In order to open up the other cities, you'll have to work your way through the story, but once you've opened things up, you're free to wander around as much as you like. Whichever character you pick, you will be plopped down in some city along the silk road with only your back to carry goods and just two weak guards. This isn't just a cosmetic choice each character has their own back story, mission, and ability in combat. Pick one of four starting characters to get your merchant career started. In this loose, fantastical simulation of a merchant's life circa 100 BC, you will explore the silk road, fight your way through swarms of bandits, and uncover the unique story of the character you choose. In Sandlot's newest addition to the Tradewinds series, Tradewinds Caravans, you get to experience the excitement and derring-do of a merchant's life, without the boredom and general unpleasantness that would tend to come with the real thing. Okay, so joining a caravan on the silk road might not be this year's vacation craze, but it does make a good setting for a game. When the tedium of taking your caravan from one place to another is just starting to bug you, bandits attack! Your own guards fend them off, but not without substantial losses, and then it's right back to trudging your way through the sand. Incredibly hot, bug-infested, and filled with sand that gets into everything.
