Patrician III

Game premise and mechanics

Patrician III is a real-time trading simulation set in Northern Europe during the 1300s. In this game, you start as a simple trader and aim to rise in status to become a Patrician, potentially becoming the head of the Hanseatic League. Players achieve this by either improving towns through construction and diplomacy or by engaging in piracy and smuggling to increase their wealth.

Town improvement and diplomacy

The game allows players to engage with various towns, focusing on town improvements as a means of enhancing their social standing. You can undertake different construction projects that impact resources and trade routes. Establishing diplomatic ties with other players or AI-controlled factions is also essential to gaining influence and ensuring prosperous trading relationships.
