Auto ignore (or attack) mercenaries, auto pick up abandoned crates, auto submit to inspection and auto-auto battle anyone attacking me. There's really nothing I need to decide en route to a city, either I make it or I don't. Only decision is whether to sack the town when I arrive based on the HP I have left. Better hope the bandits got some lucky rolls as I traveled, Crimesburg!
Not bad once you figure out how to make the silly weapons work.
HINT: Use more than one steam vent on the cannon, put them between a 60 psi valve and the cannon itself. This lets it bleed off pressure and reload while pressure builds up for another shot on the other side of the valve.
I'm still not sure exactly how the stupid switcher valve works... behavior seems to be erratic at best. =P
