The Patrician (em alemão: Der Patrizier) é um jogo de simulação econômica histórica para Amiga, Atari ST e MS-DOS desenvolvido pela Ascaron Entertainment e publicado pela Triptychon Software. No game, o jogador assume o papel de comerciante em qualquer uma das várias cidades da Liga Hanseática, acumulando dinheiro, capital, bens de consumo e imóveis, expandindo sua empresa e avançando em sua carreira no país e no exterior.
Gameplay[editar | editar código-fonte]
A principal ação do The Patrician normalmente consiste em negociar, usando escritórios de comércio e navios. A oferta e a demanda desempenham um papel importante neste jogo. Geralmente visto como uma das simulações de negócios mais complexas, Patrician pode sobrecarregar o jogador com muitas informações. Os jogadores também podem construir obras públicas, casas particulares e indústrias, seguir carreira na política e interagir com personagens como piratas e ladrões. [1]
The game features an advanced dynamic economy which can be influenced by the actions of both the human players and the A.I.-controlled players. This in turn affects the various towns (constantly buying high and selling low will cause a town to grow poorer, for instance).[1]
By helping a town grow, the player will gain popularity there, which will help in the Hanseatic elections. The goal of the game is to be elected leader of the Hanseatic League, but the player can only take part in Hanseatic elections once he or she has been elected lord mayor of the home town.[1]
Ascaron released two sequels to 1992's The Patrician; Patrician II: Quest for Power (2000) and Patrician III: Rise of the Hanse (2002). The Patrician series was continued in 2010 with The Patrician IV, after Kalypso Media bought the licenses from the insolvent Ascaron company.
The Patrician was a commercial success.[2] By 2000, its sales at full price had totaled roughly 250,000 units.[3]
A Computer Gaming World reviewer in 1993 criticized the identical cities, "simplistic" combat, and "mundane" trading, stating that "the long term appeal of this game, except to bank managers and chartered accountants, is therefore questionable". He concluded that The Patrician was "too Germanic in appearance, perhaps needing a bit of British innovation, some French savoir faire, or maybe some Stateside polish".[4] Another reviewer in 1994 liked the graphics and interface (especially as he criticized the manual's English translation and accuracy), but warned that "Once the pricing system is understood, the trading elements of the game becomes somewhat repetitive". He recommended The Patrician to those looking for an unusual, non combat-oriented strategy game.[5]
The One gave the Amiga version of The Patrician an overall score of 82%, comparing the gameplay to 1869, stating "This is the game that 1869 should have been; it has more character, more depth and better presentation ... The historical background adds a tremendous amount of atmosphere". The One also praised the user-friendly UI and the need to progress both politically and financially, and expressing that expanding their fleet of ships "gives an excellent feeling of power".[6]
