This is an add-on to Patrician IV.

Patrician IV - Rise of a Dynasty review: Gamersgate FAIL

By duncan_idaho_744 posted 5th April

I'm sure this game would be great, if only Gamersgate would supply the activation code. According to Gamersgate, they've run out of activation codes and the vendor has been contacted...WTF? I just payed money for the game and now I have to wait an unspecified amount of time in order to activate / play it?

I'm usually 100% behind gamersgate because of their support for smaller and independent developers (ie Paradox), but at some point customer service has to become a priority. If you don't have the ability to sell a game, DON'T OFFER IT FOR SALE. I wouldn't have "bought" your game if you had added "May not be available for immediate activation" to the product description.

To Gamersgate: you'll want to consider this because I am very happy with Steam (a retail gaming enterprise that I have never had an issue with, customer service is gold); I can easily take my business there and cease my purchases with you. I support you solely because of Paradox games and other smaller developers, but if you continue to exist as a rip-off company, I will gladly jump ship.

Patrician IV - Rise of a Dynasty review

The new features the add-on brought made the game even more enjoyable.

The land route system is interesting, and the map of the treasure is great.

Best of all is the possibility of modding the game to make it more entertaining to the player.

Rise of a Dynasty is even better then the original one, great acquisition.
