Port Royale 3: Pirates & Merchants
About the Game
Set in the 17th century Caribbean, Port Royale 3 is a business simulation game, similar to the Patrician series . players assume the role of an independent captain amidst the kingdoms of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands, and independent factions of pirates, fighting over the New World colonies. players are not limited to a single allegiance; the fluid diplomacy allows players to build alliances and rivalries throughout the game. There are two "career paths": Adventurer, which focuses on combat and conquest; and Trader, which focuses on setting up trade routes and city building.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Although players are free to pursue activities from both of these modes in the same game, the single-player story mode is divided into two distinct campaigns that focus around the two career paths. Like the original Port Royale , Port Royale 3 offers a multiplayer mode allowing up to 4 players to battle for control of the seas.
