There is some combat, but it doesn't feel as dramatic or as central to the game as it should - the 1600s were relatively lawless times, after all. Producing goods cheaply, ferrying them around and selling them on to whoever offers the highest price is about the gist of it. Here, your objective is to foster a corporate fortune by trading with the four major powers and building industrial centres across 60 towns in and around the Caribbean. This is bad news for the developer of Port Royale 2, because while Ascaron has done a consistent job of creating trading games set during the golden age of sail (through games like The Patrician), over the past ten years it hasn't so much mounted a challenge to the captain's chair as kept it warm for Sid's eventual return.Įffectively then, Port Royale is a Pirates! tribute, with the focus shifted away from adventure and excitement. In two months time, Sid Meier's Pirates! will be returning to the high seas after a decade long exile.
