Patrician III

Patrician III is an economic sandbox set in 13th-century Europe. As a member of the Hanse trading association, you build a trading empire, manage your city’s politics, prestige and economy, and decide how to use your wealth and influence. Its in-game AI adjusts the difficulty to your experience and ability.

Build your empire

Trade across the known parts of Europe and expand into the Old World. Build warehouses, workshops, brickworks and other businesses to strengthen your financial position in the Hansa. Run large trading operations while dealing with seasonal weather effects, and visit cities including Hamburg, Stockholm, London, Novgorod and Oslo. You can also explore the Mediterranean.

Shape your city

Develop your town’s infrastructure with roads, hospitals and schools to improve your reputation at home. Raise your standing through town improvements and diplomacy, and you can become Lord Mayor, gaining full control of the city. You can also hold galas to celebrate victories in battle and your town’s growth.

Choose your path

You can build wealth and standing in several ways: pursue trade and diplomacy, become a famous pirate killer, or turn to piracy and smuggling yourself.
