![]() Reliving this colorful age through games has been a long tradition, and the tradition continues with Ascaron's sequel, Port Royal II. The brothers of the coast, as they called themselves, sailed, plundered and fought all through the Caribbean, in an age we now call the age of piracy. The riches of the new world attracted the jealousy of rival nations, and the ambitions of lawless men of plunder, to whom work was a waste of time, and the easy life was all that mattered. The age of exploration had an unexpected result, that had not been foreseen by the early explorers and settlers. In addition to the main game's open-ended play, a number of pre-set scenarios are included to highlight new features, introduce newcomers to the game, and challenge players with specific empire-building objectives. Meanwhile, a powerful fleet can control the seaways, protecting friendly merchant ships or plundering riches from a competitor's vessels. By claiming territory, building towns, and creating production facilities, players can develop important, profitable ports of call in the western hemisphere. As in the first historically based game, players sail expansive seas dominated by four competing nations, and seek to create a prosperous land of their own in the New World. Until then we make war.This sequel to the internationally successful strategy game Port Royale offers players an enhanced interface, more trading options, and new ways to claim wealth and power, as they again attempt to create an empire of commerce that spans the 17th century globe. If Anno 1701 wants to be a trading game, we need to define the prices of the goods ourselves. Then it is up the the free trader and others to buy where the goods are cheap. ![]() It will also be fun to see a version 3.00 where we can select our own price at the warehouse and in the trade routes. Then single player games without the queen and without the free trader will get very interesting. Now we are looking forward to version 2.00 where the computer players get smarter so they wont have to cheat anymore. ![]() The icon is correct but parfume is not chocolates :-). This only occured a single time.ģ) When a city is out of parfume the text message is: "Your people need pralines". I have only found a few problems:ġ) A trader assignment with delivery of 20 T wool occured 4 times during my first game but the trader did not accept the wood any of the four times (he did not accept 20 T wool either).Ģ) The trader did not accept the delivery of 9 T parfume in another trader assignment. ![]() It is nice to get free ships from the trader and I certainly enjoyed having 40 trading routes plus 3 free ships. I have been playing a bit with the English version of patch 1.02 in the Easter. ![]()
