At that point, it gets to be a little overwhelming to micromanage every single ship in your fleet, but there is a tool that allows you to set automated trade routes among each convoy. It won't be long before your advisor has you buying more ships to run multiple routes. Still, it doesn't take long to figure out how to trade effectively (always trade above the average price of your goods, and you're golden!). The game does fail to explain extremely basic concepts such as what "average price" exactly means to your business, so hopefully you remember your high school math classes coming into the game. These videos are absolutely excellent, and the actual trading interface is fantastic: once you get a ship in port, it's a breeze to load up with any of your selected goods. An advisor-your in-game uncle-is there to hold your hand through the basics of trading goods, and in-game videos will play with voice-overs to explain exactly what to do in any given situation. This is done through the game's campaign mode, which is essentially an extended tutorial. Even for players of older Patrician games, it would be confusing to throw everything at you at once, and the game does a fairly good job at introducing new aspects of the game without overwhelming you. Play Of course, becoming a famous trader throughout Europe is not as simple as making a profit, and this is what makes Patrician IV special: it tries to be two or three games in one, combining the mundane ideas of trading with political dealings and city building aspects to create a singular experience that has you balancing many different responsibilities at the same time.
