I played all the versions Patrician 1-3 and now with the Proton setup with slight tweaks it also works on Linux. A great economy simulation game set in the late medieval period in northern Europe. Success requires applying the right strategy.

Seriously, I have been waiting for a worthy successor to Patrician III for 22 years. I wonder if it's going to happen in my lifetime. If there is anyone left doubting this game, just buy it.

Spent countless hours on this game before i even knew steam existed; probably fueled an addiction to watching numbers go up and down.

One of my favourite classic titles from way back. Excellent game and still enjoyable today! Also - If you are on Win 10 or 11, open the install folder, right-click on Patrician3.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program.... for Windows 7,. Then it should work :)

Best trading game ever made, no other game come short of the complexity and depth of this one. wish someone made a proper successor, closest modern game I could find is anno 1800 but it still as a long way to go. 10/10 game, you can sink thousands of hours in it without realising.
