract the package's contents and copy the missing library files (generally a shared object file .so and and a soft link to it) to the games folder (if there is a game and/or lib folder better place them there).

Keep a copy of the libraries, since you will need them for many games. Doing this process, I've been able to run all my GOG and Humble Bundle Linux games on Mint 17.3 and now 18.

I found an old screenshot of my Mint 17.3 desktop with GOG games installed here. All of them run on Mint 17.3 64bit by resolving dependencies the way above.

Thank you. This is the solution I was looking for a long time. While all the other Linux users tried to help nothing worked and it wasn't understandable how to get the dependencies installed in a safe way. This way they are really just installed locally for the game. Now I can play Crimsonland again and Turmoil soon too. I will definitely save your instructions and use them to help others too. Never knew about that package page before. Thank you very much for the help. Now I need to get working on Mount and Blade Warband and its dependencies.

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help.
Mount and Blade Warband is a game with many missing dependencies, but after resolving them it runs fine.

This takes place in 1899, so it would be "turn-of-the-20th-century". Glad I got that incredibly helpful correction out of the way.

Sorry, couldn't resist Googling it:
There is no general agreement about what a phrase like “turn of the nineteenth century” means. It does seem to suggest the “turn of the nineteenth century into the twentieth”—i.e., the change from 1900 to 1901 (or, popularly, 1899 to 1900).

I bought this game yesterday and it's been really enjoyable. It's great to see developer interaction here too.

To that end, one small gripe that I have with the game is that when you hire Anthony, if you try to close his dialogue box on the map and there is a plot of land under the box, it selects that plot as your land. Whilst you're able to back out of the town hall and re-auction the land, it's a bit annoying to have to do that.

Otherwise, it's a neat game.

Thanks for the feedback. UI is tricky and although most of these types of issues are fixed, apparently not everything. we'll make sure to fix it in the future.

Wow, interesting. I stand corrected then on my correction. I didn't know that either form was accepted and that it all depends on context. I'd just always heard of that period of time referred to as either simply the 'turn of the century (pre-2000) or the turn of the 20th century." Thanks for the info. I read the Wiki article on it as well after googling.
