Patrician IV is the sequel to the successful historical trading simulation and
strategy series.
In Patrician 4, the player takes on the role of a young merchant in the area of
the Baltic and North Sea during the late Middle Age, the zenith of the Hanseatic
League and its naval trading empire.
Your goal is to rise to the most successful and influential member of the
Hanse, ultimately being elected Elderman, leader of the trading league.
~Features:
* Rise through the merchant ranks using your increasing fame and wealth to
shape towns from small villages to glorious capitals during the middle ages

driven economy

weather, piracy and greedy royalty to maximise your wealth reputation
* Construct buildings and hire workers, stimulating demand for common and more
exotic goods
* Fortify your convoys to hold off pirate attacks or hunt them down in
realistic sea battles
* Set up your trading routes along the Baltic and North Sea and visit bustling
medieval cities such as London, Novgorod, Cologne and Bergen

leader of the Hanseatic League
