Hmmm...
To do:
Add more revisional differences and be more detailed:
An additional island size "large", volcanic eruptions, etc.

Investigate the cheat mode's edit mode.

Confirm if the Shift + x cheat codes work in the German version.

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.
