Native Soldier Oddity#

Due to a programming oversight, native soldiers can be clicked on and commanded to stop moving, as though it was your own unit. Interestingly, their name will show up as Unused.

Placeholder Text#

When editing the goods on your ship to be ID 42, 43 or 44 (decimal), it will show up with the name Unused.

Revisional Differences#

This game has several different versions as a result of having received two expansions, having been released in different countries and having received various bugfix patches.
