About this deal

Mit dutzenden von speziellen Gebäuden und einzigartigen Städte-Layouts gibt es eine Menge an Möglichkeiten, die Städte im Spiel zu optimieren, jeweils mit einer anderen Herangehensweise. Industriegebäude, die nah an Wohngebäuden liegen, können z. B. die Effizienz erhöhen, aber die Zufriedenheit der Bewohner im unmittelbaren Umkreis verringern.

Wähle aus 50 Gebäuden, darunter 25 Produktionsstätten, um Waren wie Rum oder Luxusartikel herzustellen. Baue Stadtgebäude mit Nachbarschaftseffekten, um die Produktivität und das allgemeine Wohlbefinden deiner Bürger zu erhöhen.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.

Appoint a leader for your adventure from four different character classes: The Explorer, the Merchant, the Buccaneer and the Pirate – each providing their own advantages and disadvantages. The new hex-grid helps players create unique and profitable cities to expand their huge Caribbean trading network. Make meeting citizens needs your first and foremost priority. You can see how important items are to citizens by looking on the 'Trading' and 'Production' screens. It is essential that you when you sail into a town you try to sell items the citizens of that town want. There is an argument that you could make that the developers could have used it as a teaching moment more. The idea that the Caribbean was all about glory, empire-building and wealth accumulation does overlook the very real impact that these empires had on the region – an impact that continues to reverberate to this day – and overlooking it does come across as a little irresponsible. There are diplomatic systems at play through the game, and it’s possible to build a reputation with the various national leaders so that they hand control over the growing towns to your management, so the game does depict the colonialism at play. It just misses the need to actually engage with that topic if it’s going to represent it. As I noted in my review on PlayStation 4 Port Royale 4 does come across as perpetuating a kind of exoticism, and it’s unfortunately inauthentic as a consequence.

Building cities is similarly deep, but mechanically accessible thanks to the development energy placed into getting the user experience right. Each building has an impact (possibly positive, possibly negative) on the buildings around it, and the game helpfully pops up a colour gradient to show you whether that new building that you’re looking to construct will be in a good spot, or potentially drag down the quality of the facilities around it. It’s a challenging puzzle to sort through at times because space is at a premium in each city and there are a lot of possible buildings available, but you’ll never struggle to understand the impact of the decisions that you make, and that is key for any simulator or strategy game. You will have to discover towns before their information becomes visible and they can be connected to your trade-network. Managing your convoy can be daunting, especially once you build or buy more ships. Setting up trade routes so vessels will travel automatically and conduct business on their own becomes a necessity. Once you've gotten the hang of things it's pretty easy to make money. A bit too easy in fact. After grasping the basics I started to make significant profits to the point that the game felt like it was playing itself. I was just watching all my ships travel across the routes, which was sort of boring. Industries close to residential buildings might increase their efficiency while reducing happiness in the surrounding residential buildings.
