The first video covers a simple trade of salt. What we can see from the video though is that Pat4 is pretty and very familiar for the players of Patrician 3, there's no radical changes in how trade is done. It has included a bar system that highlights the towns supply of a particular item to stop noobs buying all the stock and not realising they hare paying more for it because they have drained the town. It will be interesting to see how many other "user friendly" additions it's included to help newcomers shine to a usually niche theme game.

i played patrician3 for about 2 months until i went bankrupt..... much like coas it is MUCH easier just to become a pirate and sell or plunder merchant ships, but it defeats the purpose of a TRADE game.
