ABOUT THIS GAME
barrel04.gif


Set sail and join the colonial powers of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands in their fight for supremacy of the Caribbean in the 17th century.
In ‘Port Royale 4’ you will take control of a colony as a young and ambitious governor who is eager to learn what it takes to manage and grow his small settlement into a bustling trader city.

Develop production chains connecting multiple islands and create complex trade routes across the Caribbean, covering the ever-growing needs of the respective cities. Make use of the detailed sea map to avoid stormy weather regions, cliffs or shallow waters. Fulfill tasks for your nation’s viceroy, earning more fame to unlock town buildings, ships and more. Conquer the cities of rival nations or hunt down their fleets with a letter of marque while also keeping a keen eye out for pirates and other privateers.

For the first time in the series, naval battles will be turn-based, with up to 8 ships battling at one time and tactical captain maneuvers that can turn the tide in even the most hopeless of situations for a glorious victory.

Not able to say yet if this looks promising or has been dumbed down and has got romances and a captivating story added, so people who don't want a game can have a reason to buy it too. The description doesn't seem to mention anything hinting at game degeneracy.

Turn based naval combat sounds good.

Non-shit Patrician 5 when?

Combat always was awful in both series (albeit in a different way every time), going TB can be a massive incline unless they fuck up everything else.

Ooof.... Mack tore the game a new one:


Not entirely sure what the point of playing the game is, tbh, as it seems you don't really do anything yourself, just watch time pass and do really weird hex-tile ship battles every now and then.

Indeed the biggest WTF has to be the price tag, though.

So this is on sale on GOG.

But it seems shit. The usual woketry with the only pirate character being a girl, no slave trade and lots of dumbing down.

How's 3?
