Patrician 1+2

2001
Strategy

Historical

The Patrician series distilled the cutthroat economics of the Hanseatic League into a compelling strategy experience. Players manage trade routes, production chains, and political maneuvering to dominate medieval Europe's lucrative markets. Its appeal lies in the emergent storytelling fostered by its complex simulation; fortunes rise and fall on the whims of the market, forcing players to adapt or be left bankrupt.

About Patrician 1+2

Details
In this bundle you can have two great trade games, predecessors to Patrician 3, in the price of just one! Set against the historical backdrop of maritime trade at the time of the Hanseatic League, the Patrician series sees the player take the role of a citizen of a medieval hanseatic town in Northern Europe, between London and Novgorod, with the aim being to rise from the status of an ordinary, unimportant trader to that of a major business tycoon and governor of your hometown. To achieve this goal, the player must gain the respect and recognition of other inhabitants and try to make a profit through maritime trade, the production of goods and the completion of missions. The player can raise his profile by both improving the city and through diplomacy, or by raising money for his treasury by means of piracy and smuggling - but watch out, others want easy money too, so you would do wise to arm your ships!
