Megafan - Maybe so, but one would think that a professional Caravaneer would at least have the basic orienteering skill with which to figure it out. I mean, I learned how to do it when I was 12, so it can't be that hard.
Great game - a depth of play rarely found in flash games. A few comments:
1) ridable horses/carts?
2) I think there's a few to many robbers in some places... maybe tone down the number of encounters in some areas?
3) More badges? Please? The one that's there should be an Easy (I've easily gotten over $700K), but other ones could be put in for completing the story and such.
4) Perhaps a notepad or journal with records of the storyline and such things, to keep people from forgetting minor details like how to find the robber base.
5) It would be nice to see your location on the map - that way, people wouldn't have to worry as much about getting lost.
But still, minor issues all. Still an amazing game. 5/5, favorited, and I will look into downloading it.
