 | | In East India Company, players assume the role of Governor Director of one of the East India
Companies or other rival companies. There are eight nationalities to choose from: British, Dutch,
French, Danish, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian or Spanish. Your goal – bring new colonies and wealth
such as: tea, spices, gold, diamonds and other precious cargo back to Europe, but you must dominate
the other rival empires along the way. Wars will be waged and blood will be spilled. Conquer the
open sea and explore 40 different cities, towns and villages.
Starting modestly, you will build your fleet, establish connections to far away countries, and keep
the rivaling nations at bay. Choose from an array of ship classes, types of transport and military
vessels: small sloops, schooners, brigantines, frigates and ship-of-the-line. Create different
fleets and assign them to specific trading routes. Controlling well situated ports and upgrading
them is one key to success.
Conflicts and wars are inevitable. When hostile fleets engage each other, the spectacular naval
battles are fought at a real-time tactical level. Devastating broadsides are fired with a deafening
roar and cannon balls tear through enemy ships and their crew. For greater tactical depth, you can,
at any point, take direct command of any of your ships and feel the battle close up! Fight against
the other European powers to create a trading empire that will rule above all others!
