Exactly, now you can have a look at the worldmap and already estimate what will be offered in that settlement. If you are looking for weapons and armor visit towns with surface ore veins, smelters and furnaces attached.
Fantastic artwork, as usual. I think the style is perfect for the setting. The idea that a city near a mine will have a better selection of weapons is great.
One thing I like about the game now is that all prices to the company is retail. There’s no incentive to carry inventory to trade. That might make things interesting, but overall, not accurate. Of course, it would be a distraction to running a company, so be sure to not let it creep in!
In a single player game, there's no such thing as cheating. It's merely "creative manipulation of the default settings"!
