Merchant Colony description
A good trading strategy with an unhappy fate.
Unhappy because I came during the heyday of this direction and passed almost unnoticed. Merchant Colony is a vivid example of the game is interesting, but not "outstanding". There is not one new to the subgenre ideas, no raisins, which should stay separate.
The action takes place in the era of Great Geographical Discoveries, you can choose from one of the given Nations and start the search, seizure and investigation of new lands, and then there are all sorts of resource extraction and construction of infrastructure, purchase of vessels, dive goods to them and the development of trade with neighbors, not forgetting that these neighbors – concurrency and your worst enemies that may make you some sort of trick.
Mentioning is is that is very nice for its time graphics, as well as to recommend the game to fans of old trading strategies, who have all the gems of the subgenre.
