About This Game

As captain of a seagoing fleet, you chart your own course through an age of discovery — trading, exploring uncharted waters, hunting treasure, and when the situation calls for it, turning pirate. Two protagonists pursue separate ambitions. Miranda Verte, a Genoese adventurer, sets sail after mistakenly believing the treasure hunter Pietro Conti has proposed to her; her search leads her to the mysteries of an ancient South American civilization. Salvador Reis, adopted son of the legendary corsair Hayreddin Reis, rises through the ranks of Algerian piracy, battling rival clans and fighting for dominance even within his own crew. Both tales unfold in an open world where ambition and the sea define what is possible.
