Really fun
The calendar remembers events you have discovered, which can be great for planning
If your wagon is destroyed, you can chose to be teleported and fully healed to either the town you just came from, or the starter town, for 10% of your money, and *delicate cough* sometimes it works out cheaper to die and teleport than to travel all the way back to starter town. (As long as you tap purloined cargo, it is recovered)
