About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'Port Royale 2' Sails Into Stores

The English, Spanish, French and Dutch rulers weren’t the only ones to use the Spanish Main to increase their wealth. 2000 of it’s inhabitants; nearly half of Port Royale’s population, took part in the officially sanctioned practice of privateering, or worse piracy in an effort to increase their personal wealth or to create an independent republic where they could rule or use as a base to plunder other nations.

Port Royale 2 is the sequel to the successful trade simulation game Port Royale (released in over 15 languages worldwide!)

An adventurous trader in the Caribbean during the 17th Century; trade with over 60 towns and create your own production facilities. Increase your trading empire, and influence development of the New World.

Trade is not everything though: pirates and military fleets threaten your trade convoys. Build and command escort ships for the convoys. Turn the tides and hunt for pirates or capture the military ships. Become famous and expand your own fleet as well as your stocks of goods.

If that is not enough, take on missions for merchants, diplomats and other characters. Use a letter of Marquee to gain the most desirable missions of the vice-kings; to attack and conquer enemy towns. As a sign of gratitude you will be awarded land, to be used later for the building and growth of your own towns.

Command and engage in sea and land battles: Decide, which ships you, take to battle, and which ships are on escort duty. The 3D Sea Battles provide the choices of protecting your merchant ships with battleships; Sink, plunder or the capture of enemy ships. Planning and commanding sea or land based attacks on the towns of your foes, or even your friends.

An updated Interface with clear icons, created with care and attention, will provide an easy to use interface that every player will be able to pick up, even with a game of this depth.
