This doesn’t mean that if you are only slightly outgunned you’re going to lose but if the balance is too much in your enemies’ favour I wouldn’t waste your time. It doesn’t matter how skilful you think you are, bigger is always better in combat.
Don’t initiate combat if you are outgunned, you’re going to lose, badly. It’s only later on in the game when you’ll find yourself in need of warships.įor the first time in the series, Port Royale 4 has introduced naval combat. Most of the early missions revolve around setting up settlements so save your fame points for these upgrades. Early on in your campaign, I recommend spending points on unlocking settlement upgrades, whilst it might sound more exciting to spend them on hiring captains and buying loads of warships the settlements are the backbone of trade. Don’t ignore these missions as they give a significant boost to your fame and without them, you may not unlock the things you need quickly enough in order to complete the missions your Viceroy gives out.ĭon’t spend fame on captains or warships early onĪs fame points are limited and slow to build up it’s vital they are spent on the right things. These are usually a town needing certain items, a person to be found or a person needing transport. You can build fame gradually by simply trading but there are plenty of other opportunities out there.Īs you play random side missions will pop up.

You could try starting out as the buccaneer if you’re struggling to build fame points as he comes with a bonus of five points from the start.įame is used to buy upgrade options for your settlements, used to hire captains for your vessels and is also required to purchase the better warships. These are merely basic tips on trade and they don’t even scratch the surface of what can be done.įame is also everything and takes forever to buildįame is equally important to trade in Port Royale 4, it might not appear so at the start of a campaign but if you don’t have a system in place to build fame as early as possible you could find yourself in trouble very quickly. Think about putting multiple convoys on these routes. If there are massive gaps between settlements money won’t come in as quickly as if they were closer together.
Lastly on trade, pay attention to the distance of your trade routes.

You may be buying and selling the wrong items at each settlement, you may not be trading between enough settlements meaning your ships stay full of unwanted goods, your trade routes may not be profitable or you may not have enough ships dedicated to your more profitable routes.Īt first, you’re likely to only have one ship per trade route but don’t forget that this can be expanded massively with multiple convoys each containing multiple ships on your more profitable trade routes. If you find money isn’t coming in quickly enough it usually means one of a few things. Trade is also the only way to give each settlement the resources it needs in order to progress, build and prosper. Not only does trade bring in the cash you need to pay for everything it also helps to increase your fame (more on fame later). Given that Port Royale 4 is a trading sim you won’t be surprised to hear that having a strong trading set up is key to success.
