Here is a real classic. The grandpa of the little known however absolutely great Patrician II.
One hint for all would be millionairs playing patrician I: Go for lots of ships early. There
is a not too high limit to how many ships may be on the map at one time and the competition is not
sleeping in this game!
One needs a real lot of patience to become Eldermann... I never won the title in P1 without
hex-editing (it's simple) the savegame.
