Trading is great in this new version.
Anytime I go to a city I simply check their stock. If they have a ton of one item then I buy 10 of those items. The price I pay will increase as I buy more.
Then I just carry those items with me and when I come to a town that has very little or better yet, none, of that item then I sell.
I have made thousands in just a few minutes. There is no need to learn trading routes, as the prices change as cities gain or lose each item.
One time I found fish for 10 denari or so, I bought as many as I could get, the last few I bought were 20 to 25 denari. I then went to the next town over and discovered they had no fish at all and I was able to sell the fish for 40 to 50 denari. All in all the whole transaction took about 3 or 4 minutes.
I like this much better than having to take item A to city B, over and over again...
