Experience a world of high adventure, drama and intrigue as the early 18th century is vividly brought to life. The popular PC game finds a new home on the Nintendo DS, with full stylus control making the gameplay more accessible than ever. Set sail to explore new islands, select a suitable location for your settlement, build your own colonies and watch as they grow into flourishing, bustling cities. You’ll need to keep your wits about you to defend your territories from ambitious rivals though. A sophisticated fighting system lets you strategically place your bases, attack enemy troops or seize their islands using tactical outposts.

With three different game modes, a vast range of skills will be put to the test as you play explorer, military strategist, trader, administrator and town planner. The full campaign mode offers 15 missions, with a plot that unfolds through dramatic cut scenes, while in the endless game mode you are free to continue exploring and expanding your colonies, doing battle with computer-controlled players. Multiplayer mode allows you to take on up to three other players, with configurable settings so you can set the conditions for victory.
