But enough about the pillage of innocent villagers, where the hell am I going to offload my salt now?

Smolensk is a no-go area, because now they're being besieged by Russians too. Poland just can't catch a break, and neither can I. The men are getting antsy because I'm down to my last 11 coins and their services cost 40 per week. Curse this sudden recession.

It's time to get back to what we know: killing looters. My party heads south and comes across a battle between some of these wretches and the mysterious 'Marksmen of the Secret Department.' After we slaughter the rogues, the Department thanks me. Everyone in this game is so polite. I mean, I'm pretty sure you guys could've handled eight poorly armed and malnourished looters, but thanks anyway.

Triumphant, we hoof it over to a nearby Muscovite city and I have a casual chat with the man in charge. He seems unphased when I tell him my name is Astronaut Mike Dexter and ask about the war. Apparently they're fighting Poland, Crimean Khans and the Kingdom of Sweden too. Well, good luck I guess, but could you maybe hold off from ruining my blossoming salt enterprise? No? Worth a try.
