A trading problem: Venetor
So, for the first ~15 days of my game, I used the "assess the local prices" option in the market to find good deals and make some capital to hire troops. I have a high trading skill (8) so I've been able to make a lot of money doing this. The only problem is, the only deals it's telling me now are for a place called Venetor.

I looked it up, and apparently I'm not even able to access it without doing a quest, so the game telling me to sell things there is pointless. Furthermore, the fact that I'm only getting trade route suggestions to go there prevents me from getting better ones to other places, and has completely halted my trading career. I don't really want to use trade routes that other people have posted online either, because it feels a bit like cheating to me.

I'd really prefer not to have to go through a lengthy quest line just to sell to this place. So is there any way to prevent it from popping up like this? Or even remove it from my version of the game without completely breaking it? I'd like to hear if anybody else is having this problem too. Thanks in advance.

I've had the same problem and it seems to be a bug. I think it has to do with the fact that Venetor is a town that is supposed to appear if you do the Third Legion questline and try to restore the Third Legion, but for some reason it appears in trade before then and because nobody is trading with the nonexistent town the prices are ridiculously good so they always show up.

As a result assessing trade seems largely broken in this version, I don't think it's been that big of a priority since most people make their money by finding the areas where a product is cheap and kind of troubleshooting with sales along with prisoner farming and enterprises.

That makes a lot of sense, then. In the mean time I've been able to make up for this problem by memorizing good routes in the early game before the prices in Venetor shoot up and screw the price assessment, so it's not as big an issue as it was before. Dunno if anything can be done about that bug, but like you said, I figure it's not on their list for fixes right now, which I don't really fault them for given how few people probably use that menu anyway. :P
