Question on Achievement "The Shrewd Trader" Preconditions
To get this achievement one of the quests needed from Giovanni di Mercante is "Economic Espionage". One of the preconditions for this quest is to "have at least one inhabitant globally." Does anyone know what this means exactly? I fear it means you must have an inhabitant on every island in your game.

This wiki seems to have just been started. So, I thought I'd add some content. I'll work as heavily as possible on ships and all aspects of shipping. After that, I'll focus on special items (crew members, sails, tariffs, etc), the harbor system, the achievement menu. If I'm still going after that, I'll see what I can do about the special NPC like the treasure hunter, alchemist, etc.

If anyone wants to beat me to any of this, feel free. I'm not claiming dibs--just laying out a plan.
