In "Republic of Pirates" players set sail in the heart of the Caribbean and experience the golden age of piracy. The pirate city-building game with fleet management and exciting real-time naval battles is now available on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Players build a base on a remote island and lay the foundations of a resource-based economy to increase their wealth and develop the skills of their population. With the resources produced, players build a powerful fleet and can give it orders in real time to explore and conquer nearby islands. Caution is advised, as their actions will not go unnoticed.
Real-time battles and diplomacy
Players must contend with a variety of enemy factions and navigate complex diplomatic relationships as they attempt to gain control of the entire archipelago and reforge the glorious Republic of Pirates.
Players have access to over 100 unique buildings to create resources and infrastructure, can upgrade their industry and improve the skills of their pirate citizens
develop.
The game's special twist is the battles on the water. Players command a fleet of ships, conduct strategic battles in real time, activate ship actions and use the tactical map to plan and carry out their next raid. But it can also be more peaceful, but not without its strategic aspects: fans can build and manage dynamic relationships with rival pirate factions and national trading companies.
Eight unique ship classes can be constructed and their appearance customized. To unlock specializations, players must recruit talented captains and improve their skills
Players attack settlements, collect bounties, sign trade agreements, and race against time to complete urgent faction quests. Fans build a legendary pirate utopia in a narrative campaign with over 30 hours of content, or carve their own path in free play mode with two additional maps that could be conquered.
100 unique buildings
Players have over 100 unique buildings from seven categories at their disposal to develop their settlements. They build homes to house their citizens and set up production chains to produce resources that meet their needs and wants. Strategically placed depots connect production buildings to each other and create an efficient flow of goods. To create a more diverse workforce that can support increasingly complex industries, the population must be further developed with upgrades. Ultimately, players must strike a balance between the global population and the local availability of specialized workers on all of their islands to ensure steady growth of the emerging republic.
Eight different classes of ships can be built in the shipyard, from the simple cog to the massive warship! Each ship has its own unique characteristics and can be built using a combination of resources produced by the player and resources plundered from enemy ships. Before sending their new fleet off to explore the archipelago, players can customize the appearance of the ships and assign individual captains to each ship.
Players encounter a variety of NPC ships that behave differently - from vulnerable merchant ships to hostile neighbors. In battle, players gain experience, which can be used to level up captains and unlock specializations, or to activate ship actions such as the scatter shot and smoke bomb, which give players a tactical advantage in battle.
The key to a successful pirate utopia is expanding the settlements on the different islands, because each island offers more arable land, unique production conditions and access to important, rare resources.
All islands are initially controlled by rival factions, and players must defeat an island's defenses before it can be conquered. Care must be taken, as any expansion efforts will affect the attitudes of other factions to the player's advantage or disadvantage. Therefore, players must navigate and actively manage complex diplomatic relationships to continue expanding.
