Caribbean-themed economic management game Port Royale 4 is getting its third major update - and its biggest patch yet - as part of the Steam autumn sale. The new download brings in over 500MB's worth of changes, from declaring independence, to improving naval battles and town management.
The game has received a 'Mixed' rating on Steam since launching at the end of September, but in our own review we found it to be a decent attempt at reviving a classic management game series, concluding: "At a time where we are short of good management games, this colonial Caribbean experience has put the wind back in our sails."
There are a couple of major changes coming in the 1.3 update, the first of which is that players will now be able to declare independence from the parent nation they choose at the start. Before you can strike out on your own, you'll need to have unlocked all possible concessions, as well as own at least ten military convoys, each with their own captains.
