[h2]The day has finally come m’hearties![/h2] Cannons at the ready, it's time to set sail and build a mighty pirate utopia – [i][b]Republic of Pirates[/b][/i] is out now! To celebrate we’re offering a [b]10% launch discount until 3rd July.[/b] We have also extended the availability of our demo and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2103470/view/6851744408532407325]rolled out an update[/url] that will allow you to [u][b]continue your save[/b][/u] should you choose to purchase the full game :) Prepare to seek your fortune by watching our new launch trailer: [previewyoutube=6f1q6hJAwNY;full][/previewyoutube] [h3]Establish a thriving settlement[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44771533/35111987a94d52335024e56c20867308eb50dbe0.jpg[/img] Construct over [b]100 unique buildings[/b] across [b]7 categories[/b] to develop your settlements. Build residences to house your citizens and set up production chains to produce resources that fulfil their needs and wants. Strategically place depots to link production buildings and create an efficient flow of goods. [b]Upgrade your citizens[/b] to create a more diversified workforce and support increasingly complex industries. You’ll ultimately need to balance your global population with the local availability of specialised workers on every island you own to ensure steady growth across the burgeoning republic! [h3]Command a powerful fleet[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44771533/610686efa723fbe0c82776101cf4953d06103686.jpg[/img] Visit the shipyard to [b]construct 8 different ship classes[/b], from the humble cog to the formidable man-of-war! Each ship has its own unique stats and can be constructed using a combination of producible materials and resources looted from destroyed enemy vessels. Assign [b]individual captains[/b] and customise each ship’s cosmetics before ordering your new fleet to strike out and explore the archipelago. Encounter and engage a [b]variety of NPC ships[/b] with varying behaviours, from vulnerable merchant vessels to hostile neighbours. Gain experience through combat to level up your captains and unlock specialisations, or [b]activate ship actions[/b] such as the scattershot and smoke bomb to give you the tactical edge in battle. [h3]Conquer the archipelago[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44771533/5727a841f7c2d071f1ebac6e64e6912c3120732b.jpg[/img] [b]Expanding your settlements across different islands[/b] is the key to building a successful pirate utopia, as each island will have more buildable land, unique production conditions and access to essential, rare materials. All islands will initially be under the control of [b]rival factions[/b], and you’ll need to defeat an island’s defences before it can be conquered. Be warned, however, as your expansionist actions will influence the attitudes of the other factions to your benefit and detriment. You’ll therefore need to navigate and actively [b]manage complex diplomatic relationships[/b] in order to keep expanding! Thank you all so much for your ongoing support!
