Towns will also have their own jobs for you to complete, though. As I mentioned earlier some of these are set by your Viceroy. This being said there is still a campaign so there are tasks to complete. There is very much a sandbox feel to Port Royale 4 in that you can do things largely your way. Keeping him happy will yield many rewards No workers, no products you get the gist. This affects production but also the simple fact that nobody will want to move to your town meaning no workers. If your workers aren’t happy their satisfaction rating will drop. Most people don’t like living right on top of smelly, polluting industries so you need to be careful where you’re putting your buildings. There is also an amount of people management at play here. You can then buy the product that you’ve now got lots of for peanuts and then make a killing by selling it to another town that doesn’t have any of the above. To do this you’ll need permission from your Viceroy to grow wheat, you’ll then need a distillery and finally workers to man it. So as an example you might want to distill your own beer. You’ll then need to find those workers’ jobs.
You’ll need residential zones to attract workers. This is where the city-building aspect comes in. You don’t want them all producing the same ones though or you aren’t going to make any money. In Port Royale 4, you’ll want different towns producing a sufficient amount of different products. The map is big, with each town having its own self-sustaining economy. This isn’t just a case of a bunch of people saying nice things about you, it’s a commodity all of its own. Yes, buying and selling is a big part of making your fortune but fortune is only part of the process, fame is equally important. This is an unfairly one-dimensional way to look at the game, though. On the most basic level, you’re collecting produce from one town and selling it off to another for a profit. This is one part building sim, one part trading sim, one part tactical adventure. In the broadest sense, Port Royale 4 is a strategy game, but it’s so much more than that. Some more quickly than others as you get into the more complex elements of the game. Port Royale 4 is a pretty intuitive title so you’ll pick up the rest of the mechanics as you go. The tutorials won’t tell you everything but they’re comprehensive enough to get you started. If you want a game that’s going to keep you occupied for a good period of time, this is it. Port Royal 4 has an awful lot going on and I mean this in the best possible sense. My god, this is a game that needs its tutorials. Right, with all that out of the way what’s the game like, then? Let’s see, shall we? As this is a game of brain-bending strategy there is literally only one member of the TVGB team I’d want with me on this little journey, so my very good friend and co-writer Albert Eres is coming along for the ride. This is a very big, very complicated title and because I’m not very big or very complicated I decide I wasn’t going to be playing it on my own.
So in this case you’ll get the be a trader or a pirate, (or both,) but still … close enough. The game is Port Royale 4 and alongside telling you all about the game, we’ll also be discussing the brand new Buccaneers DLC. This is where our title for today comes in. This is something that sticks with us into adulthood, though, and being gamers we get to be either or both pretty much whenever we feel like it. It’s like the old anecdote, “Do you want to be a ninja or a pirate?” the answer clearly being a ninja pirate, obviously. There are certain things kids always seem to want to do.
