Still a great game
Patrician 4 ist not for everyone. You need to like trade sims to enjoy it. But if you do, it's your game. Better than it's sister series Port Royal and allows you to dump a more or less infinite amount of time into it (if you want to max out the hanse or such). One thing that was not obvious to me: if you start the game with GOG-Galaxy it will start up the base game. You can start the addon in the additional options (or directly in the folder). That's a bit inconvenient - and it took me a full game run into the later stages to notice the missing features. Which I knew from owning a CD Version of the game previously. Did I already mention it's a great game? Bought it again on GOG to have easy access for the future. Ah yes, what needs to be mentioned: The mid to late game can be a pain. You typically need to rely on the lords winning a siege to bring up their happiness to then get high happiness quests (like buying shares and building land routes). The happiness bar drops quite fast when you have already scaled up your production in the region and the quests do still not appear more often. That makes it more or less impossible to bring up happiness sufficiently by "regular" means. Could have been handled better.
Hilft dir das weiter?
