A Blend of Anno and Age of Empires
This is a game that promises to blend the best elements of classic city builders like Anno with the real-time strategy gameplay of Age of Empires. And of course, pirates immediately mean Sea of Thieves…
You will begin by developing a humble outpost, investing in production buildings and amenities, and then expanding it into a sprawling settlement. You’ll need to distribute valuable goods across a network of docks, depots, and warehouses to address the needs of your citizens and increase their standing in pirate society.
Beyond building your settlement, you will also need to recruit heroic captains and command a powerful fleet. You’ll take to the waves in the name of conquest, liberating islands, defeating rival factions, and navigating complex diplomatic relationships with the most influential national trading companies of the era.
