Steam has PR3, Gus. Sorry.
AoP 2 is nowhere to be found.

Amazon US (possibly other branches) still has some AoP2 copies by indie sellers.

Or did before I and some others made a run on them. :)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Thanks guys. FYI I have a copy of AoP2 - City of Abandoned Ships in my Amazon cart right now. Haven't looked on Steam yet for Port Royale 3. I liked the remake of Pirates and these games sound much deeper.

I'm also checking out Patrician IV on Steam right now. I played the first game but it flummoxed me. Is the newest one more accessible?

Pat3 was (somewhat) more accessible; my guess from what (little) I've heard is that Pat4 is more accessible again.

Is there a demo on Steam?

Some quick Pat4 accessibility notes; there are two versions of the game, regular Pat4 and the expansion (Rise of a Dynasty) which appears to require Pat4. I don't know why someone would play Pat4 if they had the expansion, or just how important the expansion is to the experience. (I happen to own both from a gold edition or something.) I do know that the two editions are patched completely separately, and activated completely separately -- in fact the main version of the game has a whole other level of activation that the expansion doesn't have, yet the expansion can be played without having activated the main game! (I did this sort-of-by-accident.) There is off-site DRM of some sort; I had already registered some kind of account somewhere with a password, although I don't know when or where. Possibly this is not a separate issue with Steam; my version came from Gamersgate, and does not use Steam activation.

Regardless, either version of the game features a campaign as well as freeplay and (for the expansion) scenarios. The campaign acts as a tutorial with advice in various forms.

Pat4-Rise of A Dynasty was just an expansion.  You still need the original Patrician 4 to use it, unless you get the Patrician 4 Gold edition which includes both.

Port Royale 3 has the base game and something like 3 expansions.  The expansions for either of these base games aren't anything huge so if you don't feel like splurging a bit extra for the DLC, it's not a big loss.

Pat4 is probably cheaper since it's a bit older.  But when I think of wooden ships, I think of the 17th & 18th century stuff portrayed in PR3 - not the older Hanseatic League stuff in the Patrician series.  Caribbean or bust!

Of course I don't know which to pick now...Port Royale 3...Patrician 4...or Age of Pirates 2...

LOL!

Did you read the earlier posts, AC?  ;D

Dang, how embarrassing. I should remember to read a bit more before I start typing - anyway reason I asked is I have a copy to trade/gift on Gamersgate if anyone is interested.

I would be interested, but I have nothing to trade other than funds I am afraid. ;)
