Patrician IV released for OSX
10. April 2014.Hanseatic trade can finally happen on OSX. Kalypso Media and Runesoft are proud to announce the availability of a Macversion of „Patrician IV“. The huge community of the Patrician series had to wait for a sequel to this classic trade simulation for quite some time. When Kalypso Media was able to secure the trademark and some of the key developers of the original games, it became possible to develop and present a sequel worthy its name. This sequel finally finds its way to OSX enabling hanseatic trading for the first time on Macintosh computers.
The Macversion requires OSX 10.7.5 or better, a Intel Dual Core processor at 2 Ghz, 4 GB RAM and a 3D Graphicscard with 256 MB VRAM (ATI Radeon 4650 or better/NVidia 9400M or better/Intel HD 3000 or better).
Patrician IV is the sequel to the historical trading simulation and strategy series. You are a merchant in northern Europe in the late Middle Ages when the Hanseatic League was flourishing. Your goal is to rise to the most successful and influential member of the Hanse, ultimately being elected Elderman, leader of the trading league. You start bargaining with common goods, build up your own production and establish a merchant fleet. Later on, you will gain more and more political influence and even found new towns.
However, a Hanse merchant's life can also have its dark sides. On your way to power you have to hold your ground against fierce rivals, whom you have to fight with economic competition, price wars or impure means such as sabotage. Will you even engage in piracy?
