Port Royale 3 takes players to an authentic recreation of the
17th century Caribbean, where they'll choose either the life an
adventurer, or that of a merchant, following quests specific to
their choices. Adventurers will find their path filled with
exciting naval battles and quests, from saving young damsels
from kidnappers, to invading pirate hideouts, hunting down
elusive pirates or even raising the skull and crossbones flag
over the player's own fleet to become a privateer. As a
merchant, players will craft massive shipping and trading
empires, build fleets balanced for cargo hauls and survival in
the treacherous waters, aiming for power, wealth and influence
rivaling those of the great nations of the era. More information

In Port Royale 3: Pirates & Merchants, players will embark upon
an epic adventure through the Caribbean during the turbulent
17th century where the naval powers of Spain, England, France
and the Netherlands all fight for supremacy in the colonies.
Players take on the role of a young captain trying to build his
fortune and reputation in the new world colonies. The campaign
consists of two different paths for the young protagonist to
follow: adventurer and trader.
Following the path of the adventurer will lead the player on a
naval conquest where they must gain notoriety through raids,
piracy, bounty hunting, plundering and conquering cities as they
strive to build their new Caribbean empire.
The route of the trader sees the player using their economic
know-how to become the most powerful trading tycoon in the New
World by setting up trade routes, building production facilities
and developing cities.
In free-play mode, the player crafts a combination of the two
paths, creating a unique and challenging scenario on the path to
increase wealth and power.
