Set sail and join the colonial powers of Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands as they vie for supremacy in the 17th-century Caribbean in Port Royale 4. Take command as a young, ambitious governor, tasked with managing and growing a small settlement into a bustling trading city. Develop intricate production chains connecting multiple islands and create complex trade routes to meet the expanding needs of your cities. Navigate a detailed sea map to avoid storms, cliffs, and shallow waters while completing tasks for your nation’s viceroy to earn fame and unlock new buildings, ships, and more. Conquer rival cities or hunt their fleets under a letter of marque, all while keeping watch for pirates and privateers. For the first time in the series, naval battles are turn-based, featuring up to eight ships at once with tactical captain maneuvers that can shift the course of even the most desperate battles toward glorious victory.
