Caribbean-themed economic management game Port Royale 4 is getting its third major update – and its biggest spell yet – every bit part of the Steam autumn sale. The new download brings in over 500MB's worth of changes, from declaring independence, to up naval battles and town direction.

The game has acceptable a 'Heterogeneous' rating along Steam since launching at the end of September, but in our ain review we found it to be a seemly attempt at reviving a classic management game series, concluding: "At a time where we are short of good management games, this colonial Caribbean go through has put up the wind back in our sails."

There are a couple of major changes coming in the 1.3 update, the prime of which is that players will now be able to hold Independence from the raise Nation they choose at the start. Before you can strike out on your own, you'll need to have unlocked all possible concessions, as well as own at least decade military convoys, each with their ain captains.

Whatsoever cities you held under administration will switch with you and become independent, although you'll turn a loss any building you experience in different cities controlled by your former parent nation. You'll also live in charge of your own diplomacy, and will want to fight a warfare of independency against your senile masters.

Another big change is the construct of economic 'shocks', which will beryllium regional events that will consume a nonindulgent encroachment happening a local area, with some examples conferred being a plague of locusts, or even prohibition. These won't chip in until the player's company has big to a certain size, and only one shock can be good at whatsoever one time, though it derriere hit multiple regions at once. Solitary a few are exit to be included to begin with, with more being added if the community's reaction is favourable.

Other tweaks admit several timbre of life improvements for the turn-based tactical bed, improvements to town direction (including drag and drop-off functions), number scaling, and plenty of other little tweaks. You can read the full changelog here.
