DESCRIPTION

Developed by ASCARON, the same company that brought us Patrician II, Port Royale is set in the Age of Sail, and gives players the opportunity to explore the bustling world of the Caribbean in the 16th and 17th centuries. Gameplay involves exploring a game world of four million square miles (four times larger than Patrician II), over 60 towns, and four nations — Dutch, English, Spanish, and French. Players must develop keen pirate instincts as they siege towns, battle other ships, and search for hidden gold. Sea battles can involve over 20 ships, but players can choose to put their ships on auto-pilot during the fighting. Much like Patrician II, players must also worry about developing trade routes, establishing a reputation in their targeted towns, and constructing essential trade buildings when necessary. ~ All Game Guide
