Patrician IV - (PC) Steam EUROPE | NORTH AMERICA Digital Key
The Steam Special Edition contains alternate textures for the Counting House and
Cog ship type.
Patrician IV is the sequel to the historical trading simulation and strategy
series. You are a merchant in northern Europe in the late Middle Ages when the
Hanseatic League was flourishing. Your goal is to rise to the most successful
and influential member of the Hanse, ultimately being elected Elderman, leader
of the trading league. You start bargaining with common goods, build up your own
production and establish a merchant fleet. Later on, you will gain more and more
political influence and even found new towns.
However, a Hanse merchant's life can also have its dark sides. On your way to
power you have to hold your ground against fierce rivals, whom you have to fight
with economic competition, price wars or impure means such as sabotage. Will you
even engage in piracy?
