The sails are set, the cargo hold filled with precious goods, and the cannons are ready for action. In Port Royale 4, you take on the role of a young, ambitious governor, controlling a small colony and fighting alongside the colonial powers of the 17th century for dominance in the Caribbean. With foresight and organizational talent, you drive the economic development of your settlement, gradually expanding it into a profitable trading empire with bustling cities. The needs of your towns are constantly growing—utilize multiple islands to create lucrative production chains and a functioning infrastructure with complex trade routes. Master the detailed sea map to skillfully navigate stormy weather regions, treacherous cliffs, and shallow waters. Successfully complete missions for your viceroy, unlock concessions for city buildings, ships, and more. Conquer cities of hostile nations or hunt their fleet with a letter of marque and secure valuable cargo. But beware of lurking pirates and other privateers. For the first time in the popular "Port Royale" series, the fourth installment features naval battles in a turn-based environment with up to 10 ships. Use special captain tactics to turn even the most desperate battle into a glorious victory.
