Joining the colonial forces of Spain, France, England and the Netherlands, you must learn to manage a small settlement into a major trading city in the 16th and 17th century Caribbean. New in this fourth instalment of the franchise is the increased management and trade between the different islands, mediating large trade routes to meet the growing needs of each city. This time, everything is represented in a unique scenario in which everything takes place in real time, dispensing with the typical rooms typical of this saga. In addition, turn-based strategy also makes its debut in the saga, as this is how the naval battles take place and opens the door to a new military strategy.
Also new this time is the chronological expansion backwards in time, not only focusing on the 17th century, as there are four campaigns -one for each of the previously mentioned colonial powers-, each one is developed at the time when each of them dominated the Caribbean. Another substantial change is that introduced in urbanism and city planning, since poor management – locating housing adjacent to industry – or poor planning of basic services can lead to major problems such as plagues, social unrest and even mass emigration, which has a direct impact on the productivity and performance of the controlled nation.
