Based on the Patrician “Quest for Power” game engine, Patrician III hosts a range of new features, including:

• Classic real-time trading simulation
• Brings genres together! Immerse yourself in the trade, economics, sea battles and diplomacy of Patrician III
• Game modes and objectives, with the smaller single missions and the ‘life-long’ campaigns, and numerous configurable options
• Establish and build your own towns – Build up to two new towns can be built during a game
• Find missions in the tavern’s side room or receive letters from strangers offering rewards for tasks such as hunting pirates, granting travellers passage, smuggling, collecting pieces of treasure maps…
• Aspire to the position of Alderman and undertake missions including striking a pirate’s hideout, developing a new town for the Hanse, eliminating notorious pirates, establishing new overland trade routes…
• Discover and destroy pirate villages – Prove your worth and your reputation
• Enhanced options for expeditions – Issue detailed orders for your captains, signature of contracts with distant towns, enhanced search areas to look for new business opportunities
• Seasonal and enhanced weather effects – rain, snow, ice, and trees and bushes in bloom, all create a real sensation of time as well as impacting on production and transportation
• With more buildings, new architecture, animated trees, animals and horse coaches, Patrician III is one of the most beautiful and visually stunning trading games of all times
• Six additional buildings serve to enhance your spectrum of options (warehouses, mints, elementary schools, barns...)
• Newly redesigned artificial intelligence adjusts itself according to your experience and ability. This allows for a tougher challenge against the computer controlled opponents
