    It adds a few new things. Same old bugs are still there. The most prominent features would be the retinue for your captain and the Privateer missions. Retinue, like a surgeon, improving casualty recovery, or mast repair men who remove the need to travel to ports to reapair ships.

If they get around to optimising the game, fixing the interface and camera controls, and fixing the boat load (wow a pun) of bugs, then this could be bumped up to a 7 or 8.… Expand

    Takes you back in time and let you command a trading company under the 17th century. Trading, diplomacy and war are all natural ingredients of this RTS game. A good alternative if you’re looking for a trading simulation with a historical perspective.
