The Hanseatic League was founded in the middle of the 13th century to protect its members' trading interests. Initially it was a loose organisation of a few daring traders. Over time, however, it developed into a very powerful trading concern. Patrician III lets you join this exciting world of discovery and new beginnings!
"Patrician is among the best strategic titles I've played in a decade-and-a-half of reviews."
- IGN Review
You are a small, but ambitious trader, bent on succeeding and shaping your own empire. To this end you gather information, set up trading offices in other Hanseatic towns, take on various assignments for which you are not always best qualified, and indulge in as much bribery as your purse with withstand. However, it is not just base self-interest driving you in this. You also desire wealth for your home town and toil for recognition and prestige, dabble in local and national politics, ensure your competition is left standing and confront evil pirates and unreasonable princes.
