El joven comerciante Jack Savvy levanta un imperio comercial por las islas del Caribe, compitiendo contra el pirata Fallen Henry por llegar al primero a un cofre del tesoro secreto. Recolecta recursos, levanta granjas, canteras, cabañas forestales y edificios de procesamiento para fabricar bienes valiosos como pan a partir de harina de maíz, empleando oro y trabajadores. Su compañera hechicera Tamika repele amenazas mágicas como tótems encantados, muñecos vudú y pirámides antiguas entre junglas, pantanos, colinas y desiertos.
Los jugadores eliminan obstáculos, construyen puentes y caminos, y adaptan cadenas de producción ante cambios en los precios del mercado, incluso derribando edificios para sustituirlos. Las batallas navales requieren dar órdenes a la tripulación para vencer a los piratas, mientras que las mejoras para el barco surgen de la exploración de islas. Esta aventura estratégica casual es ideal para fans de la construcción centrada en el comercio y la gestión de recursos en PC.
Young Englishman Jack Savvy decides to launch a trade empire in the Caribbean. However, the greedy pirate Fallen Henry stands between Savvy and his success, attacking him for his ship and resources.
In the thick of battle, the wicked pirate manages to tear off part of a real treasure map that miraculously ended up with Jack. And now the young trader must beat the pirate in the race for the secret treasure chest!
On your journey, you'll encounter not only rockslides and economic troubles, but also magic — including enchanted totems, voodoo and ancient pyramids. Luckily, your crew includes the delightful sorceress Tamika, who has a score to settle with Fallen Henry.
Unlike other games in the genre, Merchants of the Caribbean places an emphasis on trade. Of course, the settlers will also have to build bridges and roads, clear obstacles and sell the resources they collect. As well as building a farm, quarry and forest hut, you can also construct processing buildings, whose output is more expensive and better-suited for future production. For example, you can make bread from cornflower by building a special building and having a small amount of gold and an available worker. Every building can be torn down and replaced with a new one. This is very useful when the market is oversaturated with certain kinds of products and their price is falling.
Don't let magical forces stand in your way as you encounter secret totems, living voodoo dolls and ancient pyramids.
