What are some games that can meet the majesty of Patrician 3?
>>2251567why does this game keep getting shilled so much?
>>2251858There's no one to shill for. The company died a long time ago.
>>2251858one sperg stuck on repeat
>>2251858It's good and literally no one is making merchant sims these days.
>>2252351>jew simulator
>>2252510total /pol/nigger death!
>>2251567Port Royale 2 is basically Patrician 3, but good
>>2251858Because it's one of the better trade sims ever made.
>>2251858>23 yo game>From a studio defunct for 16 years>ShilledKill yourself, zoomershit
>>2252351Trade sims are 6/10 games.Logistical puzzles, however? 11/10, and those are usually fan-mods to pre-existing games that either deal with trade, transportation or railroad.
>>2255482I don't mean by the developer, you tard. It's obviously some guy. But I've seen like ten threads for this Literally Who game.
>>2254442if only the combat didn't suck ass.I still don't understand why just the player NEEDS to be restricted to one ship per engagement.
Patrician II was my first game and it’s really the same as Patrician III. I think they just tried to make more money by slightly reworking the preceding game. Same goes with Port Royale and Port Royale 2. Trade simulators are fun and they taught me a lot about business. Too bad the genre is all but extinct today and all we have is slop like shop simulator or some cartoonish startup sim nonsense.
>>2251567Merchant Prince but in terms of trade mechanics unironically Elite: Dangerous. Maybe X series. Sadly there is not a lot of good trade games outside spaceshit nowadays.
>>2255600How do the later Port Royales stack up anyway?
>>2255600>Patrician II was my first game and it’s really the same as Patrician III.Here in Germany there never was a Patrician III, it was an expansion pack called "Aufstieg der Hanse"(rise of the Hanseatic League)Don't really know why they sold it as it's own standalone title internationally
>>2251858Its a comfy fun game but you need a certain level of economic sim/history autism to enjoy it
>>2255504>he's not a patrician
>>2255504I think it was a popular game in Europe. It was popular enough there to even make it here in the states as Patrician 3 back in the day. Its not a 'who' game just an old game.
>>2255873>How do the later Port Royales stack up anyway?poorly.I think I've only played Port Royale 3 for a few hours until I just got pissed and threw it away. Anything after Patrician III / Port Royale 2 is trash
>>2255504>Zoomershit explains to everyone why his generation should be gassedI guess you are cringe now and should kys out of shame.
>>2255515... because it makes it ten time easier than trying to command an entire squadron?Also: go try Patrician 3 combat and tell me then that PR version of it sucks.>inb4 its the same
>>2255873Port Royale 2 > Patrician 3 = Patrician 2 > Port RoyaleAnyone claiming there is PR3 or Patrician 4 is retarded and should be ignored.
>>2256082I'm Czech and we never had Patrician 2 released, at least not legally. So imagine having Patrician 1 and then already 3.The funniest part is that when the IP got skin-walked by a new company, they titled their game Patrician 4
>>2256318Games aren't meant to be easy. I have 3 ships and I want to command 3 ships. The enemy can command 3 ships.And yes, Patrician 3 combat is better for that reason.
>>2256329>Being this clueless>While huffing git gud memeThe combat with more than one ship would be piss-easy, you dumb retard. You just proved that you never played either Patrician nor Port Royale
>>2251567was one of the 3 large strategy games in germany in its time. Stronghold for the military aspect. Anno 1602 in the middle (still the best Anno). and Partician II (Patrician I has a charm however as it was intened as edutainment before edutainment was really a thing and its just more immersive)Its genuinly great as a game. >>2251567How did you reach 9 Mil by 47 without settling anywhere with apperantly just one (not sure bc minimap is a bit blurry)>>2256324In Germany its worse you have 1 2 4 and i knew when 4 came out all were suprised because they still waited for 3. >>2255600"patrician III" is the Export name of "Patrizier II -Geld und Macht" as a standalone expansion. >>2256244Hard agree Patrician IV can rot in hell(1/2)
(2/2)i have some grievances with II/III: sieging towns as a is tedious and not fun (but worth it). Treasure map quests needing multiple pieces. Cand found your own hideout as pirate.Underworld reputation is an unfinished mechanic.Smuggling is undercooked.No fees for keeping ship in harbor. No true dynasty mechanics. now sea battles in Partician III are really fun, id argue better than most games with them. My dream strategy game would be Patrician III crossed with starsector. (multiple fleets actual goods simulation, growing and shrinking planets, treasure hunts that don't tell you where to go [annoing in patrician would be great in starsector], Buying industy on planets not your own, managing housing and infrastructure, offer loans, Player Storage manegement, feasts, marriage, Status is Planet based] >>2256319I have heard that sentiment before but my only copy of Port Royal 2 would not recognize itself as original disk, i have the booklet tho and it looks like Pt2 in better in every respect but combat (because it looks like weapon loadouts are locked and only 1 ship). i used to have the map too... >>2257228Combat with large fleet in patrician III is stressfull your ships can easily collide (hurts durability and profit) and you or autofire can and will hit your own ships occassionaly. For combat i love the second ship type (kraier in german no idea abt english) you can build just don't overload them on crew and they can catch up with anything.
>>2257228>The combat with more than one ship would be piss-easy, you dumb retard>>2256318>one ship per engagement makes it ten time easier than trying to command an entire squadroni don't allow myself to say this sort of thing usually, but this place would really be better off if you just died and never posted again
>>2267096>How did you reach 9 Mil by 47 without settling anywhereNigga, how do you even know when he started? Could have been 45.
>>2251567i've always wanted to try Patrician 3 multiplayer
>>2251567so I've never actually beaten this game yet. I'll get up to like 20 ships and then get bogged down in micromanagement. I have automated convoys but then I have to watch them lest they get raided by pirates. how do i do ultraprofitable shit and stuff. seems like the game just fades out.
