I do think the reviewer shouldve tested both compatibilites

That was exactly what I've done - as with every game I've reviewed. I had no cursor in DOSBox and therefore the review says Compatability: VDMSound, which works fine for me. :whistle:

Hmm, I picked up Patrician 2 a couple of years ago, but didn't really like it that much. I'm gonna check this one out, though. Maybe I'll like it better.

I think I heard something about Patrician 3 a while back. Does anyone know if it has been released or if it's even in production?

Edit: It seems that the zip file contains the game twice. In the patrician folder, there is another folder called patrician, containing the full game. This should probably be corrected, even though the size difference will be less than two MB. There is no reason to squander server space.

Edit 2: The game hangs every time I go to the town scribes office and select record personal data (or the other option). Does anybody else have this problem, and is it important to the game?

Since this is a ripped game with not music and cut-scenes, you must disable the sound-effects, music tracks in the options menu from your office in the very beginning. Gimme a shout if you need addons for this game.

Hey Bobbin: you made me laugh my dash out by catagorizing this game in Simulation genre instead of Strategy. Or, maybe you thought its a trading simulation game. hahaha

P.S: I think there is a cheat to get millions of thalers without much trading, interested?

The Patrician III is the US release of The Patrician II with Addons. In Europe it is known as "Rise of the Hanse". A real 3rd part of the series is not yet officially in production , as Ascaron is developing the Sacred sequel at the moment, but the Ascaron forums speak of some "secret projects", and who knows...

:blink: You're right. No idea how that could happen.

You may laugh, but that is exactly what I thought. I find it quite hard sometimes to categorize business simulations into Simulation / Strategy, as you can find good examples for them in both categories. What makes Merchant Prince, Ports of Call or Transport Tycoon more of a simulation than The Patrician? The game would've fitted into Strategy as well, however.

Right-click until you are in a room. You will find on a table 2 books and in front of them 2 objects, I think. Left-click on the left object and a menu should appear.
In it you can save, load, quit ...

Happy playing ! k:

I know HOW TO save the game, but it does not work.
i.e.: I save under "Spiel", then I quit. When I want to load, it says "no savegame available".

I am new to this game. What is the function of an office? How to prepare a feast? My guests has always been starved and thirsty. How to fund a church? Why need to join a Guild? Convoy??? Never heard of it!!!
I have googled "Patrician manual" but no available.
