port royale i guess
patrician
Hear me out.
PIRATES AND TRADERS 1 & 2 on mobile. (Only used it on android so)
These two games (the first one especially) are genuinely the best pirate games I've ever played in my life. I started playing Pirates and Traders as a kid before I could even understand English, and despite not knowing what was going on the gameplay was enough to hook me.
Looks cool. I'll check it out on the train.
>in beta
>since 2018
I wanted to check it out but, uhm, kinda.. not anymore
is it still good?
Good luck finding something better..
see
Played them for years.
my own thread but I'll add
buccaneer!
taipan
tradewinds (never played this)
fabled lands java
Warband
Port Royale 1
Port Royale 2
Starsector (probably with a mod to reduce the 30% tariff)
Helium Rain
Elite Dangerous
Avorion
X4
Starpoint Gemini
Starsector
>Starsector (probably with a mod to reduce the 30% tariff)
>Trading legitimately
Mount and blade Viking conquest
How good is Carribean!? I've been thinking about giving it a try.
Why is bannerlord such shit?
It was complete dogshit years ago before the changed the name to what it is now, wouldn't recommend risking it.
new indies
Sailing Era
Sagres
Spore
High Sea Trader (fun)
1869 (also fun)
Ports of Call (very fun)
Ocean Trader (it's fine, I guess)
HST was the game I convinced my father with to upgrade our rig, so it has a special place for me.
in 1510 some mediterranean israelite asked himself the same thing -> Triangle Slave Trade
It's a GBA game but very good
I swear that I seen that chick before in like 10 unrelated games and cartoons just dressed differently.
>Generic Asian lady is generic
Who would have thought!
sea dradder :-DDDDD
rise of benis :-DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
We need more Victorian era qipao waifus in videogames
Why victorian era specifically?
so we can join opium war expedition and rape
Ports of call
Hanse
(Day of the) Pharaoh
Uncharted waters
Based Uncharted Waters bros.
the various versions of sid meier's pirates!
Never found it as profitable as privateering/piracy. I just assumed that the differing prices from merchants was to reward attentive players with slightly more money for their ill-gotten gains.
i mean you just steal cargo and sell it to the closest port.
>still no proper resolution patch for this game
it's never going to happen at this point is it
All it takes is having a monitor from before 2018 or so, so it will still have the max resolution the game can handle.
space rangers
if you're including sci-fi space traders there's a shitload. i have a soft spot for the escape velocity series
The Escape Velocity games were great.
No better feeling than when you found a good route for hauling luxury goods and you hired as many freight ship escorts as you could afford to do the run.
>tried playing this on my Anbernic but the text was too small and hurt my eyes
I was so close to peak comfyness
>Anbernic
what model?
From stuff no one mentioned yet :
NAEV
ASCII Sector
Drox Operative
Pioneer
Oolite
Caravaneer 2
Theoretically Battle Brothers
The Caribbean Sail
M&B Bannerlord IF the game had a cargo ship transport system. There is probably a mod for that gameplay feature on the Steam Workshop.
Bannerlord has an extensive merchant trading system, but it is only on land and not on sea.
Viking Conquest had good ship trading, unfortunately they baked in mandatory theft if you had more than a certain amount of stuff because they were too chimpmode to balance the economy and settled for punishing people playing outside the lines
Do tactical rpgs count? If so, Horizon's Gate.
I used to like the tradewinds games as a child. I bought them on steam a few years back and realized that it didn’t really appeal to me anymore.
>growing up
>on Ganker
lmao, kek even.
What can I say? I’ve lost a lot of passion for things I used to like.
Spoken like a true Redditor.
Yeah you got me, I’ve had a Reddit account for 7 years or so.
Yeah, I'm betting you have a Ganker GOLD account, too.
Two games that kind of fit, but not exactly. Sid Meier’s Colonization and conquest of the new world. You don’t buy and then sell, you just sell.
Also technically Capitalism II also fits, as you can buy goods at a port and then sell them in a department store. Note that someone made a remake thats SP only called capitalism labs.
Did anybody ever play a game that involved trading in airships? I think it had a middle eastern and Asian theme to it.
Nevermind. Pretty sure it was called tradewinds.
Yeah that’s tradewinds.
I know you said it was tradewins but that really sounds like sunless skies. albeit I've never played it and its more of an RPG.
Sunless Skies is spacetrains rather than airships, and definitely not middle eastern or asian themed.
However both of the sunless games are good to scratch the port-to-port trading itch.
You just described 90% if Starsector's early game.
Dust to the End
Endless Sky
No one has mentioned Merchant Prince or its sequel Machiavelli the Prince yet. Apart from trading, you can also buy cardinals, bribe senators, assassinate your rivals' senators and burn down your rivals' villas. They're trading games but also like 14th century mafia sims.
Rebel Galaxy
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw
Both are sort of Privateer spiritual successors
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Horizon's Gate is decent enough if you liked Uncharted Waters
merchant of the skies
