What this is
Please the crown, feed their people, thrive; all without resorting to piracy—too often. Players must carefully choose the correct timing to show their achievements. Players try to adapt themselves to these constraints, working to find better fields for farming the right goods and for obtaining precious wood, essential for erecting new structures in the cities and for building ships.
