Description
Patrician IV Gold Edition is the ultimate edition for anyone who has missed this 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. Start trading with common goods, build up your own production and establish a merchant fleet to expand your trading empire to gain more political influence as you conquer new towns. However, a Hanse merchant's life can also have its dark side. On your rise to power you must hold your ground against fierce rivals, whom you have to overcome by any means be it economic competition, price wars or ‘other’ underhanded tactics such as sabotage. Will you even engage in piracy to get what you want? Patrician IV Gold Edition also brings a host of improvements and features first introduced by the critically acclaimed expansion Rise of a Dynasty. Operate your business in cooperative multiplayer mode, discover new heartland trade routes while grappling with territorial rulers and protecting your wagon convoys from errant highwaymen.
