I got home late last night and didn't have the opportunity to check what I've saved. I'm 90% sure that the man in the red hat at the start of the game is now gone. So is access to a ton of the weapons with $100,000 to buy them with.

But I did forget to mention this last night, not only does one have to talk to the mayors to finance a location's defense force, but one can also order units from one sector to another. I haven't tested this dialogue out, for the simple reason that I didn't have any units yet. I did order a few up (which drained money from my pocket), and I'll see how it goes from there.

I'm guessing that the field radio is gone, and has been replaced by dialoguing with each region's mayor. Which is a sensible solution as well, although having a field radio that can do the same thing is also quite convincing. Ideally, it would be nice to have both options available.

If I'm wrong on any of this, let me know.
