Description

Patrician II is a real-time trading simulation featuring elements of construction and the historical background of maritime trade in Northern Europe during the 1300's. As a resident of a medieval town, your goal is to rise from the status of a simple, insignificant trader to that of a Patrician or perhaps even become the head of the Hanseatic League. You can raise your standing through town improvement or diplomacy, or fill your coffers through piracy and smuggling. Arm your ships, load your cannons, and counterattack the pirates' fleet. The harbour is the key to your wealth, and not only for legal business or ship building...
